    My goal is to increase my mileage by 10% each week. The week before last I jogged 10 miles, last week 11, and this week 12. So far I have gone 6 miles this week so 12 looks totally in sight. I have a few aches and pains and my left knee wanted to give up during my run today, but I powered through. It is so much easier to plan meals and stay inside of calorie goals when you exercise. I don't even eat back all my exercise calories all the time, but I usually dip into them some. Yesterday was a rest day and I did not have extra cals to play with and I really felt the pinch, so next time instead of doing nothing I will at least walk so I have a couple hundred calories as a buffer. Meanwhile, I am preparing for a 5K in 6 more weeks. If I had to run it today it would take me a whole hour.....lol but I have 6 weeks to build endurance and speed. If I can finish within 45 min I will be elated.

    Have a great day everyone!

    You are doing AMAZING. Seriously you are inspirational. You got me back into the pool and I bought a doorway pull up bar. I'm going to be ready for the aerial class if it kills me. Keep it up we are all rooting for you!!!

    So, I have not been able to increase mileage like I want to because of work, but I am still running consistently. I ran 15 miles last week and 16 the week before that. I ran over 4 miles last Saturday. My 5K is this weekend so I am not running a lot this week, that 4 miler left me with a sore foot and I want to make sure that is healed before Saturday. I am so ready but not sure if I can finish in 45 min - I did run one 16 mile minute but I don't think I will be in under 45. However, it shouldn't be much more than 49 minutes and that gives me a place to build from.

    In the last 30 days, I have lost 2 inches from my waist, 1 inch from my hips and 1 inch from my thigh. So happy about getting smaller and tighter.

    :) Take care!

    Thought I would post a little progress report - All 3 goals achieved. I have now started lifting weights with my husband at the gym and its going well. Of course I couldn't walk, get in/out of the car, get into bed etc etc for the first few days, but now I really enjoy it and am loving the mental part of it too. Weight loss is still steady having lost 8lbs since the last weigh in and 29 in total. Hope everyone else is still doing well - I'm now going to think of three more goals!!! :)
