Finally checking in!

Hello everyone! It's 11:30 p.m. and I'm finally able to get on the computer for some me time! Congratulations to everyone on your success! That's amazing!! I hope I can join in your celebrations later! I've been fluctuating between having lost 10-11 pounds... for two weeks now. I guess I'm lucky I haven't gained anything back, but I gotta jump start the weight loss again. Tomorrow I'm working out with a friend after work so that should be a good start. I signed up for a 5K on May 3rd. I did one about 3 weeks ago and I really enjoyed it. It really helped me stay motivated. I hope to run it more this time than walk it. I have to say that FIT TV and me get along well! That has helped me get so many workouts in quick and easy.

So stress has played a major factor in how I got here today... the last 3 years of my life have been physically and emotionally draining. My body was in fight or flight mode all the time. Things have finally seemed to calm around me and I can focus on myself again. Sounds selfish, but you gotta do it sometimes! But I'm looking to buy a house at the moment as well as finish up a class so I'm hoping I can keep from stressing out over the next few weeks. A/w, I'm so glad that we can support each other here. Good luck with everything this week!

Hi Layla,
Good luck with the 5k! One of my goals is to run a full 5k...soon (no date). One of my former roommates got me into running (she does marathons. I cheer for her.) and I think what I really like about races is the t-shirt (ha).

I've signed up to do a 20 mile charity walk with friends the same weekend as your 5k! Good luck!
