OMG! Group workout was tremendous! I wasn't sure I was going to finish, on my 4Th turn I thought there's no way I can do one more which would make 2.5 miles. The whole turn, I kept saying over and over again "I can do this, I can did this!" and eventually I finished the 4Th turn and was able to make the 5Th turn to finish the 2.5 miles!
The best thing about the workout was, I burned 995 calories! Holy Moly that's lot, it made it worth every pain and ache I feel at this moment!
Meals went well today, I made good choices!
I'm off to shower and bed.

Day 16
Today I feel beat up, I barely managed to go for my workout but I did! Things hurt today, my knees and my feet. It's the first day I've had to ice them down, hopefully that will help.
I was sluggish all day, not sure what that was about. Maybe it was because I was achy all day. The workout seem to help some, but I'm still pretty achy, hence the ice.
Meals have been good, I haven't really struggled with my meals, yet. I think, I'm working too hard with my workouts that I keep making healthy choices.
Today was OK!

Week 3
Balance: ['ba-len(t)s]
1: a means of judging or deciding
2: mental and emotional steadiness
3: a counterbalancing weight, force, or influence
4: weight or force of one side in excess of another
Start: 365
Starting Week: 3
Lost: -4
Total Lost: -14
Current: 351
Total miles: 20.9
This weeks miles: 9.3
Extras: 30 mins. pool + 30 mins. cardio
4 more.... Yay Meee!
Gosh, I can't believe that I started week three today!
This past week, I thought a lot of how to balance me new life style with my life! This week's challenge was ensuring, I made time for working out and eating healthy. It was a busier work week which left me a bit stressed. How am I going to do everything I need to do! In the past, I would always have work take precedence over anything else!
I haven't figured out the answer yet, all I know is right now is about staying in the game (as Bob from BL would say) and my new way of life and that is what I have to focus on. I'm sure that in time, balancing my work and this new path will be copacetic.
I can't thank you all enough and can't express how much this is helping me. There have certainly been times that working out was a struggle to start and at those moments I think of all of you which kicks my you know what into gear!
Still feeling strong and still feeling fantastic!
Another Great Week!

Day 14: DAY OFF
I loved my day off but what I find a bit scary is that I feel like something is missing could it really be.... am I really missing the exercise? What is happening to me? Ok...Ok...maybe not the actual exercise but definitely the feel I get after I do it!
I just feel fantastic!
So, food wise I made good choices, always keeping in mind all the work I put into the week!
It was a great Day!

Day 12 and Day 13
Day 12
Sorry, I had technical difficulties last night and was to tired to figure out what the problem was.
Anyhow, yesterday was good!
Meals went well, I'm finding that I'm adjusting to the reduced portions and the frequency of my meals. Smaller meals, but more often which is a challenge for me. I'm use to skipping meals and then getting into trouble. Since, I'm, starting out eating a good healthy breakfast my body certainly tells me when it's time to eat again. I'm just paying attention to me.
Group exercise was also yesterday, it was a really good workout. I felt like I worked hard and yet didn't feel like I was going to die. That made me really excited because I'm feeling stronger!
Another Good Day!
Day 13
Today was good!
I made great choices today! Meals were good healthy ones.
It was one of days I thought of not doing my workout, but I knew that wasn't an option. First off, I didn't want to let myself down because it was part of my weeks goal to workout 6 days and I know the more I workout the closer I get to Running that 5K! Not to mention, all of you. Thanks, for having my back!
Tomorrow's my day off! I'm looking forward to it, just resting my body so I can be stronger for the week to come.
Another Good DAY! and Another day closer to my goal!

Day 11
Today, I feel really good!
I decided to change things up a bit and instead of going for my walk/run, I went for a swim. It felt great, a bit cold but great!
Meals went great today, I'm already feeling a difference in the quantities I need to eat. It's pretty remarkable that it's happen so fast. Sticking to portioning everything I eat, counting all my calories, drinking my water, trusting my new state of mind and doing my exercise, of course.

Day 10
Hi All!
I'm exhausted....it's all catching up to me, so thank god my workout was with my group tonight. It certainly helps to push me do my best!
My meals went well in the morning and at lunch, I am finding it a bit hard to deal with dinner on Tues. and Thurs. I workout at 7pm with the group and I really don't like to eat dinner before I workout but then when I'm done it's really too late to eat. I haven't quite figured out what to do.
Any suggestion?
All and all another good day!
Off to shower and bed!
Goodnight and be well!
