Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! I figured I was going to be kind to myself and my goal in my first 5K is to complete the run! I can think about the time later!! Apparently they give you 3 hrs to complete the 5K so even the slowest runner can complete it. I am actually looking forward to it and the 5K is what is…

I did the GM diet for a week and lost 8 pounds - granted I had a LOT to lose but it was a great start to the weight loss. It does not restrict you from solid food (mostly) and you can eat unlimited fruits and veggies... maybe that can help?

I am getting good with exercising most every day though, and need something new to try in cardio. I have been doing some of the fitness blender videos as well. As BigT555 said, the rowers…

I have a similar goal as well - getting rid of all processed food in the house, less carbs in my diet, more fruits and veggies, making better choices and most of all - exercise every single day ( goal of at least 5 days a week with more outdoorsy activities on weekends).
