Hungry has nothing to do with it…
2013 was a good year for me. In November of 2012, I decided I was going to start running … and I made a handful of halting little tries. On and off throughout December, mostly walking, I think I wound up with 18 total miles in 6 weeks. But, I had registered for a 5K […]

Read MoreI knew I was having a good week, but this is ridiculous – and teaches me a lesson. First, as always, the numbers: Weight: 276.6 One Week Gain / (Loss): (6.4 pounds) Total Gain / (Loss): (50.8 pounds) Holy crap.
