Fat Cat to Fit Cat: A Mother's Journey

Fat Cat to Fit Cat: A Mother's Journey I'm a mom on a mission. Trying to take my 40s by storm... 1 day at a time.

Well.... this was highly disappointing. Though... it was also MUCH hotter than I had expected. My goal honestly was to finish in 55 minutes. Considering I got slowed down by a fire truck coming thru..... aaaand that at 2.5mi I considered a DNF.... I'll take it. Thanks holzer for setting out the plastic medals 🤣🤣 Got me some "bling" my first race post injury.

Let me tell you about the best event I've been part of: The Buck Fifty .

I've been runner 5, runner 10, runner 9, & a van driver.... and each experience has been spectacular! Not because of me... but because of the insightful race director, Dave. Amazing volunteers from agencies, businesses, and schools... including students from the local Drug Free Clubs of America. Supportive athletes everywhere... really, you couldn't ask for a better environment. If you're looking for something crazy to do.... this is the place!

This race has become important motivation for trying to get back on & stay on my fitness journey. Injuries suck. Starting back is scary. But motivated to get back on the road (not trail that's not for me lol). Can't wait to see what next year brings.

That moment when you're up like 3.5 lbs... but a little over 2lb of it is muscle. Body fat was also down so IDK where the rest is coming from. But... I'll take it. Not a lot happening in my world, but... making some good strides I suppose.

FIRST GOAL ACHIEVED!
I've not posted a lot because there's not been much to post. It's been busy season with musicals, girl scout cookies, and winterguard. But, for the past 6 weeks at work a few of us (known as The Fat Kids Club) have been on a weight loss competition of sorts. I'm not winning the competition, but I did achieve my 1st goal of getting out & staying out of the 300s. .... and 1 pair of pants have given up their rights to be worn.

Well that's a kick to the ego. Pre-covid I could do half marathons (very slowly). Now I'm back at square 1. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Y'all know me... I'm horrible at this food thing. But.... if you see me eating the same thing from Sam's club over & over.... look away! 🤣🤣 This makes a quick & easy meal. The chicken is pre-cooked, so warm it up if ya want. Toss it in the pasta salad if ya don't.

Still awaiting pictures to be posted, and Kyra to send me the ones she took.... but 53rd of 79 females of all ages & 82nd of 179 overall. I do know that if I hadn't walked & talked for a while & kept with my intervals I probably would have done a little better. Alas... I broke the 17 minute miles I've been struggling with.

Eventhough I've been taking some time off, I decided to do a thing today. It can't be marathon weekend without me doing...

Eventhough I've been taking some time off, I decided to do a thing today. It can't be marathon weekend without me doing something. So the 1 miler it is. Guess the time off did me good.... and having a spectacular race environment. Had I remembered my ear buds & fitbit I'm sure I'd done better & kept up intervals instead of talking 🤣🤣

Thankful for Ignite Runners Collective to keep me motivated..... but why the heck am I getting SLOWER?!?! This is annoying. I can't seem to get my flow back. This run I did steady intervals: 35/90 sec. The knee was a little unhappy. But... I felt pretty good (except when choking on a floating fuzzy). *sigh* starting to think I may need to give up my race goals. 😞
