Good morning everyone! Glad to be part of this group! 30 lbs lost by my birthday (Feb) is my goal, so losing 20 by Christmas would put me right on track! My whole life, I was the girl who tried to GAIN weight because I had trouble with collapsing lungs due to being too thin. Fast forward to two kids, my late 30's and a desk job and I gained 50 lbs! I have since taken off 10 lbs but have another 30 to go to reach my sweet spot. Two days ago, I started the "17 Day Diet" and am having tremendous success--4.6 lbs lost already! I'm a little late on the exercise challenge, but I try to walk 30-40 mins most days. I've been carrying the extra weight for about 4 years now and I'm tired of complaining about it.0

I'm back in it this week. Last week I was sick most of the week so I took it easy. so for this week:
day 1 - 90 min walk very slow pace but I was pushing a double stroller so that added to the workout.0 -
I'm new to groups, so I couldn't figure out where you all were! Here you are!
Last week I got up 4x's in the morning to go jogging! I feel really proud about that, because as the Fall air sets in, it can be really tempting to stay in bed
This week:
Monday- PM jog- 2.3 Mi!
Tue- AM run- 1.56 mi
Wed-Rest
I also feel great about how much I have been trying to pace myself! I always push push too hard with the running, and then burn out/quit when I don't make the progress I want. I've really been trying to run 5x's a week now, and simply go a tiny bit further each time. I've been increasing by .10 mi each run, and so far I still feel great!
Woo!0 -
I had good intentions tonight and went to the gym to do a Zumba class. I found myself in the front of the class only to find out it was a GRIT Strength class. Well too embarrassed to leave, I just had to grin and bear it. The rest of the class were half my age. I should've twigged when I went it and saw all of the young bodies.
Anyways, I think going to a few classes is a good way to get the exercise in. I have also joined two additional cycling groups to get in more cycling through the week.
Having trouble sticking to my calories though. I can't say whether it is hunger or just habit.
Good luck to all:happy: :happy:0
