    I'm a C25K flunkie, too. My running pace is so slow I actually cover more ground walking. That makes me sad, so I usually don't run too often.

    I typically make it about a week into the program and then give up. We will see if I can stick it out a little while longer. I need more cardio I think to help drop this weight faster.

    I want to maintain a decent amount of exercise.
    Continue trying to eat well on both calories and macros.
    Take better care of myself (mental stuff)
    Hopefully see my body fat % shrink!

    So, last day of July... What have I done?
    I have worked out 8 times in 31 days
    I have attempted to eat more protein, most days a fail, but some days I did extremely well
    I have almost completely turned around my mental health. I feel fantastic.
    I've lowered my body fat from 33% to 31%. (I really don't think those calculators are right)

    Overall I think July is a huge success!

    I'd say mine was a success too, I lifted weights 13 days, ran a few miles here and there (not as much as I'd probably hoped, but still more than I have been) and put on my shoes and went for a few walks, just to walk, which I haven't done in AGES.

    I dunno what my measurements or bodyfat look like but I guess I should do that.

    Sarah what do you think about your new medication? Do you think its made a big difference? It seems like since you started it you have been more generally happier, and your moods have been more even?

    I haven't been depressed once. I have been mad/ irritated but only once or twice instead of multiple times a day. I've been happier and (if my stomach wasn't hurting) more active because I wasn't angry/sad.

    Overall I am really happy I went in for help. Even if the medicine turns out to keep giving me stomach issues, I can stop it and rely on the methods taught to me in the cognitive therapy sessions. It won't be quite as nice as now, so I hope the new meds stop the stomach pains. :)
