Easily. You are already active and do run (unless you’re walking those 2-3 miles? But even then that’s a good start). Find a plan (I use Hal Hidgon and I know he has a 15K training plan) and follow it. 15 minutes miles are a brisk walk so I wouldn’t be worried about the cut off time. Even if your walk/run it you would most…

Hit a new personal best for my pace on today’s 3 mile run! I’m on day 2 of level 3 if 30 Day Shred. I like level three a lot more than level 2 so hopefully the next 8 days of it go well. Been back on track with my diet for the past couple days so I’m feeling good today.

First day of level 3! It’s hard but I like it so much more than level 2

Weekly Weigh-In 12/31 - 147.5 01/07 - 146.2 01/14 - 145.1 01/21 - 144.4 It’s snowing here today and the tiny gym in my apartment complex is completely packed with people who I guess didn’t want to drive to their legit gyms (I’m usually the only person there when I go) so my run has been postponed to tomorrow. Still got 30…

I’ve had personal trainers in the past. My experience was actually kind of a nightmare. First one they gave me I just felt uncomfortable with so I asked for a new one after a couple sessions. I really liked the second one but she didn’t really push me. She ended up leaving the gym I was at though so I got yet a third one.…

I had two days of stress binge eating and being kind of sluggish in my workouts so honestly I’m just thrilled not to have gained. I’m back on track now so…

I’ve been kind of MIA this week. It has not been a great week for me. I unexpectedly got called in for a job interview on Friday (I had applied for this job ages ago and forgotten about it) and stress ate on Thursday and Friday. I stuck with my workouts but felt like I was really sluggish, not giving it my all. I’m not…

I have a job interview tomorrow but none of my dressy clothes fit so I needed to go shopping today. Everything I ended up buying is a medium! I can’t remember the last time I felt so confident in a dressing room. Instead of just thinking “Oh this will do I guess” I genuinely love everything I bought and feel really…

Hi! I’m 5’ so definitely short! Working on losing 70 lbs. I’m about 45 down with with 25 left to go :) I’d love to connect with some fellow short people!

I don’t think my mom is trying to be demotivating but she has made comments that my goal weight is to low and I should up it by 10-15 lbs (I wouldn’t even be in a normal BMI) otherwise I won’t be able to maintain it. And she’s pushing for grandkids and keeps saying I don’t need to lose all the weight before getting…

Half way through level 2! I enjoy these workouts but it does get a bit dull doing the exact same one for 10 days in a row.

I’ve never done specifically C25K but I’ve done other running programs. I’ve found it important to be patient and stick to the program. Sometimes, I have a day that I’m feel really awesome and want to go further than I’m scheduled for but it always just seems to mess up the rest of my schedule. Oh and get good shoes! If…

I was actually pretty happy to get back on track after a week of visiting family and not really counting calories at all. I did have one binge night with pizza when we got home but the next morning just went right back to it. Lost the extra holiday weight in about a week. I used to always struggle getting back into a…

I know all of that. It’s not at all that I don’t want to hear it. Sometimes I just want to be frustrated and annoyed about slow progress which I think is totally valid. I didn’t say I was going to give up or do anything drastic/unhealthy to go faster. Just wanted to talk about my frustration a little. Not sure why anyone…

I don’t do Keto but my mom uses some sort of flavored sugar free syrup in her coffee and really likes it. I don’t know if that would give you headaches as well though...

There are a lot of cardio workout videos on YouTube. Almost all of them you can do in a small space. I like Fitness Blender and Pop Sugar Fitness.

Everyone has a bad day every once and awhile. The best you can do is move past it and get back on track.

Not really. You can build muscle while in a calorie deficit but it’s not easy. All your strength training will be great for maintaining your current muscle mass but it’s unlikely that if the scale hasn’t moved down as much as you want, it’s because you gained muscle.

Why quit? Even if you mess up a day or two each week, at least trying is going to get you further than not trying at all. Keep going and you’ll figure out how it make it all a part of your routine, quit and nothing will change. It’s not easy but it does get easier the longer you stick with it.

I have a pair of pants that are starting to fit a little large on me so I dug the one belt I own out of the back of my closet. Last time I tried to use this belt it didn’t fit at all but I thought maybe I’d be able to squeeze it on now. Well, not only did it fit but I had to use the fourth or fifth little hole to make it…

Yup. I push through soreness, not through pain. So if I’m just sore I do my run as scheduled. And usually I feel better afterwards, tired but better.
