Pounds lost: I lost 80lbs how long did it take: It took me roughly 2 years Location: I was born in St Louis, Missouri, moved around the country and (sadly) ended up back in St Louis!! Occupation: mommy FIRST, but I am currently holding many positions: child care center Nutrition Program Assistant, healthy Living blogger and Freelance Writer

Maria After:

What was the motivating factor that got you started on your weight loss journey? Was it one thing or a series of events? I had “planned” on losing weight for a long time. I was never truly obese, but always carried more weight than my 5 foot 4 inch frame should have. On February 7, 2001 everything changed because I gave birth to my first daughter. I knew the minute she was born that I had to make a total life change because I didn’t want her to go through the same struggles throughout her life as I had in mine.

What do you think was the one most important change you made? how did it help? Can you keep this up for life? I made two very important life changes. first I became a vegetarian. I noticed a change in how I felt almost immediately. I felt more awake, more energetic, not so sleepy and not so sluggish. I began to slowly notice a change in my body over time too because as a vegetarian your choices are more healthy to begin with (vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, etc) obviously you can still find indulgent and unhealthy vegetarian options, but your main staples consist of healthier options. I stopped eating at fast food places because there wasn’t anything I could eat as a vegetarian. I began to notice that even restaurant salads came with meat on them. My overall perception of food changed when I made the switch. I liked how it made me feel. then I began to exercise by walking at first then slowly moving into running and lifting weights and I knew my life was changed for the better!! The weight began to fall off and over the course of the two years I continued to make one healthy choice after another and pretty soon I didn’t have to think about them anymore. The healthy choices were all I even considered. I know that I can keep this up for the rest of my life because I have to. I am the female role model my (now 2) daughters look at and I want to be a healthy role model. I don’t want to seem obsessed so I walk a fine line, but they know that healthy choices are important and why. They know it’s not about vanity for me that it is all about being healthy and the best “me” I can be.

How did you change your eating habits? becoming a vegetarian is the biggest change I made, but I am from a very southern family and everything (even the vegetables) are fried or covered in gravy or cooked in butter. I began making smaller changes in that area as well. I would bring my own food to family functions or offer to bring a large vegetarian option as a side dish for everyone that would count as a meal for me. slowly my family and my husband’s family realized that this wasn’t a phase or some crazy diet and they got on board. I still bring my own food to functions, but there is always something there for me to eat that someone else has made and I feel good knowing that I’ve rubbed off (even if just a little) on my family in a healthy way.

How did you change your exercise habits? I was a couch potato!! I started out slow, walking the block or the high school track and then I would walk further distances. eventually I started jogging to the stop sign and then I would jog around the corner and so on. I ended up getting a job at a local health club working the spa desk and a free gym membership came as a perk. I would go into work early so that I could work out and then shower before clocking in. It was a great perk even if the pay was terrible!!

How do you plan to maintain these healthy habits? I sign up for races here and there with my husband. My daughter (9 years old) are running our first 10k in April to raise money for the ASPCA and I’m currently training to run my first half marathon. I no longer work at the health club so exercising in the winter becomes more challenging, but I have great work out DVD’s like 30 Day Shred, crunch Pilates and yoga that I can do early in the morning in my pajama’s before my family even wakes up. I will be happy when the cold is gone and the sun is shinning again because I do miss running outside with my ipod and my thoughts!

Do you have any tips for RER readers who want to lose weight? Take it slow. crash diets and pills and all these crazy things I see advertised aren’t going to help you in the long run. Make an appointment with yourself to do at least 30 minutes of some form of exercise 5 days a week. If I write it down in my planner then I’ve got that appointment scheduled and I cannot cancel on myself!! If I don’t value my time and my health then why should anyone else. As far as diet goes agree to make one healthy choice everyday for 6 days and reward yourself with one treat at the end of the week. then the next week agree to make two healthy choices and so on. eventually you won’t have to even think about making the healthy choice. You will want to make the healthy choice so as not to interfere with all your hard work!

Coming to Conclusions…

hey there hello! Sorry this post is late, but as long as it’s not my period we’re all good right?

This morning I woke up and realized there are only 60 days until Ben’s reunion and I needed to figure out reservations so we could potentially cancel the “just in case” reservations we already made.

This ended up taking over an hour so I made a decision to eat breakfast before doing some exercise. I made an egg sandwich with a veggie sausage on a sandwich thin. I am usually not a savory breakfast person, but this was good. I’m not in love with veggie sausage but get them every now and then so I don’t feel like I’m “missing out” on sausage.

I also made a big fruit salad ? I can’t wait until I can throw some watermelon in there!

Then I crossed my fingers that it wasn’t going to start raining and set out on a walk. I wanted to hit up the store for some yogurt. I’m very delighted that it didn’t rain on me as I forgot an umbrella and would have been SOL.

When I got back I made PB&J with carrots and brussel sprouts. Lunch of champions.

So after my “Reality of the Situation” post I took a step back to examine what I was ready to do to reach my goals.

I looked into lots of different dietary modifications, I emailed fellow bloggers for insight and I talked out loud to myself on long walks (at least no one tries to mug the crazy person, right?).

The irony of the situation is I often get asked by readers and friends about meal plans and losing weight. My answer is never the same for each person as I really think you need to make changes that relate to your own reasons for being overweight.

For me it’s:

Snacking

Eating while cooking

Overeating at meal times and/or eating Ben’s food

Going overboard with sweets/way too much fake sugar

Not eating enough protein

Waiting too long between meals/snacks so my hunger can’t be satisfied

So I have made a decision to work on these things that are stopping me from getting to my goal weight. I have also made a decision to keep a food journal for the next 60 days. I’m putting a time limit on it because I don’t want to write down everything for the rest of my life, but I do need to acknowledge all the food I eat (sometimes mindlessly and as a result “forgotten”).

