Wow - thanks for the bump!! It's nice to know I haven't been forgotten!
I've been thinking of all of you and have read some journals when I've had the chance.
Well, here's the update. I'll start with the good.
I have started running. I did my 6km charity run, which led to another, which led to me running 5km 3 times a week! Until this spring, I've only been able to do interval training (walk/run/walk/run), so this is VERY new to me. I have good and bad days, but I haven't stopped. It's so invigorating!!! I'm going to load my MP3 player with some really great music, so that should only help more. In between my running days, I'm still doing pilates, weights and aerobics. I work out about 6 days a week, sometimes 5, sometimes 7. It depends on the week. On weekends, I generally just go on long walks with dh.
Now for the food update. Welll, it's just so-so.
You'd think with all the running I've been doing, that I would have lost some weight, but no such luck as of yet! I am still about 10-15lbs heavier than I was on Dec. 31st, but I'm not gaining anymore. (Incidentally, most of the weight gain is from my January vacation that I haven't been able to lose yet). I'm quite good with my eating during the week, but too many social events on the weekends. I'm still trying to train my taste buds to prefer apples to cheesecake!
So, basically I'm maintaining. I'd like to lose that pesky 10lbs again, because I bought some shorts and jeans that aren't fitting anymore. Argh! I'm quite active during the summer so I'm hoping that will help. I just need to get my weekend eating under control.
So that's my update for now. I hope all of you are having a great summer so far. I'll try to check in more and read some of your journals. I miss all of my WISH friends!!!
