Thanks, Aliem! What I want him to do is develop a plan that will benefit me physiologically as well as how I look. My medium to long-range goal is to be a competitive runner again...at 60 it will be for my age group not overall winner. I have a running plan for 3 days per week and then 4 to support that goal for the next 5…

I'm still hanging in there. Have 3.6 more lbs to go for the challenge and 11.2 to reach my goal weight, although I may amend my 135 down to 130 depending on how I look and feel.

Yay, actually 11.2 to go till 135. I may decide to go to 130...just depends how I look and feel at that point. For now, I'm sticking with the 11.2 as it sounds so much better than16.2. So, I have a new program, ladies and I may be adding another. Last week I decided to purchase a 20 week running program from an online…

Woo-hoo! I did it! Weighed myself this morning and I'm past the 30lb point with 30.8 total! Only 11.8 to go!

Becs: Good to hear from you and hope you get some more workouts in this week. I know it's your busiest season and it must be tough. Aliem: You do have some funky knees! Keep going on the food; you're doing so wonderful. Sunday workout: 30 minutes cardio dance, 11 minutes body resistance, and 20 minutes yoga. Forgot to…

Are there still openings?

I hear you! I finished Week 4 yesterday and right now can't imagine doing 20 minutes in a week, but I'm gonna go for it!

I'm joining you, Aliem with feeling tired. Coffee didn't help whatsoever, but I pushed through the feeling and completed my workout anyway. Did a 25 minute barre routine, 15 minute Body by You, 12 minute Fitness Marshall, and 20 minutes of yoga for 72 minutes total. Done! Weighed myself this morning but scale went in…

Aliem: you're rocking the weight loss! Wow! If it continues, you should be close to your goal in 2 weeks. I'm feeling good about my Charlotte weight coming off but on the other hand I've only lost 2 lbs so far this month. AM weight was 147.2. Hoping the next 2 weeks will see the scale move a little more. Also, just .2 till…

Completed my hour workout: 10 minutes of HIIT, 30 minutes of body resistance, and 20 minutes of yoga. Eating back on track. Have weigh-in tomorrow and hope I'm close to the 148 I was a week and a half ago.

Back in the swing of things today. Did my C25k, Week 4, Day 2 run/walk (32 minutes) this morning while hospice CNA and RN were at my house. Two rounds of 3 minute and 5 minute runs so I feel like I'm getting somewhere now. Not sure how I'm gonna manage next Friday's 20 minute run but I'll just stick with the program and…

I just got home from my evacuation due to Hurricane Matthew. Kept up with program while out of town but running on hills was difficult in North Carolina. This morning back in the Lowcountry I finished Week 4, Day 2.

Yay, I'm home with my mom and kitties! My yard man cleaned up all the trees and debris so I had no problems getting in my home. Already emptied my fridge and freezer. Just have to unpack now. I will get back in the swing of things tomorrow. Will read your entries and catch up! Aliem, those photos are fantastic! All your…

Just found out I now have power. Will be driving home tomorrow morning and should be back in house by the afternoon.

Quick update: Still no power at my house so can't take my mom back home yet. Staying on track with food has been a problem, but am getting in my hour of exercise.

Sorry I havent checked in before this. Safe and sound in Charlotte but busy. Took Wed off after drive up here but have exercised since. Its been difficult staying on track with food though. Trying, however. Talked to my neighbor about my house. Trees down in yard and on my roof but no real damage except for torn porch…

I'm in Week 3. Going strong so far.

Well, life has altered this afternoon. I'm evacuating tomorrow morning from SC and heading to Charlotte to my girlfriend's house. Should be interesting transporting my mom and setting up hospice for her. Just gotta go with it. I will try to stay in touch.

Yay, you did it! Should be fun, Becs! I just typed out this long response to everyone and it disappeared after I saved it. Gees! I'll try again later.

Thanks, Aliem. Hope it's the same with me!

Aliem: Hope you feel better soon! Take it easy and don't push too hard! Did 62 minutes today: 25 minutes of C25k, 27 minutes of FitnessBlender core and arms, and 10 minutes of yoga. Went to MD this afternoon for new scripts and came away with blood work order to check sugars. Have been terribly thirsty lately and I'm…

Becs, I hope you're okay! Wishing you the best! Glad you can get your 3rd class in for your freebie TRX. And enjoy your wonderful family this week. I have dinner out on Tuesday for my best friend's 60th and possible lunch on Saturday for my daughter's birthday. It does get tricky! I think it's a great idea to keep the…

So nice to have you join us, Kisha! And so glad your foot is healed and you can get back to what you love. I can't believe you've read all our posts! Unbelievable! I think we're all doing very well and it certainly helps to have the support of Becs and Aliem. Now we have you, too. Just 1 thing...we're actually in phase 3,…

I'm still motivated. I've lost 28.4 lbs so far with 13.6 to go. Fifteen on this challenge. Best to you on bouncing back!

Rest day. Did 1/2 hour of yoga and that's it for today. Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday!

Maybe partly so. However, OP also mentioned walking for portion of race and thought she could still outperform more runners than in 10k. Possibly lots of walkers in half from the previous year's race? Don't know. But anyone predicting to be in bottom 10% of 10k runners and then thinking she can do better in half is just…

Day 61 Rinde Got out of the house this morning for a couple of hours and it felt glorious! Went to local salon for trim- I'm trying to let my hair grow- but ended up with a definite cut. It looks good so I'm not too disappointed. Then went to Wal-Mart, a place I despise, but i finally decided to purchase a food scale so…

Aliem: I can't keep track of your party schedule. It's a whirlwind! I'd say you've done a great job to be where you are in spite of your adventures. Keep plugging away and get that calcium in you! You'll get there! I finished my 2nd week of Couch to 5k this am. Today was much cooler than Wed which made my effort seem so…

Just finished Week 2, Day 3. Much better jog/walk today than Wed in the heat. Now I feel ready to make that move up to 3 minutes next week.

And I thought my 5k time was much better than my 10k, but they both were exactly the same.
