    Great Morning All!!

    I just weighed myself and have already reached my six week goal of 240lbs! Originally my goal was 244 but I dropped a bit of water weight at the beggining and lowered my goal to 240. My next goal is to be 235 by my birthday on Aug 20th!

    Woot! *does happy dance*

    Thank you all for being such an inspiration and for being motivating. I couldn't have done this without you.

    Take care,
    Tammy

    Cathy, Happy Birthday to you today! Mine is next week and the only thing good about getting older for runners is new age groups except mine doesn't put me in one this year!

    Tammy, How wonderful that you met your goal already! keep up the good work...you are an ispiration to us all!

    Robin, you mentioned Podrunner in a prior post. That's one my sister told me about and I use it on occasion just since I get tired of hearing my same old music all the time. I can usually really get into a beat with it.

    I keep losing and gaining about the same 2-3 lbs all the time. I am up one day, down the next, etc but seem to still be 'stuck'. I"m running lots just like a few others on this group and did a great 10 miler this morning but I know that lots of exercise means you also have to keep refueled to keep going. Its a tough balance. Being within 5 lbs of goal I"m not quite ready to starve myself to get there and am working to maintain and hoping that slowly...gradually...I'll make it. Was hoping this 6 weeks would be it but not sure that's gonna happen!

    Its a nice cool day in Indianapolis today. Hope everyone else is enjoying their Sunday!

    Ooooh, Lauryn, sounds like you have a fun day planned!

    Martha, right now I'm using Suz's podcast for C25K. Although I did like the sample from podrunner. I just like words more, lol... I understand about gaining and losing the same pounds over and over, I've been hovering at this same weight since January. Admittedly, I haven't been 100% committed that whole time, I'd probably have lost more if I'd been more so.

    Rhiannon, hope your race went well... That was this weekend, wasn't it?

    Hope Kristin is having a good vacation.

    Hellos to Tamm, Tammy, Tiff, AmyLou, and all the others I've missed...

    Got up this morning and did the week 2 day 1 of C25K. It went well. Getting ready to do one of my yoga videos, I noticed my knees were tight this morning, so I know I need to start stretching better. I've read that you burn up to 3 times more fat if you exercise first thing in the morning, before you eat. What do you all think about that. About the only thing I notice is that I'm a bit slower. When I go for C25K in the afternoon, I am about 3 minutes faster than when I go on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Anyways, off to do my yoga, then shower. Or maybe yoga, then eat, then shower. Hmmmmm, have a good day everyone!
