Sounds cool! Are they at the same time? Do both!
I wish I could but unfortunately there isn’t enough time between the races. I wouldn’t be able to cross town in time to get to the Color Run.

5K & progressive marathon
Someone who I follow on twitter posted a discount code for the SF Marathon in July. I clicked on the link because I was curious to the cost (it’s $125 for the full & $95 for the half) but then I saw a fee for a 5K & progressive marathon of $35. I’ve never heard of this before but it sounds pretty cool.
You basically have to run/walk 23.1 miles prior to race day and you...

OMG moment
Ten days ago, I posted that one of my goals for December was to finish a 5K in under 50 minutes. I think I was riding on an exercise high because I had just walked my fastest 5K that day with a time of 51:20. I was only able to work out one more day after that and then I got sick. Today I went back to the gym after not working out all week and this happened:
I did this today. Me. I still...
Weekly weigh in & Christmas goodies
I was sort of bummed that I got sick because I couldn’t work out so I doubt I will make my goal of 1,000 exercise minutes for the month. I am finally feeling better & will be going back to the gym today. Gotta prepare to for an epic race this weekend. It could the meds that I am on (antibiotics & Sudafed) or the fact that I was more conscious of what I ate since I couldn’t...

Mix with Orange Crush, and you have a “Creamsicle” - just like the popsicle! Ratio is 2 parts Orange Crush to 1 part Pinnacle Whipped.
That sounds delicious! My friend made a drink similar to that. Hers had whipped cream flavored vodka, blood orange vodka, vanilla bean ice cream & italian orange...

Yesterday was a fail as far as working out. I felt like crap & spent most of the day in bed. Once I got moving though, I did start to feel better & was able to finish a project I’ve been working on.
Today I pretty much feel like I did when I woke up yesterday. But the difference is that I won’t be staying in bed. I’m gonna get my gym clothes on and go work out. It may...

If you plan for it, it will work.
What’s it? For me, it’s Weight Watchers. I was a bit concerned this week on how I would do with my weight loss. I find that the times when I lose control is when I go out to eat. For me, it’s hard to stay on track in the face of temptation. I also lost 5.2 pounds last week so I wasn’t sure how my body would perform this week. I lost two pounds and that makes me so...
It's Monday, so let's remember that promise we...

Christmas came early
Last night I had Christmas dinner with my mom and sister and we also had a gift exchange. It’s a bit early to be exchanging gifts but both my mom and sister are going to Mexico City for the holidays next week. Dinner was delicious. We went to a restaurant in Corte Madera called Brick & Bottle and the menu is described as classic comfort food with a fresh and modern touch.
I had...

My numbers don't lie
Earlier this week I posted that I had walked my fastest 5K on the treadmill. I was really excited to see the time going down so I kept pushing myself to see how fast I could go.
The top number is Tuesday’s time, then Wednesday and then today. I look a bit crazy in my picture (oh my hair!) but I was ecstatic with my time. I may sound a bit overconfident, but my goal for December is...

Taking a look at Brooksy’s transformation pic, I thought I would follow suit. Sometimes, we need to remind ourselves how far we’ve come. The mirror doesn’t show the drastic changes over night.
I can’t wait to compare it again when I’m another 80 pounds thinner.
We’ve all come a long way baby. Let’s keep going.
I hope you aren’t tired of me yet today. :) I’m feeling really...

I don’t know if anyone else suffers from this, but here is when it hits me.
Let’s say that I have had a good day eating, but then during dinner I eat a little too much and go over my calories/points/however you keep up with it. This leads to the thought process of “well, I screwed that up, might…
