Thanks! To be fair, 8 lbs. 7 oz. of it was baby but the last 20 lbs. in particular have been no joke."You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad Judge

Hey, take what you can get. 20 pounds is 20 pounds.Originally posted by Mrs. Funk View PostThanks! To be fair, 8 lbs. 7 oz. of it was baby but the last 20 lbs. in particular have been no joke.
Look at it this way - that's 350 Krispy Kreme doughnuts that you passed on. That ain't easy!!!

I took couple of days off last week and my milage for the week was
M- 6.5
T- 12.5
W- 11.2
Th -11.3
F - 10.5
S - 9.4
Su - 3.6
For the first time in a long time I finally wore out the dog - when we got home Wedensday he just flopped down and didn't move for a couple of hours.
Normally he runs laps around the back yard when we get done.
This week I'm back to normal - between 6-7 miles per day, I'll probably be out on the road in an hour or so.
I may be small, but I'm slow.

Thank you. It is no coincidence that my board persona mellowed out about the same time I had surgery. Day of surgery I weighed in at 271.2, my last visit with the surgeon in June I weighed in at 221.2 and my blood pressure, sleep apnia and acid reflux are all but gone.!Originally posted by bluegoose View PostCongrats AC and Mrs. Funk. That is really, really impressive for both of you.Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Not my personal acheivment, but I thought this was pretty cool. Hopefully these act as great examples for the general population.

I just completed week 5 day 3 of c25k. 20 minutes straight of jogging. I don't think I've run that long since a freshman at BYU 20 years ago...Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Are you planning on a 5k?"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Yep. I promised myself that I did the 20 minutes without stopping tonight I'd sign up a 5k next weekend. I'm also going to run in the Susan G. Komen race for the cure in August with my two girls alongside.Originally posted by Moliere View PostCongrats AC! That's awesome!

You've tapped into what, for me at least, is the strongest fitness motivator: a specific event that compels one to get in shape. I operate best under looming deadlines, and an organized run, ride or other event is great to maintain focus and prevent backsliding. Good luck with the run.Originally posted by atheistcougar View PostI did it. I registered for my first 5k this Saturday evening.
