34 pounds, 2 pants sizes, and some almost push-ups later...

I still plan on writing more on this in the future but here is my update as of today. I lost 34 pounds, that's 2 pant sizes, this past year by doing some very simple things. I walked...a LOT. Actually the walking got so easy for me that I started running and am now planning on running a 5K. It helped that my son walked with me every day after work for the whole summer...and even in winter when he is home we head out.

To learn to run a 5K I downloaded the Couch to 5K APP for my phone:

And I started weight training:

I didn't really diet though. I hate diets. I just ate more plants (now that is pretty much all I eat)...and drank less wine to be truthful. The best part is I sleep much better...and I don't have heartburn anymore.

Great job! C25K is a great training program! If you find you want to go farther after you complete the program, look for the bridge to 10K program ;) wish you the best with your improved fitness!

You go girl! So happy for you. I'm 66 and have been doing CrossFit 3 days a week for over 2 years. I need to add more cardio to my regimen and appreciate hearing about this app. So happy you are taking care of you. We need you to be around a long, long time to design and inspire us with your phenomenal patterns and work. Keep up the good work.
