About the Name Change

On January 23, 2020 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

Ok, so you may have noticed a slight change in the name of this humble blog. When I first started this blog it was meant as a way for me to talk about everything I went through during my weight loss, tell a couple self-deprecating jokes, and stretch my creative muscles. I wanted a title …

Re-framing the Food Narrative

On July 23, 2019 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

When I first decided that I needed to lose weight, I thought that I could outwork a bad diet. I figured if I went all out in the gym, I could still eat the same way that I always had but still do enough work to lose what I wanted to lose and everything would …

Why Do I Mudder?

On June 27, 2019 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

So I got an email from Tough Mudder asking “Why do I Mudder?” It’s a question that I have answered throughout multiple posts but I never really gave one unified answer as to why I run through all of this. And I submitted it but also cut out some of the story because I was …

Finding Your Reason

On June 20, 2019 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

Inspiration comes from the most unlikely of places. It can come from reading a new book, having a conversation with a trusted friend, or listening to a song that stokes the fire of your very soul. Then are the times when you take a class at your friend’s gym where the trainer keeps yelling YOU …

The Global Running Day Post

On June 6, 2019June 6, 2019 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

Running forced me to go outside my comfort zone and push past my perceived limits. I used to have trouble running a full mile without wanting to curl into a ball and die.

“You Don’t Look Like a Runner”

On May 14, 2019May 14, 2019 By therecoveringfatkid2 Comments

WOOOOHOOO I REMEMBERED MY PASSWORD!   *Ahem* sorry about that. In all honesty, I’ve had a bit of writer’s block recently, trying to figure out what direction I wanted to take these posts moving forward. There’s only so many miles, pun fully intended, I can milk from my training and ridiculous running stories. Though one …

Summer Slowdown and To Podcast or Not to Podcast?

On August 16, 2018August 16, 2018 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

I know! It's shocking, I'm actually posting twice in one week, it's weird for me too but this is the world we live in now. I figured the best way to deal with the stagnation, nagging hip strain, my seemingly new inability to say no to mac n cheese in any form is to write …

Whole30 Dreams are Weird

On January 12, 2018January 12, 2018 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

Generally speaking, I don't remember my dreams. I know the general story structure, the feelings I felt during the dream, and some hazy details. But nothing ever really sticks with me for long after I wake up. It's how my mind processes the dreams I guess. So when this particular dream rolled around and I …

The Awkward Moment When Your Body Betrays You

On December 11, 2017 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

The first 4 days of December go off without a hitch. I did not hit the over 5K target pace but I was out there everyday and improving that distance each day. It had been awhile since I tried to run each and every day so getting back into the swing of things proved to be a challenge.

The 200 Barrier and the (Wrong) Reasons I Told Myself It Was a Pipe-Dream

On October 25, 2017 By therecoveringfatkidLeave a comment

This time last year, if you said I was on the door step of being under 200 pounds, I probably would have laughed in your face and said "at least one of us believes in me."  It was this mythical promise land that I never considered I'd reach again because I had accepted the big guy lifestyle.
