My many talents. . .

K so. . . it's DAY 2!!

Yippee. I'm what you would call a "type A personality." Anal, picky, OCD. . . whatever. Types like me tend to be intense, but what I lack is ORGANIZATION. I am so NOT a multi-tasker. Seriously, there are those who cannot walk and chew gum at the same time, and I can totally identify. Like 2 things, for example, diet and exercise!! As I was training for my 1/2 marathon I noticed that it was entirely too much for me to keep track of both what I was eating, and keep track of my mileage at the same time. And thus, while I was able to keep my mileage at 20+ for the week, I didn't drop a single pound.

So far what I've been able to eat today:
1 bowl instant oatmeal (3pts)
1 Pineapple pleasure Smoothie from Smoothie king (6 pts)

Holiday Hash

Okay. So blogging is not my 1st priority (obviously) and neither is weight loss. :( SO here I go AGAIN with my weight loss blog. How many false starts does it take to get into a pair of skinny jeans? Yeah. . . I'm not great at math, either.

All right, so with the craziness of Thanksgiving (also known as the day before Black Friday) behind us, I have really wanted to jump start a new years resolution. Baby steps. Gonna try and lose 5 lbs. I mean, that's an ok 1st goal, right? To be honest keeping track of eating hasn't been high on my list, but I do have good news, I completed the SNOW CANYON 1/2 marathon 2 weeks ago. My time was 2:36:04 a good time to beat. I really wanted to do a 1/2 marathon the year I was 30, so YAY MEEEEEE!! It's been an amazing journey. . . learned so much about myself. Not least among them, that NOTHING is impossible. Including weight loss. Been there before, I can do it again, & succeed :))

so gonna start by zeroing my sights on 5lbs and gonna attack it like a starving lion on a gazelle. (Mmmm. . .gazelle)
