STARTING A 365 DAY FAST TOMORROW

((((( BIG HUG )))))  Sorry the holiday was not a pleasant one.  I did not realize your mom had another stroke.  Praying things turn around for you and yours.

Hey Lynn

Girl I swear besides newbies, there is not one person I know who isn't strugging their ass off to maintain.

lol... Hang in there Lee.

Thanks echo man, it is gonna take a ot of will power, but I will do it.  Food don't even taste good, I GOT THIS....

 you are so damn SILLY!!!!! 

I got my ass back in the gym this morning - been on hiatus since my b day - so that was almost 2 weeks.  I was surprised at how my body was READY to get back to it.  Did my weights and a one mile run - 12:45min - not my personal best but not the 13+ min I used to run.  I was just bored and too lazy to keep going.  I will break in my garmin running watch this week fo sho!!! 

I'm going to register for a Mardi Gras Half Marathon on Feb 20 by the end of this week - that will give me 7 full weeks to train - I want to finish in under 3hrs.... I really want to hit 2 hrs, 45min, so GAME ON!!! 

And - oh yea - I'm STILL 215-220lbs! 

It is so true, your body responds really quicky after a time off, I think it is when I have the most muscle growth.

hope everything will work out for you, i spent the holidays with the fam but had to endure props and sneers both, this weight loss journey is no joke, but i glad i took a chance, keep kicking butt!(not with just shakes though)
