Losing weight, one mile at a time
Hey, all! I'm here with the next installment in my Disney Princess Half Marathon recap series: a look at the inaugural Disney Enchanted 10K.

Now that the Princess Half Marathon is just a few weeks away, I'm gearing up for the Glass Slipper Challenge by participating in a Princess-themed virtual blog hop -- and thought I'd share some details about the ChEAR Squad with you guys!

Hey guys, happy Friday! So I thought I'd end the week with something new and exciting: my first guest post!

Okay, as promised, here come the recaps from my adventures in running the 2014 Dopey Challenge! I'll begin with the expo, since that's always a highlight of any race-cation for me.

Okay, so my post on the expo may not be quite as warm and fuzzy as my previous recap of the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend Meet-Up. It was...an experience, to say the least. Immediately following the meet-up, I headed straight for the expo. Okay, wait, that’s a lie…first I grabbed a … [Read more...]
Hi, guys! So I know it has been quiet here for a few days, but I have a good reason, promise…as many of you know, I was in California to take on the inaugural Dumbo Double Dare at Disneyland, so I hope you’ll forgive me for not having a whole lot of time to update while I was away!

In honor of my first trip to Disneyland and the start of Dumbo Double Dare weekend being just ONE WEEK AWAY, and my excitement over making it in to the meet-up, I thought I'd write a fun little Disney-inspired post.

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
