Hi Julie, I have been reading your blog for a year or so now and find it very inspiring--your persistence & dedication are amazing! I am wondering how you manage your interest in and love of baking with your sugar issues? Do you eat what you bake? I have a similar conflict and would love to know how you do it. Thanks!
I don't have a problem with eating my bakery items as long as it isn't PMS week. If there are sugary items in the home I have a very difficult time passing on them during this week or so. This can then lead to a full blown binge of sugary items-I really try not to bake during this week.
12 years ago in the haze of a hangover I read Oprah's Make The Connection. It changed my life. I lost the fat, I put down the booze, began eating in a healthy manner, began to walk, then run. Run On! I first began running marathons. Liked it so much I found some crazy ultra runners in MN who showed me the trail and ultramarathons. 39 marathons and 40+ ultra marathons later ( 15 100 mile ultramarathons in the past 5 years) I am sober, lean and happy. I am now inspiring others to run, as Oprah inspired me. Coaching beginning runners is a gift I like to give every day. It's not just about running..it's about all that comes with it: goal setting, empowerment, a belief in oneself, being true to oneself. 2007 brought 4 100 mile finishes, 2008 brought 4 100 mile finishes, a BQ and PR at TCM, a PR at the 100 mile trail distace at Javelina Jundred: 23:13. 2009 brought another PR at the 100 mile distance! Amazing. Lean Horse 100, a dream come true. What holds for 2010? WHO KNOWS?? NOT I!

Hi Charlotte,
