And so is the humidity! Ran today, my long run/walk (3.18 mi.). Went out at 6:00am, pre-dawn. So humid. I don't know what this summer will bring. It's time to buy a water pouch to carry along with me now while exercising. If not to drink, I can always pour it over my head to help cool down. Still working at 25 sec. run/35 sec. walk per minute. I have NOT gotten on a scale this week. Seven months till race time. Is it crunch time? I think it is time for me to really get serious about what I'm eating. I've got to remind myself what is important to me and why I decided to take this exercise challenge and continue to work towards my goal. I'm not having problems with the exercise part. I'm going to work on my mind. Thinking before I eat, staying away from sweets, sugar, desserts, and limiting my bread/carb intake. I will eat more fruits and vegetables! This has got to work. Stay positive. If you like what you're reading and would like to fo...

Basically, this is a journal record of my progress with some points of interest thrown in along the way. Some of what I post may not make that much sense to the reader. Today's update: weight loss: maintaining the same Today's run/walk: a total of 3.23 miles; my first long run. Still at 20sec run/40sec walk intervals. increased cycles by 16. I was going about 84, today I managed 68! I'm amazed how far you can push your limits and how the mind can work with you, or against you. I just kept pushing myself today. Feet hurt along the outsides while walking in beginning, running stops that. My left shin hurt afterwards. Iced it down. Weather was cloudy, 74 degrees and a bit humid. I'm not looking forward to August here. I am excitedly waiting for the Run Disney race registration to open! To follow along and read my previous post, go here .

A good training session this morning. Weather outside: 62 degrees. No weight loss. Distance: 2.31 miles. Currently walking a mile, running a mile (training). I'm now doing 10sec, run/50sec walk per minute, although I am really doing about 15 sec of running. Next week I think I will increase training to 20sec run/40sec walk per minute. Little improvements at a time. Bought some new workout clothes. Found some good deals in clearance at JCPenny on-line. Getting my mindset in the proper frame too. Watching some Run Disney videos on YouTube for motivation. Check back for more...... To view my previous post, go here .

*Weight loss update: down 2 pounds *Got myself new running shoes-Definitely makes a difference. Great heel support and great cushioning. Glad I made the purchase. *Current routine: Trying to walk/train 3x's a week. On 2 days, I do 2 miles with the Jeff Galloway's "run/walk/run" method. The other day I do a long walk (3 miles). I am surprised how the body does adjust to running so quickly. I did not think I could run at my current weight, but I can! Slowly making progress. *The Noom app: I can't recommend it. Not as personal guidance as they describe. Costs too much. Didn't learn anything that I didn't already know. Too complicated to track foods eaten. I've decided to continue to track using Weight Watcher's . I really need to track what I eat to be accountable. Run Disney's marathon for next January begins registration in April. I cannot believe it. So I have to commit very soon. I'm ready; mentally that is- the ...
