Losing weight, one mile at a time
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I know I'm the WORST at keeping up with posting my weekly workouts, but here it goes again. First things first...I may or may not have accidentally signed up for the runDisney Glass Slipper Challenge in February … [Continue reading]
First, I want to apologize for being MIA for the past few days, and thank you all for your kind words and support with regards to the news I shared in my previous post. I really do appreciate all of your well wishes and words of encouragement, and … [Continue reading]
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! The weather kind of sucked here in NJ (except for Monday), but I did get to spend some time in Atlantic City and catch a Third Eye Blind concert...I've been obsessed with them since middle school, and … [Continue reading]

I'm Jen, thanks for checking out my blog! After a lifetime of struggling with my weight, I managed to lose 90 pounds in 2007... and, for the first time in my life, actually kept them off. In my efforts to lose "the final 40," I became a runner and martial artist (Taekwondo and Muay Thai).
