Rocking and Running
I have been doing the diet thing for over a year, more seriously for the last three months. Over all I have lost 45 pounds, 24 pounds in the last three months. Last week I started hitting the gym at lunch time again since it seems that the weight loss has slowed down and I needed to kick the metabolism up a bit. The first thing I did in the gym was run and I got out a half mile and didn't even have to push myself, it was easy. The combination of weighing less and exercise has made it pretty darn easy for me to run a half mile. Now that might not mean much for most, but for me at this point in my life is great. When I first started my running I wanted to quit after a quarter mile, and I had to push through to get out a whole block. Now let me say I am not going out and running any 5Ks soon, but it is nice to see progress. It makes me feel good.

You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWAY TO GO! 45 pounds is awesome, and 24 in the last 3 months! What have you been doing?
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the running. I have been trying a combination of job/walk on the treadmill. When I first started I thought I was going to die after a minute of jogging, but with less weight on me and a tiny bit of strength it makes a huge difference and I surprise my self how long I can go. I think you should be VERY proud of this!!
WK, I have killed my snacking. I think I ate 10 times more candy on Halloween than I did the rest of the three months. I don't eat anything after dinner. Watch my portions. Increased my exercise. I think I am going to start counting the calories a little closer now, and working out at lunch is increasing my exercise even more.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome B. You should be so proud!
