I agree. Start slowly and build really slowly. I did the "Running your Butt Off" program and just finished my first 5K last weekend. It took me about three months of training, but it is soooooooo worth it!!

I have about 10 days a year that are "feast days!" Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter . . . . . you get the gist. On these days, I allow myself whatever I want to eat. I execise a little more around these days, and I don't declare every Sunday a "feast day" (which is how I got fat to start with!) but life is…

Okay, I'll make you a deal. How about no weighing until the Saturday before Thanksgiving? I am running my first 5K on that day and though I am in training, working out and eating right, and no drinkin at all, that evil little machine is messin' with my head!!! So I think I will take it to my neighbor's house until the day…

Let's try this again! I'd like to sign up for Group A - 15 miles. As of 11/1/11 - 5.2 miles Thanks for doing this. I really need all the encouragement I can get!

Boy, yesterday stunk! I was planning to run after my doctor's appt, but once he finished messing with my eyes, I was not in the mood. By the time I was in the mood, it was dark! However, today is a bright new day and I was up at 5:00, at the gym by 6:30 and had over 45 minutes in before work at 8:00! So I'm sure I'll be…

I think what works best for me is to plan my "feasts." I read somewhere long ago that if you eat what you are supposed to 80% of the time you can eat what you want the other 20%. So I allow myself two meals a week that I can have virtually anything I want (within reason!) Having those two meals a week to look forward to…

See if this works.
