Winners (you) and Losing (me)

This is a first for me...blogging on my iPad. So I'm sorry in advance for any mistakes. My girls are taking a bath, so I'm blogging while I supervise. Multitasking at its finest. Today was supposed to be the end of the Thrive Forward giveaway, but I decided to extend it another week. So spread the word. And join now! The more the merrier. And I could use use some support. Your support. The five pounds I wanted to lose turned into ten over the holidays. Thrive Forward is a great way to get me back on track and eating better! And don't forget you can win a box of yummy protein bars just for joining the FREE program.

Speaking of giveaways...

I FINALLY put together the list of Runnerd Photo-A-Day entries and let Random.org work it's magic.

The winners are:

Red ActiveBand: buildthemachine
Green ActiveBand: RedheadRunning
Silver ActiveBand: melanieamorim
Runnerd Sticker: frannyjo13
Runnerd Magnet: marnonicknamelo
Runnerd Ornament: KovasP

Please send your mailing address and your real name to ihaverun@hotmail.com so I can get you your goodies! I loved all the awesome runnerd/holiday photos. I miss seeing all your runnerdness. And I miss having a reason to post on Twitter and Instagram every day. I wish I could give everyone who participated something, but I haven't won the lottery or written a best seller yet. When I do, I'll have a
sticker, magnet, t-shirt, ornament or some other runnerd awesomeness with your name on it.

Carpet Burn On My Butt (and a giveaway)

After two lame, pathetic, lackluster weeks of running, I woke up excited to run yesterday. And today, I wore my running clothes all morning in anticipation of my nap time run today. Even in spite of sore glutes and tired quads from getting in some P90X Core Synergistics last night, I couldn't wait to get moving on Millie. I am a planner. Today I had a plan to get my run in while my girls slept, and my day was organized accordingly. I am also a creature of habit. The first thing I do when I roll out of bed every single day is make my bed and my girls' beds. If I do something else first, it throws off the entire morning. I am a creature of habit when it comes to my running routines as well. There are a few things that differ depending on whether I am running on Millie or outside, whether my girls are asleep or not, and whether or not they are joining me in the jogger. Yet, no matter when, where, how far or with whom I run, some things are always the same. My hair goes into a pony

Social Media: Some good, a lot of bad, and way too much ugly

There are a lot of good things that come from social media. We can connect with people we have lost touch with. We can unite as a group (runners!!) with a comment interest. We can promote a good cause. Sadly though, what social media does best is makes us feel bad about ourselves and makes us feel negatively towards others. This isn't just my opinion, although I can unquestionably support the truth behind this based on my own experience. I have spent way too much time feeling bad about myself as a result of comparing myself to others based on their Instagram or Facebook versions of themselves. And there are several people I have started feeling negatively about or have become completely annoyed with because of their IG and FB posts. It isn't just me though. There are actual studies that can back me up on the negative impact social media can have. I have read dozens of articles reviewing many different studies that show the overwhelmingly negative (vs. positive) effec

I wasn't sure going in...

Yep, I'm checking in. Why? Because I did something completely out of my comfort zone that I wanted to share with you. Last week I went to a place near Salt Lake called Dexa Body, where I got a DEXA Scan. For those unfamiliar with what that is, I asked Google to help us out:  "Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry  ( DXA , previously  DEXA ) is a means of measuring  bone mineral density  (BMD). Two  X-ray  beams, with different  energy levels , are aimed at the patient's  bones . When  soft tissue   absorption is subtracted out, the  bone mineral density  (BMD) can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the most widely used and most thoroughly studied bone density measurement technology." Since that is pretty medical sounding, here's my take. A DEXA Scan is a tool to measure your total body composition. It specifically breaks down the regional composition of your lean and fat tissue. It gives a fat distribution
