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!

Picnic with me, myself, and I. Only get a half hour but totally worth the 2 minute drive to the park! Also, file my lunch under: Cuban food. Pork, black beans and rice, and yucca.

So excited about all this. Steak, asparagus, avocados, peppers, onions, portobello mushrooms.. Sooo good! Also this was my first attempt making asparagus on the stove. It actually worked out well! I just wish I could figure out how to make them a little softer without burning them…

Trying new things. Avocados. Tried it plain and it was gross, but my mom suggested a little bit of salt and white vinegar and it wasn’t so bad! Also, I used my little slicer thing to make yellow squash and zucchini spaghetti! All delicious!

Dinner. Ground beef, banana, sweet potato and leftover spaghetti squash. I’ve gotta say, the coconut butter I bought (Maranatha brand), not a fan. It has a weird after taste. I like my 365 coconut oil better for taste. I don’t know if its the brand or what, but after this jar I may be sticking to coconut oil.

Trying new things! Made spaghetti squash, and used my spiral cutter on a zucchini, and made it with cut tomatoes and artichokes! Oh and ground turkey! So good! My sister who dislikes all things healthy loved it and kept sneaking bites!

Dinner and my run splits (don’t mind the gray box I accidentally hit buttons after my run)!

Dinner: Chicken breast, a banana, a tomato, and green beans!

My splits! DO YOU SEE THAT? Under 11 minute mile on the last mile! 

Ahhhhhh I love progress. And when I listen to myself when I make goals. I just wanted to see myself run faster, and push harder, and I did :)

I was ever so hungry. Had this (sweet potato with coconut butter, tilapia, and asparagus) plus a fruit smoothie because I have not eaten nearly enough as what I was supposed to. Sorry I keep sharing pictures of my food but it was just too delicious NOT to share! Also, note that my legs are getting tan!! :D

I might’ve been eating with my eyes with all this stuff I made.. Fruit smoothie and a 5 egg frittata type thing with ground beef and lots of veggies. After the incline and not having eaten that much today I don’t really feel that bad if I do manage to finish it…

This eating better thing isn’t tooooo bad. Green beans, salmon, and tomatoes. Might make a salad if I’m still hungry after this. Surprised I’m doing so well with this.

I feel like that guy in that stupid commercial about him wanting to marry bacon. Because this is how I feel about this pork chop. I was making this pork chop for tomorrow’s lunch but it was too perfect to refrigerate. Had to eat it. So so so amazing.

I really need more variety with my salads. I need to like more raw vegetables. It’s just they all taste like grass… It’s only day 2. So far so good. Tonight will be a test because I’m gonna be going to Jack Quinn’s and mmm beer but no beer for me.

This was my breakfast. So delicious. Trying this whole.. Whole 30 business. There I said it. Didn’t want to make a big deal about it. Effyeahliz inspired me to give it a shot. Plus, trying this will help me eat more vegetables since I epically fail that regularly…
