Losing weight, one mile at a time
So yesterday I did something crazy. Like, real crazy. WAY crazier than my decision to register for the Dumbo Double Dare, which I thought was just pure MADNESS at the time (and now just doesn't seem so scary after all). Yesterday, I got completely … [Continue reading]
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I sure did, because two pretty awesome blog-type things happened: 1.) I was accepted as a Sweat Pink ambassador! It's "where tough and girly come together at last" -- so proud to be part of such an incredible … [Continue reading]
It's beginning to look a lot like spring -- although at a chilly 45 degrees today, it certainly doesn't feel like it! -- so I thought I'd post about some of my spring races! My toe (HOPEFULLY) seems to be on the mend...even though I stupidly … [Continue reading]
Hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend, if you celebrate! I spent the better part of my weekend in Atlantic City with my sister on an impromptu girls' weekend, eating and drinking WAY too much...which I then continued when I made about six … [Continue reading]
If you took a look through my kitchen and bathroom cabinets, you would find tons of not-so-well organized health and fitness products, from snacks to supplements. I'm one to try pretty much anything, and in my quest to be as healthy as I possibly can … [Continue reading]
For more than three years now, I have been keeping a secret. I have a blog. While those of you who follow me on Twitter -- my main forum for publicizing the goings-on here at "The Final Forty" -- may be scratching your heads right now, allow me to … [Continue reading]
In addition to consuming all sorts of green goodies yesterday -- and, unfortunately, I don't mean spinach and celery -- I tackled a new race distance: the 10-miler. I ran the St. Paddy's Day 10-miler hosted by the Freehold Area Running Club. Once … [Continue reading]
It's hard for me to believe that it was just a few short weeks ago that I was terrified of not being able to finish a half marathon. And yet last weekend I ran a 20K (which, come on, is pretty much a half marathon!), and yesterday I registered not … [Continue reading]
Yesterday I took on my first 20K, and I did it for time -- unlike my first half marathon in Disney World last month. It was a race organized by a local music teacher and runner that benefits music education in schools, and I thought that was a great … [Continue reading]
Ever since I returned from my Disney Princess Half Marathon trip (recap part one here; recap part two here), I've been anxious to put my half marathon training to the test. As you may recall, I didn't exactly perform at my best in Walt Disney World … [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). A NJ-based freelance journalist, when I'm not writing about the latest health and fitness trends, I'm actually living them! Visit my website at www.jenniferlnelson.com
