Still Got It!!!!

Went to the gym yesterday with my friend.  It was the first time that I ran after losing 26 more pounds. I have to say that it was amazing!!!!!

I had not really run very far since July, when I was 26 pounds heavier. At that time my feet, ankles and back we're bugging me.  Then when I started my new plan in August, and found that I did not have to exercise to lose those 26 pounds, I stopped the excessive exercising and went down to 1-2 days per week, allowing my body to heal.

So glad I did, because yesterday my intentions were to only run a little and walk most of a 5k.  I ended up running the whole thing in 43 minutes. My personal best time is 38 minutes. So I was pretty pleased to do that well the first time out!!!

Today I feel great. I am appropriately sore and have a lot of energy!!!  I will be walking for a half hour today.

Anyway I'm feeling great and so happy to be back on an exercise schedule!!!

How about you ~ are you working your plan????

Have a fit day!!!!!

Back to the gym!

The great thing about this new health plan is that I don't have to exercise to lose weight. I've lost 26 pounds without doing too much....However, coming from being overly active, with running, biking, walking, weights, rowing etc...this has been a struggle for me. Instead of the 5-6 days of my usual exercise time, I've cut down to 1-2 days per week.

Now I'm ready to get back to it!! I've scheduled some running events that I need to get in shape for. First up is the Jingle Bell 5k run in December. Then Shamrock 15k in March and 2 half marathons in May.

WOO HOO!!

I have not been running too much lately, I've been lifting weights and some cardio, mostly walking. Today, I'm going to the gym with my friend, and we are starting our 5k training. It will be interesting to see how different it feels to be 26 pounds down from the last time I ran. I bet I won't have the feet and ankle problems I had last summer!

So excited!!

Are you ready to get your weight off and become the fit person you want to be? If so, lets do this thing!!

ARE YOU WITH ME?

Have a fit day!!!!
