Switchin' Things Up a Bit...

I have decided to start a blog over at Tumblr. Ever since I have been following Ben + his story...I have found so many other blogs over there where people are keeping track of their weight and workouts...so so inspiring :)

I will still be updating this blog...it will just be more geared towards my running!!!

So you gotta come on over and cheer me on over at my tumblr blog :)

TGIF :)

I CANNOT BELIEVE I AM DOING THIS...

YEP...I am gonna let ya all know how much I weigh and give updates as to where I am at!!! (I had a hard time awhile back letting my Boyfriend know how much I weighed so this is HUGE!!!) As you all know, I have been following Ben Davis' blog and just love how he is keeping track of his weight and giving updates on a monthly basis!!!
I guess this will keep me accountable to ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I need this!!!!!!
I think it will help me!!!!!!

Soooooo, as Ben Davis says: This is a gift to myself, and to you. Follow along and watch me lose. It's going to be GOOD.

October 1st: 187.5 (Yikers!)
October 15th: 186.5 (I lost ONE POUND!!! Yeah, Baby!!!)

MY GOAL WEIGHT IS: 135

I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be stepping on this bad boy...


on the 1st and 15th of every month and keep you posted :)

HERE I GO..........

Let's catch up!!!

Sorry I have been MIA for a bit...

Here are my last two weeks of running...(yes, there was some walking involved!)...

October 3rd - 9th...only 6 six miles (not so good)...



October 10th - 16th...now were talkin'!!! Almost 14 miles and I may even squeeze in a run tomorrow morning!!??



There is this girl at the gym who is a runner...she reads while running on the treadmill!?! I just could not believe how someone could run and read at the SAME TIME!!!!!! WELL...I thought what the heck, let's give this a try...! So I picked up my latest issue of Runners World and gave it a whirl the other day and I really enjoyed it alot! I wanted to try something a little different...kinda getting bored with the tv and my tunes...

I am really lovin' this new shirt from runningskirts[dot]com!!!
Take a look here...

soooo cute, right?!?! I love the little pink runners on the shirt :)
It would be perfect for my 5k in November!!!

RUN, Candi, RUN...

HELLO, Friday!!! So glad you are here :)

Last night I actually RAN a 5k on the treadmill (NO walking except for warming up and cooling down)...it felt great to get some running in again :)



This morning I made it to the gym and did a power walk...



I am getting pumped up again...
I know I have shared with you in the past about Ben Davis...
WELL...I watched one of his interviews yesterday and I was thinking to myself WHY can't I have his attitude???!!! The answer is simply...YES, I can have his attitude!!!
I told myself last night...just do it, Candi...just run on that treadmill!!!!!!!!!! And I did it! I know I can run...I just need a little push, sometimes I kinda feel lazy and run some and then do a little walking in between...there is no reason for me to walk, it's just me being lazy...if I was in pain, YES...I would do some walking...so why slow down and walk??? I know I can’t run every day because my legs need the rest but I sure can run every other day and walk on the opposite days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to change my body...for me!!! I am NOT happy with myself and the way I look so why not make myself HAPPY :) and get more serious......and see GREAT results!!!
I want to lose 50 lbs......SO.BAD.
