Last week I did my first guest post over at SeattleRunnerGirl and wrote about never giving up. It seems on a daily basis (actually multiple times per day) I am faced with the decision to either give up or move forward. It can be as simple as making the choice to have a green tea from Starbucks instead of a latte; to as complex as how do I prepare myself for my week-long vacation to San Francisco when I wont have access to a gym, Godfather, and the comforts of home to keep me on track.Whe...
Getting rid of the est(s) and embracing the er(s)
Tuesday, August 31st 2010
Most days I am afraid to try.I am afraid to try because I want to be the best at everything. I am an overachiever. Anyone that has lived as a fat person knows what Im talking about. Fat is our one failure that we can never seem to shed.

August is coming to a close and it has by far been one of the best months since starting this LCJ back in January. Im discovering that there is so much more to this journey than the numbers on the scale (even though I am still obsessed with them confession: I still weigh multiple times a day). This month has been about self discovery and watching my body become stronger with each passing day. Its been about meeting people and listening to their stories as I figure out what my next chapte...
