Me and the Scale

Today, I went back to my super de duper nutritionist, Ilana, for my two week follow-up. Last night, I weighed my clothes that I planned on wearing today.  Yes, I weighed my clothes.  I wanted to be able to explain to Ilana that I didn’t really gain any weight, but rather my clothes were super […]

Doubt

I struggle with myself more than I struggle with anyone else.  With less than eight weeks less until 70.3 Miami, I am desperately trying to restrain myself from my typical modus operandi of self-sabotage.  But the truth… I am starting to doubt this race.
