About Me

My photo
I am your typical 24 year old teacher and graduate student.I have the world by the (well, let's keep this P.G.) I have the world at my fingertips. But one thing that is not on my side, is my ZAFTIG figure. What is Zaftig you may ask? Zaftig(yiddish word): definition: Having a full, rounded figure; plump. So take this journey with me as I blog about my challenges, triumphs, healthy alternatives, working out and more!

Half Marathon time?

So, as I get back into blogging and dieting, I also decided that I will be training for another half marathon with my sister. I started running yesterday. Forgetting that I began my journey yesterday, I woke up this morning, unable to move my entire body.
  As sore as I am, it feels amazing. Knowing I started training for something so rigorous, lets me know that I am determined.
   Short and sweet today...

Ding dong...the wedding bells..

Wow...what has it been? a year...? Yep, the ZAFTIG FELL OFF THAT WAGON. But, it is time to take the train right back to my destination. This time, it is a direct ride to my wedding. The boyfriend proposed in March, and now it is almost August. People say, once you get engaged, you are so motivated to lose weight...well it is somewhat ironic. There has been celebration after celebration, making it almost impossible to lose weight!
   So what did I do? I went to a wedding store and tried on dresses. After seeing where I am now, I took pictures and decided that I want to be at a different place on my wedding day.
  So before I make my wedding vow, I vow to myself that I will get right back on track with my now wedding diet.
