Liz: And I'll be at my goal weight by then...
Ben: By June?
Liz: Yea, that's only 25 more pounds.
Ben: ...
Liz: Do you not think that's doable?!
Ben: *grins slyly* Not given your track record....

I'd be mad at him, but I feel a little guilty about the mean stuff we all say about him behind his back. Shhhhh, our secret.
~ New York City ~
New York City was a lovely trip, and a trip that went exactly the opposite as I had planned. I didn’t take too many photos (disclaimer: for me) as I lost one of my cameras, and had no money (I’m a hot mess like that), which lead to a this-is-what-it-be-like-if-I-lived-in-New-York-City type of trip, and get this… I don’t want to live in New York. Ever.
Say WHA? Life....

Saturday. 9am. Columbus Circle. Do Life 5k "Run."
Run is in quotations because straight up, if I manage a jog I’ll be (super duper) impressed with myself.
So if you’re in New York City tomorrow morning, and want a guilt free Saturday, come run-walk-jog-saunter with me and Ben!
I’ll be the girl at the back, enjoying the scenery, and taking it slow, like really, really slow, because 5k seems like a marathon to me right now.

Anonymous asked: I just read your "My life [In Weight]" post, and was so touched that I also read it to my sister. I thought you should know that not only are you a wonderful inspiration but also a talented writer- which gives you an even better oppurtunity to reach out to those around you. We also looked at your pictures, and my sister remarked on how pretty you are. I'm so happy for you and...

My Life [In Weight].
0 - 7: Absolutely oblivious to my size, food, or calories. Ate what I wanted, when I wanted. My earliest memory is actually sitting in the kitchen sink eating cottage cheese. It was a love affair from the start.
7 - 10: Slightly becoming aware, I may be bigger than the other girls, but whatevs, my pink butterfly clips, and the frosting on ice-cream cake keeps me quite happy.
11 - 12: Have now...

Mom: What were your 3 New Year's Resolutions Again?
Me: Ummm... to weigh 125, to run a marathon under 5 hours, and to save money
Mom: So you just got yourself a fudgesicle and had pizza for dinner last night, haven't run since Las Vegas, and you're going to New York City this week?
Me: Yes, but work is paying for NYC.
Mom: Are you planning on shopping there?
Me: Maybe... as in yes. But I REALLY don't see your point. Marathon training starts Feb 1st, I'm living at home to SAVE MONEY, and clearly fudgesicles are calorieless on Sundays. C'mon everybody knows that.
...........................................................................................................................
Tis true, I'm absolutely pulling a "I'll start tomorrow" type game-plan, but for whatever reason, I really feel I need a few days (9 to be exact) to do nothing and not feel guilty. It could be the -30C(!!) outside my window, or the fact that January has been a horrid month for me (aren't blog's deceiving? January has honestly been the worst month of my life thus far), but on February 1st, in 9 days, I'll be back at "Doing Life," but until then, I'm going to try and be horizontal as much as possible.

Kowabunga!
Dinner Last Night
Pizza! My goal was to “only eat a quarter,” which would have been 380 calories, totally reasonable, had I stuck to my goal. But obviously I have zero willpower when it comes to hot cheese, and thus I nearly ate half.
[However, I used to eat the entire thing in one sitting, (and then wonder why I was fat *shaking head*), so I still think I did well o.k.]
I...

I still remember sitting at my desk, day dreaming about everything and anything that wasn’t my life. To say I was in a rut wouldn’t begin to describe my situation.
I was unhappy, but an excellent faker [if I do say so myself] which meant that nobody knew, that beneath my smile, I wanted out.
Even you, Little Blog, probably had no idea that I was miserable to my core. I went...

So, You Wanna be a Blogger?
Oh man, this questions makes me all types of nervous to answer, because, well, who am I to give advice on blogging? Exactly, nobody. There are billions of personal blogs out there and hundreds of thousands of them have more followers, more readers, higher stats and more awesome, than my tiny corner of the Internet, but I keep getting this question, “how can I get more followers?” so, as always,...

Weight Loss Blog (
I swear! I swear! Despite the severe lack of posting about my weight, or food, or running (which seriously has *not* happened in forever), I still have my eye on the prize!
The prize naturally being One Twenty Five, of course.

File Under: Awesome Things About Losing Weight
ID Photos!
With the mark of my birthday last December, I was fortunate enough to finally (finally!) update my health card and driver’s licenses’ photos.
Ta-Da! My Driver’s License. The back one is the ‘before’ one, taken in 2003, at about 180ish pounds, I was on my way up, up, UP! there. On a side note, I’ve always been very grateful Ontario (that’s...
When I was younger I used to wish n’ pray n’ hope that I’d get sick. I wanted so badly to get sick to a) get time off school, and b) lose weight.
Oh how naive I was.
Ronnie and Michele’s High School reunion taught me wrong. Being sick sucks. It’s THE WORST. I just want to get better, and not feel like I’m on a boat every time I move.
I feel like the...
