The Susan Komen 5k Walk!!!

This was the start line. 85,000 people showed up at the Phoenix Capitol to support the cause! It was awesome! Me posing by a glass Superior court Bldg. I bought these white pants XL from target FOR this walk and they ended up being too big after moving around a bit! I was soooo surprised!

A cute dog named Lulu we came across!


Awww the supporters!!!

Me & my girl Kelley at the very end! All sweaty and feeling great!!!

A picture of me w/ the finish line behind me. We finished in about an hour and fifteen minutes. We got distracted about 5x to do pics w/ bldgs and then once to help an older lady cancer survivor who fell and cut her leg open. That probably took about 10 mins to wait for the medic w/ her! Sooo sucky for her to go through that on a big day for her!
The walk was motivating. Then we got some free food and drinks, walked a half a mile back to Kelley's car then drove over to Kelley's to hang out. We walked a total of 4.5 miles today! It was great! Then we sat in her backyard playing balls w/ her 2 labs and it was a blast! I loved no kid, adult hang time! She's an awesome chick I'm just getting to know but I can see us doing a lot of fun (non partying) kind of stuff together. We are making plans to go bowling when I get back to Ark b/c I've never been before! I'm stoked for that.
xoxo,
Liz
P.s. Weight front: I got back down to 247 and we'll see how it goes from here. I'm eating well, in fact, maybe even too little. I did treat myself to a Coke Slushie at the gas station after we finished the walk. It soooo delish! I hope the carbination didn't bother the band, I thought since it was all frozen and slushi-fied it might be ok. It didn't give me any problems. Still not exercising much but Kelley and I are talking about getting together more often to do like hiking, bowling, and skating. Just good ol' fashioned physical fun stuff. So if I just add some cardio throughout the week to do that I'd be in a much better place. I plan on walking while in Arkansas w/ my bff if it's not too cold. I just want to make sure I get activity each day I'm there instead of sitting on my butt in my car from town to town to town to see family!

    Awesome, so great Liz!!!

    And I have to say I was looking at the photos and the 5th down I was looking at it thinking, what a cute girl. She has glasses just like Liz's. She must be Liz's younger cousin.

    I seriously took 10 seconds to realize it was you. Not only is your face looking thinner but you are totally looking younger!

    I am not kidding. You look great!

    Doesnt it feel so good when you are doing the walk for a cause? I think it makes it even better and makes us realize how lucky we are...and hopefully makes us appreciate our health!

    Good job!

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
