I enjoy pump classes. I do one class a week. It's a change from my usual running and walking routine. I found it left me wanting more when I first did it....I like my cardio! But now I use it as a recovery day after a long run and it fits in really well. It's more interesting to me than a weights session, mainly because…

Weight loss has slowed quite a bit over the last few weeks, but I'm moving more and feeling so so so so much better. Focus on 5lbs at a time. Celebrate your…
