Well I just started training for my very first 5k! I have been over weight all my life. I just recently did a 10 day cleanse and felt wonderful. I am training on a daily basis and feel great so far! I am trying my hardest this time to get healthy and feel good about myself again! Please keep me in your prayers!
Shelly, you are off in a positive direction. Keep us posted. Good luck to you. I will keep you in my prayers. Marly

Good for you! Keep up the good work! It's so worth it!
Did you sign up for a 5k yet? That's when the real motivation hits and you aren't as likely to quit the process. Plus it gives you a target to aim for.
Good for you! I always say I am going to do that. I have a co-worker that has been running now for almost 2yrs & I admire her so much for her dedication, she is now up to 1/2 marathons. Don't know that I want to run that much, but would love to get a 5k or 2 under my belt one day. I am motivated to get healthier & in shape too. I have recently injured my back & have 2 herniated discs & my sciatic nerve is compressed...but as soon as I am on track, I am determined to get in shape. I am too young to be in this condition! Best of luck to you!!! Keep us posted on your progress!
Good for you!!! I'm going on my first 10k this year! I am skipping the 5K but I needed the motivation to go big or go home! I'm in terrible shape right now but its still a few months away so I know if I just stick to it! So I encourage you to stick to it and when you reach a plateau just keep on keepin' on and don't give up because its just your body re-adjusting to training:) I give myself one rest day a week, run 3 days and do some other fitness 3 days a week (biking, weights or pilates) and I finish each workout with yoga. Exercising makes you feel 100% better even on "icky" days :) Best of luck to you!!
