I know it's an odd time to start, but I' m loving it, and here in Cuernavaca it's perfect weather wise right now. The mornings are cool and always sunny. If I were in Minnesota I would definitely be looking fo...

Water lily I'm feeling a bit ill too after too many Esses this weekend! The beauty of no s is it motivates me to eat sanely during the week when I remember how this feels. :wink: Let's go for the green!

Congrats on the weight loss, I would love to see 169 again! It's been 5 years! I weighed 197 right before I left Minnesota a month ago. :oops: I know I've lost a little since then, but my scale here is totally unreliable.

I watched the whole series "The Skinny on Obesity" on youtube this morning. Quite an eye opener on why we're overweight, and out of control. Sugar is the big culprit. I think it will help me through the holidays. :idea:

Couch to 5K Challenge (C25K)

I'm starting a Couch to 5K program today. My inspiration comes from Milly (Milliem) who says that if she can do it anyone can! She's in her fifth or sixth week. Check it out online just google C25K. It starts out real easy with three 20 minute workouts/WEEK. Today I jogged 60 seconds then walked 90 ...

The closest park one could run in is about 3 miles away, but there's a shopping center about a 12 minute walk from here, that has a soccer court marked off in the unused part of their parking lot so the kids can play. I ran (and walked) around the edges of that. Day one was not too ...
