Hi, I'm Petra and this is my weight loss/fitness blog.
I used to be on Weight Watchers from January 2011 to October 2012, dropping approximately 45 lbs. I've made the transition from unhealthy and unhappy to athlete and this is my journey to becoming a healthier, happier me. I frequently post about my exercise (mostly running, yoga and lifting), the foods I eat, recipes I liked and my daily struggles. You'll also find the occasional tree hugger post, (travel) photography or anything else I find worth remembering and collecting.
I follow most blogs back that follow me. However, I do stay away from blogs that promote EDs, unhealthy methods of weight loss or negative body image.
Feel free to say hi any time!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I just realized that I never posted the pictures from the Grete’s Great Gallop half-marathon. Some of them actually turned out nice enough.

My ponytail and I got swag at the beginning of the race.

My face is so serious though. Wonder what’s been on my mind.

Concentrate on your pace, find your rhythm. Also, I look pink/so pale compared to the dude in the bright shoes. Maybe I need to start tanning?


This one you get for the lolz because man, do I look angry!

Much better! A photographer! Smile! (God, my legs look awful.)

Post-race, high on PR.
In case you’re interested, the full race report is here.
Bonus Thor:

Could’ve sworn though there was another/younger guy running in a Thor costume.
