At the beginning of January I was ...Good For YOU!!! At the beginning of January I was on a team for a local Community Health Challenge for 12 weeks. With some cash available to the winning teams, there was a definate incentive to motiviate for this. I lost 16 lbs-granted, I know I could have done better now when I look back, but I remind myself, had I not joined the challenge, I'd still be carrying thouse 16 lbs around. Since it was over, I've lost a couple more pounds. My next goal is to complete a 5k around the beginning of June and then another one at the end of summer/early fall and knock 10% off of my first time when I complete it. Which means I need to get in the habit of running during my walks-which will take me at least the next 30 days to get comfortable with wanting to run in a public setting! eek! Keep it up!!! :) You can do it!!! Can't wait to see what your next healthy habit will be!Samantha Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199297842321568505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675743311501999181.post-85385245956896349662012-04-16T10:02:58.183-05:002012-04-16T10:02:58.183-05:00Great job!! and three pounds from just walking is ...Great job!! and three pounds from just walking is great!

I wouldn't replace it ...I would give up sugar. I wouldn't replace it with artificial sweetener either. I mean totally give it up. I always mean to but so far I have not.<br /><br />My BFF - I can say that since we have been friends since we were 16 and we are now, God help us, 47! Anyway, after I spent a night at the hospital with her when we thought she was having a heart attack she decided to exercise (walk). She is using an app on her phone to track her time, milage, etc... It posts to FB daily so she is "helped along". I think it is called RunKeeper.<br /><br />I should do this. I have walked half marathons in past. Just not in the past 4 years.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983019041469120523noreply@blogger.com
