    Hi, all - Ate clean yesterday and today (I'm assuming that "eating clean" means staying on plan). Did my C2K week 3 workout this morning. I have hope that this time it will be a permanent healthy change for me Thanks for all your valuable suggestions, and keep 'em coming!

    Awesome weather during my lunch run today. 80F, Sunny, slight breeze. Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful :laugh:

    Only 61 pushups today.

    *noexcuses145: Doing great! Keep it up! I never thought I'd be a runner, yet, here I am :smile:

    *alf: I didn't offer to start a new thread, just explained that the forum mechanics make that happen automatically :wink:

    *windsweptaway: Keep it up! It will come.

    *Beeps: I hated losing the sun when I lived up north! On waking up early. How about using that to your advantage and doing the work out in the morning?

    *Umpire: You can do it!

    *cms: Way to bring it on!

    *cwojo: Woot! Grats! I still remember the day I finally felt comfortable going to the pool with out a T-Shirt :happy:

    hew, I used to love running outdoors....yay for you!

    I won't do morning work-outs, for the time-being. Mornings are my favourite time with my kids....so, I enjoy breakfast with them and then the nanny comes and it's off to work! I'm okay with my lunch-time work-outs....it breaks up the day. Yes, it's a hassle to do make-up/hair TWICE a day, but, that's the way it's going to be until my young 'uns turn into annoying teenagers that won't get up in the mornings!!

    We are almost to the end of this thread and we just started it? Wow! I'm totally out of the loop!

    I was in Nevada from Sun-Fri (4am sat morning) last week working then back this week from Sun-Tues night working. I caught my husbands cold while I was there too.... Thanks for sharing hubby! :laugh:

    Started shakeology.... So far I have noticed that I'm not as tired. Normally I am so tired by 4pm that I sit-down and instantly fall asleep. After about 4 days I noticed I was tired, but enough to yawn and go away after about an hour or so.... A few days later I wasn't tired at all til it was bedtime. No I didn't feel like a had "all this energy" like some claim but that may be because I have an energy problem to begin with and so it made me feel normal....

    Hello hello!
    Had an awesome race walk today. It's tough on the ice/snow (kind of like slogging through sand), but it felt great! I've also been doing L3 of the 30DS.
    Great runs Hew! I've been inspired to work on my push ups. Gah.
    Too bad about the cold, tron and I hope you feel energized soon.

    I'd like to join - turned 49 12/11 (made it by the hair of my chin). Mom of 4 young kids (started late) and looking for friends for motivation.

    I think I've lost more than 1 pound but I got discouraged last week so I'm not going to weigh in until this Friday. I want to lose 20 (or more but shooting for 20 for now) so that I can keep up with the kids more.

    I'm doing a short check-in. I have 2 of my workouts in this week, M & W. We did upper body heavy lifting with free weights on Monday and today we worked on full body using the machines. On our "rest' periods we did core work. I have to say I enjoy the free weights much more than I do the machines. I really feel like I worked out then. I haven't been as hungry this week so I'm having to force myself to eat a lot of the times. I blame this on work being so hectic. Speaking of which I should get back to....Have a good week!
