Kudos to you for even getting on the treadmill!

Absolutely! I have never done (and will never do) a half marathon but I ran a 10k in May and then…..stopped running. I went back out yesterday and managed a run/walk 4.5k in a staggeringly rubbishy 40 minutes. But I went, and I burned up 450 calories I would not otherwise have burned. So I will clamber slowly back onto the wagon, one foot trailing on the ground. And keep reading you for the encouragement, of course

Keep up the hard work. It takes a lot of effort to make sure to eat healthy and work out. If it were easy we would all be skinny, toned and beautiful.

Running 2 hours is seems out of reach, but it is not impossible. I was there already once. It took me over 8 months of running 2-3 times a week, slowly increasing the time. You loose it very quickly though, when you neglect it for a while.

But to be honest, for a normal person, who doesn’t want to do a marathon, 40-60 minutes is absolutely enough to keep one fit and healthy, so do not worry, and know that you’re on the right track to get there :)

I impress my dog … especially when I feed her treats… does that count?

Hey I know what you mean. I’m the kind of person that loses a lot of what I’ve gained working out. I take a break for a week and say goodbye to my strength.

You kick butt, PastaQueen. I couldn’t run two feet.

Sometimes I think older people know when we need to hear an encouraging word!

Keep up with it :) Just remember the days when walking up a flight of stairs would kill ya…. and keep the memories of the marathon alive, so you can remember that you really CAN do it!

Take care, anji

Just read your book and wanted to say: thanks!

What for? Being yourself and being real and not (no pun intended) sugar coating things. Here’s to continued success to you (in weight and *non weight* aspects of life).

This is a big issue for me too — instead of focusing on the positive, I compare what I’m doing now to what I used to do and feel lazy and inadequate. That judging voice is not our friend. What it really wants is for us to give up and go back to the couch.
