Shrinking Natalie

Meg (Sunandsand7 on the WW boards) recently emailed me and pointed out that I have been neglectful of this blog. I was in England on a two week vacation with my husband (I added a picture to the album of us!), and then had family in town, and then just had to deal with getting back into my normal schedule.

Rest assured, I have been a decent WWer. I still attend my weekly meetings, and I still track my food - albeit with Spark People now since its free. I just updated "My Progress" page today. I also continue to run. I am currently training to achieve a Personal Record (PR) in a 5k in October. I am running the Goblin Gallop 5k on October 26th - this was the very first I ever participated in last year. I ran it in just over 35 minutes. My goal is to run it this year in less than 25 minutes!

But as my maintenance continues to go well, I find myself pulling away more and more from having weight be such an central part of my life. Hence, I think, my lack of things to say on this blog. I will try to be better and post more frequently, but I am not sure how much I have to say anymore. I still have good days and bad. I still track. I still attend meetings. I still measure my portions. I just keep on keeping on.

If you are interested in keeping up with me, I am keeping a more broad topic blog now, and that can be found at:

I do talk about body image & running on there every now and then, as well as post my favorite recipes.

I really thank all of you for your support and interest. I will try to cross post the above mentioned entries on this blog, too, about once a week.
