Those extra pounds around my middle, or anywhere for that fact. They simply do NOT budge. I mean, I made it out of college without gaining the "freshman 15." I am sure I gained a little bit more once I moved to OC instead of my ritual workouts with Rissa at the Y and teaching dance/tumbling for 4 nights a week. I became a little more sluggish at OC, but I started running with Corlie and things were looking up.... Well, now I am married and it seems that my pounds have made a home on me, and invited a few of their friends. Why? Why are they so hospitable?
Well, this week I am doing something about it. Not just this week, but hopefully it'll be a good change! I got some new running shoes, and they are toners like the MBT shoes and Reebok Easy tones. You can't see the toners, so maybe it'll be my little kept secret (that I just shared with you). I wore them to the fair last night, and while walking around for 4 hours and I totally left the fair feeling the extra workout I had thanks to these shoes.
So, tonight it starts! I am planning on running the loop around our house (which is close to a mile) and then walking it, or doing a workout DVD and walking the loop with Chase and the dogs. Please hold me accountable. I've reached my brink, and it's time to change!

Good for you! I have pounds that like to creep up on me as well. When I'd had enough I did this marathon training program and got up to running over 30 miles a week with 10 mile long runs. Didn't lose a pound. (but I was in great shape, which I loved) What has worked for me is watching what I eat. I never realized how the calories add up. Hopefully you will be able to find something that works for you because it's no fun to be bigger than you like.

I know. I gained 20. 20 ridiculous pounds. The whole thing was just absurd. I joined Jenny Craig to relearn portion control. That was my problem. Be thankful that you haven't gained that much and didn't wait near as long as me to fix the problem. I'm back down to 128 and have 3 pounds to go. Good luck on your weight loss, although, i don't believe you have very much to lose. Well, it's off to the gym for CJ and I!
