C25K Training Group: October 16 to December 4, 2011
This will be the official thread for anyone starting the C25K program the week of October 16. If I counted right we should be finished with the program the week of December 4th! Go us!!!! I'm not a runner (and like I said before I'm not sure I want to be) but I want to see if I can do this at least once. I've been working…

Mini Goal Reached and NSV!
Today I reached my first mini-goal of 15 pounds by Thanksgiving! I wasn't putting too much pressure on myself because I don't like to use dates as milestones, but I did it! What is even more exciting is that I was traveling for work Monday-Friday of last week so it was hard to get accurate calorie counts since I had no…

Big Closet Purge Today!
I decided to go through my closet and my dresser drawers today and see 1) what I could fit back into and 2) what I could donate because it was too big and 3) what I could toss. I) I could fit into clothes that I bought 3 years ago for my sister's wedding! Some of them would still need some sort of body slimmer to make it…

10.5 pounds = 2 pants sizes!!!
JC Penny was having a big sale this weekend so I decided to go buy a few pairs of pants and jeans since mine are getting to big and I have two business trips coming up. I can stand to be a little sloppy running errands or working in the office but when I am at work events (especially going to meet with my new boss) I want…

10 pounds gone!!!
I've lost 10.5 pounds in just over 5 weeks (5 weeks and 2 days I think). I've been sick with a cold for the last week and didn't feel like working out, but I'm so pleased to hit this first milestone! I would like to lose another 5 pounds by Thanksgiving, but I'm not putting pressure on myself. I just need to keep the pace…

High Volume but Low(ish) Calorie?
I am an evening eater/snacker and I make a point to save a few hundred calores for a snack while I am watching tv. My go to snack is a bag of popcorn, but I'm getting tired of popcorn. :) I'm drawing a blank on what else I can have that has crunch, flavor and I can have a lot of it without doing major damage. Fruit and…

Such a wonderful weekend!
I went back to my college campus for Homecoming weekend for the first time in 10 years (eek I can't believe it has been that long!!!) and I marced with the alumni band at the football game and played in the hockey game. It was great to be back on campus and see old friends and I had so many NSV! I stayed within my calorie…

An entire weekend of NSV!!!
I went to visit my parents this weekend (they have always been supportive of my weight loss efforts so I wasn't too worried). We always eat out, but I knew that I could make better choices and Mom and Dad would be supportive. Mom could tell small changes in my face and body and we were so active this weekend (we went…

Looking for support/partners... C25K (starting week of Oct
I just downloaded the C25K app for my iPhone and will be starting it on Monday. I see there are several active groups that go through the process together and I would like to have a group so we can support each other. I am NOT a runner and to be honest I'm not sure I want to be. I would like to try this and run at least…

First NSV today
I've lost 5.5 pounds in my first two weeks which is AWESOME for me as I usually loose weight slowly. Today as I was getting ready for work I ripped the tag off of a new sweater I bought a few weeks ago and put on a pair of pants that I also bought a few weeks ago. THEY WERE TOO BIG!!!!! I was excited but also a little…

Help with creating a beginning weight lifting routine
I would love to have a trainer, but I'm saving my money for when my car goes kaput so while my health is important my cash reserve is more vital at the moment. I have joined a gym and I've spent the last week getting back into the habit of getting off the couch and DOING something. I have been doing cardio usually about…
