Well I figured it was time, especially with summer coming. I gained 15 pounds over the winter and the clothes are a little too tight for my liking. I was 155 last summer and wan't happy with it, boy would I love to be back there again. It is like starting all over again. I never realized that I was taking in so many calories, this really helps a person become more aware. I have signed up for a 10km run on Father's Day so I need to really get started with exercising and eating properly. A friend and I did one a week ago and we were second last, we finished, but wow, it was tough. This one is going to be better.
