Go Becky Go

I'm Becky, 23 year old Florida native living in Colorado. Marathon runner trying to get back into running, I also do capoeira on occasion and like to go on adventures sometimes. I'm a certified EMT (but still trying to get a job as one). I like to lift, and am currently working on "getting back on the wagon" for weight loss. I originally started this blog and lost 25 pounds and kept it off for a long time, then life happened and I'm up higher than my original starting weight.. I am pretty ambitious and am signed up for some races this year to boost my motivation, including a half that goes up a 14er, and a 50k in the mountains.

This is not a weight loss blog, it's my blog and I talk about whatever I want including weight loss and food and boys and running and drinking and lots of pictures of myself. I have little to no filter when it comes to the things I say, I am kinda opinionated, so sometimes I'm awkward, but I'm pretty awesome.

Height: 5'1"
HW: 174 lbs
LW: 142 lbs (Sept/2011)
CW: 172.4 lbs (3/11/13)
Goal: to run fast and be healthy.

I love talking to new people, so if you have any questions just ask!

Who I Follow

Nsv time? Maybe?

So I went to a party at my former roommate’s house. I show up, and one of the first people I see outside is this kid Josh who was my last RA when I lived on campus that was really cool until he got a girlfriend and stopped being social (they’ve broken up since).

So I see Josh, after not seeing him since probably last year. He sees me, and he says “Oh my God Becky you’ve gotten so skinny you look beautiful!”

And then he proceeded to flirt with me every time he saw me throughout the party. It felt nice. Though I totally could tell it was all due to my weight. That was.. Different. I’ve never had that issue before.

Anyway, the comment made me happy. When I told my OTHER former roommate about it he was like, “well, Josh is right you’ve gotten super skinny!”

Guys, this is kinda a big deal to me. I’ve never been called skinny outside of the occasional comment on Tumblr. And I’m not even skinny. I’m just smaller. So yeah. :D
