As promised, here's Part 2 of What I've Been Reading Lately. As you may remember, before I started my new job, I was really putting the effort in to read every day. As a result, I had tons of books to share each month. Since I've started working down here in Salem, I've still been …

What I’ve Been Reading Lately Part 1
I'm finally back with another blog post! Happy Super Bowl Sunday! For today's post, I thought I would share what I've been reading lately. Usually I do a post about what I've been reading every month, but I've definitely been slacking on that in the past couple of months. I promise that I will get …
Where I’ve Been!
So for all of the people who have been following my blog so far, you're probably wondering where I've been for the past month! Let me tell you, it's been a whirlwind, but for all of the best reasons. At the beginning of December, I accepted a job in Salem, Massachusetts, and I have been …
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 …
Books I Read in August
Happy September! As usual, I am back again with the books I've read throughout the month of August. You might remember that last month I was all about the crime novels. While those books definitely kept my attention and gave me all the suspense I needed, I decided to switch it up this month and …

Running Update #8
Remember that whole overindulging thing I was talking about in my last post? I definitely overindulged during the Memorial Day weekend and didn't track what I was eating quite as carefully as I should have (including a greasy Chinese meal one night,) but that's life! In between all of the overindulgences, I have still managed …
Running Update #7
I have finally conquered running for 5 minutes at a time, and increased my running time by 3 minutes! Even with the two weeks when I wasn't running often, I have still been able to make some progress in my running training, which I'm proud of. Considering the fact that there was a time when …
Building Confidence
If there is one thing that my anxiety has had an effect on, it would definitely be my confidence. When you're constantly worrying about whether you're doing something right or wrong, it's really difficult to feel confident about yourself. It's something that I have struggled with for a long time. But my anxiety is not …