I am not in any way anxious that this will activate any of my issues considering that I have read and re-read Intuitive eating enough to know how to observe my routines without beating myself up over it. For those of you familiar with the lingo, I stay in my “neutral adult” voice and not “critical parent” or “rebellious teen”. Still with me?

I am going to make a separate tab for updates on this so you don’t have to read about it if you don’t want to. I know lots of of my readers have a history of ED on some level and I in no way want to activate that.

Please realize I am an adult who is very aware of her goals, mental state and capabilities. I have made a decision to go about weight loss in a way that is best for me. only God can judge me now (meaning I don’t really need you to).

Question: Ben’s school is odd and does reunions annually (not every 10 like most). Does your school do that?

Something truly frightening occurred Yesterday…

When we last spoke I had just completed the surf City Marathon as well as was prepared for an legendary very bowl feast! But, before I unwinded I understood I ought to take an ice bath – as well as that’s where somebody very frightening occurred (and not just since the concept of me taking a bath is scary).

Straight from the race I hit up Ralphs smelling like a disgusting mess for ice as well as those Tostitos Rolls chips I’ve been waiting all week to eat.

Scary Runner story

I didn’t even get that much ice – in the past when Ben has purchased me ice for a bath he purchases two of those bags (because part of him liked to abuse me).

Anyway. I put the ice in the tub, filled it with chilly water as well as set the timer on my phone for 10 minutes. Then, I got in as well as certainly gasped since it’s wildly unpleasant.

The water wasn’t high sufficient to go all the method over my legs so it truly felt concentrated as well as unpleasant on my ankles for some reason.

Suddenly I started to feel nauseous as well as dizzy – like I was going to pass out. because I was house alone I chose I shouldn’t wait as well as see if I pass out in a bathtub of water as well as got out. I laid on my bed for a few minutes up until I felt much better as well as then just took a hot shower as well as called the ice bath cancelled.

But what the heck?! That’s so strange since I’ve taken ice baths before. Not sure why that happened, however yeah. I practically died as well as what truly pisses me off is I might have died before eating the Tostitos rolls which would have been the genuine disaster of the day.

Luckily, I survived as well as went to my parent’s home for a feast.

Note: nobody was house when I got there, so I actually made all this food solo as well as ate many of it solo too.

Since many of the food was gone when my sibling got there I heated up some teriyaki meatballs too. These are soooo good!

Also, there was a great deal of cereal consumed.

Question: What was the very best thing you ate yesterday?

Have you ever taken an ice bath?

I have 4 drawers of running gear broken down into: tops, capris/shorts, sports bras / socks, and warmer gear. All this after I made myself throw away a ton of it!

I went to Costco to fill my BC prescription (sorry to everyone on mini-Monican watch) and the samples were poppin’! I had a piece of pizza, Pop Corners, veggie patty and a freshly made chocolate chip waffle. So good.

Then, I grabbed my one true love and went home…

Lunch was a bucket o’ salad with veggies, boca burger, TJ’s peanut dressing and mixed nuts. I don’t know why I purchase mixed nuts when I just want the cashews.

Lunch dessert / Lessert – Apple chips

I have really been having a hard time staying on track with my snacking. But, Ben thought I purchased this cake just to make for a snack yesterday! Geez.

It’s really for my Easter Bunny Cake! I’m thrilled to eat the batter. Heck yeah, I eat raw eggs. live dangerously people, we all gotta go sometime.

Today’s Ask a Monican includes a question from a reader asked on behalf of her busy sweetheart and another question about my first kiss.

It was for the best, but if you have relationship questions for an unqualified blogger to answer – send ‘em over!

2. My running shorts ride up and I feel like I’m flashing the world. Help!

What to eat AFTER You Run

Wine and Dine half Marathon Race Photos

Before the race, leaving the hotel at 4am…

I managed to blink in 89% of my race photos. I’m waving and smiling in most of them, but have my eyes completely closed. Fail!

Race fail That’s never happened to Me Before

My other big RACE fail that…

A. I forgot to mention in the video and

B. has never happened to me before?!

= My race bib ripped and was flapping around everywhere.

One of the top holes in the bib ripped and I felt it flying in the wind. I was afraid more of it would rip and I’d lose it all together. So, for most of the race I had to keep trying to tuck it under my running belt to hold it down. That didn’t work very well and was distracting and annoying.

I considered stopping and asking a spectator to re-pin it by just making a new hole (there’s no way I could do it – my hands were FREEZING and I couldn’t even grab the fuel inside my belt because my fingers were frozen).

You can see in this race photo that it’s completely dark out. I think it was in animal Kingdom.

This is the part of the race that’s on the Boardwalk in the latter half of the race. It still looks a little sunrise-y and not completely bright.

Once we were running in Epcot and in the last few miles of the race I got scared that I missed all the character stops. I had been waiting for the sun to come up and to see a character I recognized. I spotted Jafar from Aladdin (I think between mile 11 and 12) and he had NO LINE. So, I ran up to take a quick picture.

Wine and Dine half Marathon finish Line

Wine and Dine half Marathon Race finish time: 1:54

After the race the photo ops were fairly open and didn’t have long lines yet so I stopped at the mirror to get a photo.

After the race I rushed back to the hotel to get warm and eat breakfast.

That night we hit up Epcot for the wine and Dine post Race Party. So many runners were wearing their medals and ready to celebrate. This race is held during the Food and wine festival so there are even more delicious food and drink options than usual around the world Showcase. We ate and drank all the things and went on rides. It was so much fun and I must’ve been running on adrenaline after a 3am wake-up call but it was a blast.

I posted a lot on Instagram while there and after so follow @RunEatRepeat on Instagram for those fun updates!
