Say it. Commit. Launch.

I'm a runner.

No, I'm not a runner... but I run.

So, I am a runner... but I'm new.
I've always ran as exercise. But not for fun..
Am I making any sense?

I'm training for my first half marathon. I'm even going to register this time.

Progress.



Side Note:: If you know me, you know I'm all over the board, all the time. If you don't know me, you have probably already stopped reading because you think I'm a nut job.

Either way, works for me.

Back to my topic.

What I'm learning into my first week of training.

It's a complete mental process. Which is hard for me. As you read, I'm all over the board. So I go back and forth. Plus commitment is really hard for me.

I'm good with a mile run. Heck, even 3. Because my Fitbit challenges are the real deal y'all.

True story bro... Just as the regulars in our challenge.

So now, I know I'm training for something so much bigger than me. So much more than I've ever committed to before, I have to rewind and remember why I want to do this.

And this is why;

I need something to challenge me, every. single. day.

One of my biggest fears is that I cannot do it. I plan to prove myself wrong.

This is against myself, and myself alone.

I'm on week 11 of learning about my body.

I am on a journey of learning to enjoy my journey. Week 11 update: I'm loving it.

I'm tackling my annoyance of music selection.

I get to enjoy my hardcore rap with no judgment.

I have something to prove. No, not to you, to me.

I want to finally finish something hard.

I want to finally finish something I said I would.

I want to be stronger.


I've found the best workout to help your breathing technique for a runner. At least... it's working for me. Try rowing.

2 things we want. Lose weight & Eat.

I've been thin- size 5/6 thin ( never a 0... never a 2... it's called, booty and thighs, deal with it ), I've been pregnant, 3 times, 2 babies. I've been over weight where type 1 diabetes was a threat. And I've been healthy. Healthy is were I sit now. I know I've blogged this before, but I know I have over weight readers who want to reach out, and don't. Please don't hear me as bragging. Hear me as understanding. Because my inner fat girl is trapped . So I get you. I. Get. YOU! When I was 15 was my 'thin' it's not even thin really. It's teenager, where you don't realize what's cool, what's lame. ( you just think you know, you don't.. I promise, you really don't ) Well, at least, that was me. I was never cool. I was never the 'in crowd'. And while it sucked in high school, I'm really good now.  Nothing 5 years of therapy couldn't fix... When I was 16 when was pregnant. I gained SEVENTY FIVE pou...

Plant base

Okay... Okay. Before I get into the details. Here's my disclaimer. We are not 'Vegan' we are not 'Vegetarians'. We are on a plant based 'diet' for 2 weeks. We're testing the waters. We've watched a few shows, we've read several stats, and we've done some of our own research, we've heard first hand testimonies. So, we're trying it out. Day 3 is almost complete. I haven't felt bloated. And I have slept SO well. As soon as this week hits, I will go without alcohol too. So that added in, I think is going to amp up weight loss too. I do know that alcohol sabotages my weight loss. So I will cut that out too. However, weight loss isn't the goal of trying out plant base dieting. The goal is health. I was to be healthy on the inside as well as looking healthy on the outside. I can't wait to share results as they come!

We're Better Together in Sweet 16'

Happy Foodie post! I'm always excited to talk about food. Anything from a sweet tooth, to snacks, to entire meals for the family. A lot of ideas for our meals come from my pinterest account which can be found here,  my pinterest  You can find them under  Our way of life  or  Delish . There are healthy recipes in both....and there are two boards because when I first created my Pinterest account, I didn't realize how important it would be when I really started focusing on living a healthier lifestyle. However, with that being said, cheat meals are acceptable. ONCE a week. And no, not the entire day... we're talking a meal . Don't deprive yourself. (there is no cheat meal however, for my folks on a 10 day cleanse-- my fellow challengers) Let's begin! The Scott's are All In in Sweet 16' Because we're Better Together! (Is our motto for the year!) This is just my 10 day cleanse portion. I'll tell you what, and why. And also why I minimiz...
