I'm trying to get back into running form. I'm NOT training for the marathon or any other race,(To do so has a 90% rate of getting me knocked up) just trying to feel a bit better about myself and lose some baby weight. (Okay, I've been snoring loud enough to wake myself up and know that losing a few pounds will let my grateful husband return to the bedroom. Do you people have to know everything?) I've also changed my diet to include more vegetables and fewer homemade breads and things. (To the Computer Guy-I'll still make stuff for you if you promise to immediately take it to the office and not leave it here for me to snack on...deal?)
That's all I wanted to say. I'm running again. I did 2 1/2 miles this morning on the treadmill. The treadmill is great, it won't let me slow down without throwing me into the wall. I need that kind of motivation. In fact, if the treadmill had been there to toss me around all along, I probably wouldn't need it today.
So, keep track with me and keep me honest. I need to lose 40 lbs. After one week of vegetarianism and abuse by electronic devices, I've lost a whole half a pound. At this rate, it should take a year and a half to get down to my goal weight. Just in time for another baby!
To Imelda-I need new running shoes, any suggestions?

I need to lose as much as I can before my wedding in October! I lost 42lb over the course of a year and then over the course of the last 8 months, have put about 20lb of that back on again.... :-/ Now, if an upcoming wedding can't keep me motivated...
By the way, you've been tagged!!
Running agian eh? Very Cool!!! I'll keep bugging you to make sure you stick with it.
23 of my last 25 shoes have been Asics. Seriuosly. I've branched out twice for yucks with mixed results. For years I've used the Asics GT 2000 or 1000 series shoe. they have been making these things for like 13 years with slight upgrades each year. I think they are on the 2130 and 1130 models right now. the 1000's are a little bit cheaper and decent deal for running shoes. 2 years ago i swtiched to the Asics ds-trainer shoes. The current model is the Ds-Trainer 13. I love these shoes. they are lighter than the other ones so you need to have half decent form cause the risk of injury is a little higher. if you have a running specialty store near you. go there and have them watch you run a bit. they should be able to give you some good ideas too.
You looked fabulous in January--have you gained it all since then? I have lost 53 pounds since I last saw you, but now I'm stuck!
Love, Suzanne
