Born to Run
I am not a big reader. I love reading magazines that I am interested in, but I am not a big book reader. I would like to read more though, so when I received a gift certificate to a book store I decided to pick up this book that I had been hearing a lot about called Born to Run.

This morning I weighed in at 246 which means I have lost 2.9 pounds in the past week and 28.8 pounds since August. According to skinnyr.com my BMI is now 36.33.

So in case you didn’t notice I took a little break over the Christmas holiday. During this break I decided to not weigh in and I kept saying that this was my gift to myself. We also did not get to the gym at all, which I also attributed to me taking it easy, I was on vacation for crying out loud. As the break continued though I began to feel more and more guilty, then Michelle...
