A few years back I did great with this website and losing weight and so I'm back to do it again and this time maintain and keep it off. All I can…

Today is a bleh day
So today started out not good. My daughter (8 months old) woke me up at 5:50, so I got up and got dressed in my running gear because I figured she would go back down after a bottle and I could go out and run real quick. No such luck. She finally just went down and I feel like a failure. I know I still could have gone out…

squats with dumbells
I'm wondering how safe it is to do squats with dumbells. I want to start lifting heavy but I don't want to go to a gym and make a fool out of myself so staying at home it is. I plan on getting a bar and some weights but for now my dumbells will have to do. So what I need to know is, should I just keep my arms down by my…

ran/walked a 5k
In my neighborhood but I still did 3.3 miles today in 50 mins :) and that's with hills and everything! I just made myself do 2 days of week 2 and Weds I'm going to do week 3 day 2. Trying to mix it up so my body will get used to running more with all the different hills in my neighborhood. And I think Friday I will go to…

Week 2
I keep repeating it. My neighborhood has a lot of hills and I just feel like I can't do 3 mins non stop yet. Is that bad? Should I force myself to run the 3 mins even when I can barely make it through the 90 second runs right now?

I have started a group where we weigh in every Friday and will have daily/weekly challenges. :) if anyone wants to join its called Happiness for Holidays. I will also be attempting to make spreadsheets to show everyone their weight loss successes tho I doubt I will be any good at it. I hope you will join :) This will be…

I WILL!!!
I WILL GO FOR A RUN EVERY MWF and a weekend day if I can manage it. I'm tried of making excuses. On Wednesdays I have 1 1hour class so why should I run? and Mondays and Fridays I have no classes at all. I can spare an hour to drive to the park, run for 30, then drive back to the house and get my school work done then.…

Day 3
I just finished Day 3. I put JM on a very low volume.. just to the point where I could hear the changes when I'm on the ground, and turned on my pandora to full blast. I got through it and it was a lot easier. I didn't bust out crying and I only stopped once during the first jump ropes things... my poor calves! How was…

almost ready
I think I'm almost ready to start W3. Just did W2D3 today but I think I will redo it tomorrow and do W3D1 on Monday. Not sure yet tho.. I wasn't able to run for 5 days due to my crazy schedule at work and today just about killed me. Do you think I should redo W2 and do it more steadly before I start W3?
-
Week 2
Did W2D1 today and I didn't do too bad. It was tough at the end but for the most part I think I did pretty well. I am feeling pretty darn good today. Now to shower and go off to work. Going to do D2 on Sunday.

thinking about starting
But before I buy the book I was wondering if y'all could answer some questions for me. Do I need a gym membership? Can I use only dumbells? Just wondering because the gym memberships in my area are crazy expensive...
