If you've been following me for a while, you may remember that I made the decision to start running last spring. My ultimate goal is to be able to run a 5K. For a while there, I was updating everyone every week with my progress. As you might have noticed, I haven't done one of …

Dealing with Plateaus
As I've found out, this weight loss journey is not always going to be full of upward momentum and big successes. There's going to be both ups and downs, and the rough patches are all just part of the experience. I've been dealing with one of those rough patches lately, as my weight loss has …
Reflecting on a Full Year of Healthy Living
It has officially been a year since I started this journey of healthy living. Whenever I tried to be healthier in the past, it never lasted. I tried to make changes with the best intentions, but I was never able to keep the momentum going. I am both surprised and proud that I've stuck with …

My Thoughts on Body Shaming
Today I wanted to talk about something that I have been thinking about for a while: body shaming. I've mentioned this a little bit in other posts, but I do think it's an important issue that deserves its own post. While we as a society do need to work on being kinder to each other …

I hope everyone has had a great week so far. My birthday was yesterday, and I still can't believe I'm actually 25! Back when I was in high school, 25 seemed pretty old to me. While I feel older in some ways, I definitely don't feel like a "real" adult. I do think I have …
