Hello! I'm Kelli. I'm 47 and want to get back on my health journey after the holidays. First goal is to lose the 6 lbs I gained back during the holidays. Also be better with my water intake. I do 2 martial arts classes a week (about 60 to 90 minutes long) and plan to add 1 more day of exercise at home.

Hello, my name.is Eileen, and I'm trying to get back on the weight-loss journey. I currently run about 3 times a week, and want to incorporate more exercise into my daily routine. Looking to lose 5 lbs in January by watching what I eat, and how much I eat. I have a 5k planned for February, and would like to do another 10k.3

I used to run 3 miles daily, but that was before 2 foot breaks (2015 and 2016), round of breast cancer/radiation in 2016, 2 leg breaks (2017 and 2022), neck surgery 2020, and hysterectomy 2021. Geesh, the 50s have done a number on my body! I'm s.l.o.w.l.y getting back into running. Each week I'll add 1 minute to the run portion of my walk (3 runs per week). So the last week of 2023 I'll be at 52 solid run minutes. I tend to push too hard and pull a muscle so keep me honest and don't let me progress too fast!1 -

Finally remembered to bookmark this discussion so I'm not searching for it for 30 minutes. Did 2 martial arts classes this week...and I'm so sore! I usually have choir rehearsal on Wednesday evenings, but there wasn't one due to the holidays so I decided to do an extra martial arts class. 🙃 Went to the grocery store and bought some healthy stuff...steel cut oats, low carb tortillas, etc. Thank goodness for all of thr coupons for the healthy foods at this time of the year!1 -
