My Rating:Today was the BIG day, my 1st ever Marathon, 26.2 glorious miles of fun (and PAIN), at the Space Coast Marathon in Cocoa, FL over by the Kennedy Space Center, as this entire Marathon was Space Themed. I was ill-prepared, and definitely not qualified to be running a marathon, as I haven’t really done any training, but I still committed to running it today. The longest I’ve run this year was over at the Peachtree 10k back in July, which is only 6.2 miles… That means today, I would have ran 20 MORE miles than my LONGEST run. Ouch. […]

Day 62, Meal 149
My Rating:I’ve arrived in Cocoa, FL and just got back from the Space Coast Marathon Expo to grab my race shirt and bib, and took a quick selfie in front of the Astronaut prop: I almost NEVER wear a new race shirt, as I have learned when it comes do running, do NOTHING new on race day. I had to try it on though: I almost never wear long-sleeve shirts, as I live in FL, but it’s a nice addition to the race shirt collection. I also checked out the bling and merch for one of my upcoming races next […]
Day 60, Meal 146
My Rating:Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today is a day I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time! I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving, as it’s a great time to feast around the ones we love. Every year my father-in-law does ALL the cooking, so I get to sit back, relax and enjoy. While I’ll still be calorie counting with Lose It!, I will certainly be having a bunch of delicious food. I plan what I’ll be eating in advance, a strategy I like to use to try and prevent myself from over-indulging. I start off with a modest plate: After finishing this delicious plate, […]
Day 56, Meal 140
My Rating:It’s time for The Last Supper. 8 Weeks have flew by, and it’s now time for Meal/Visit # 140. After visiting 36 different Olive Gardens across 5 states, I decided to have the final meal at the International Drive – Orlando location, which was the original Olive Garden from 1982 (rebuilt about a mile down the road). The last time I was here was on National Pasta Day. It’s a really nice Olive Garden, and if you are in the area, I would highly recommend this location. The GM, Darrell Sullivan, is one of the best, and the only […]
Day 54, Meal 132
My Rating:It’s time for meal 2 of 3 today, on the last day of the “Ready for Spaghetti” theme, and I’m choosing Spaghetti, Asiago Garlic Alfredo/Traditional Meat Sauce & Meatballs [Half]: Yet another 10/10 meal. We are having a nice little streak going on! This is the first time an entire theme has gotten 10/10. This is meal # 8 across 3 days, and ALL have been perfect 10 rated meals! Amazing. As mentioned earlier, the article from Spencer Jakab, “Forget Atkins! Forget Paleo! What You Need Is the Olive Garden Diet” made the front page of the Wall Street […]
