Thank you. I enjoyed your post. I've always been a slow runner. I occassionally see a post on facebook that says "A mile is still a mile regardless if it's 7 minutes or 14...." And my FAVORITE quote ever is from John Bingham "The Miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." I think of…

"The miracle isn't that I finished.....The Miracle is that I had the courage to start" John Bingham

Jello cake (poke cake). Use fat free jello and light cool whip.

Please add me. I've been seriously tracking for about 3 weeks, but my scale seems to not want to play! I even changed the batteries, but must need to buy a new one. I hope I see a nice surprise when I get the new one :)

You are HOT!!!!

Wow!!! That's my goal! I hit it years ago and regressed....but I know it's possible. You look fantastic!

Bad teeth or wear flip flops. I'm beginning to overlook the flip flop thing, but definately not with jeans......

It felt great to run 4.07 miles yesterday!!! Yay!! Too bad we got about 5 inches of snow last night and the wind is bone chilling!!! Hello Planet Fitness......

I will set my January goal for 64 miles. 4 miles/4x per week. I haven't run in several months. I might do more if I feel I'm up to it :) I signed up for the Indy Mini Marathon yesterday. Its in May so I'm looking forward to my training.

You can also add me if you would like. 4 months ago my cholesterol was 225. Last week I had it rechecked (after much more exercise, but not necessarily losing any weight) and it is down to 210. Not great, but the boost I needed to see that I CAN do it!

I put a sticker on my calandar at work each day I exercise. Like a little child, I enjoy seeing my stickers.......

I HAVE to exercise or I go over calories!!! Maybe thats a good thing, but I can't stay under if I don't.
