So, I was going to update this blog a long time ago but um.. I was out running... Anyway, here comes the new update..

Last time I posted I was on the cusp of seeing that 1 in front of my weight for the first time since high school. And not only did it happen that week, it read 198. That was an amazing feeling. And so there I was standing on my scale in the kitchen dancing. And I have been dancing every week since.

This week, and Im starting to lose track of how many weeks its been- I believe t… Continue

Well here I am, it's been 13 weeks since i started kinetix and I have lost 39 pounds. 39 freakin pounds. it averages 3 pounds a week. it wasnt of course because the first week i dropped 9 and the few weeks after that i lost about 1- 1.5 a week... but pretty consistently the last month or so i have been losing about 3 a week. its encouraging. and heres the big deal- I am 200 lbs. exactly. this weeks weigh in is going to be reeeeeeeeeeeallllly exciting. for the first time since i was in high schoo… Continue

I am just wondering if I can get some advice on what to expect. I still have 34 pounds to lose… Continue

So when I set out on this Kinetix journey, my long, long, and I mean really long term goal was to lose 60 pounds. It seemed completely out of reach. I mean ridiculous. 60 pounds is a lot of weight, and at 5'11 my goal weight would be thin. I have never been thin in my entire life. the thought of it dumbfounds me actually. Im pretty sure that's why I've never tried to accomplish it in a serious way.

Now, after the past 6 weeks, I wake up in the morning with bursts of energy, I feel good about wh… Continue

So six weeks ago, Justin and I started going to a small state park about 10 minutes away, three times a week for cardio days. We don't have a gym membership and wanted to go somewhere beautiful in hopes that it would inspire us to get those workouts done. There are a few trails about Morrow Mountain, some easier than others. The first time we went out, we just picked the first trail we saw which ended up being the easiest. No inclines really, just a long flat trail. That first day was a pain in… Continue
