In celebration of my 10-year anniversary, I completed my second Ironman last month. I've maintained my goal weight by finding activities that I enjoy and simply going outside and playing with my friends. What was once exercise turned into a lifestyle and it all started with a couch to 5k program where I could barely run a minute.
When I was first starting out, members of this board inspired me to imagine the possibilities. I thank them for the inspiration to believe that we can do anything and become anything we want to be, even an Ironman.

Body Pump is a class I take at my local Y. It is a hour long class. It is working all body muscles with low weights but using high reps!

May I ask what body pump is. sounds interesting.
Monday- I did an open water swim in Lake Ontario. The waves were crazy. I drank so much water it was gross
Tuesday. 60 minute easy run. I have so excited for the next 3 weeks I am running the run group. It is suppose to be a learn to run but if the same regular girls come out than I can make it harder. Looking forward to doing this

I forgot that I'm starting lifting weights this coming Saturday, last week I posted that I was starting that week. But I'm starting this week. The plan was to give myself a week to get adjusted to running and school before adding in lifting.
Monday - nothing planned, will be weight day in the future
Tuesday - running, stretching
Wednesday - pilates class
Thursday - running, stretching
Friday - piyo class, tai chi class, pilates class

Running last week went good. I've restarted a 5k training plan and my shoulder hasn't given me any grief. Yay!

Hi Scaredofbeingdifferent,
If you want to lose weight easily, iHCG injection is a good option.
HCG stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, the hormone produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. Research suggests a small, daily HCG Injection (approx. 125 IU to 200 IU) may result in a weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs per day, and often more. This program must be accompanied by the VLCD (very low calorie diet, of apprx. 500 calories/day).
Visit www.ihcginjections.com if you want to know more.
Cheers!
Happy Labor Day Weekend:
Happy to be back to a routine!

Just seeing the progress that everyone here has accomplished has made me so joyous. I'm so happy to know that at some point in you guys lives that you've felt the same way as me.
I think I'm learning that I don't have to be an Olympian. I just need to set my own pace. I'm doing it.
So thanks again, I really appreciate it.
Thank you for that idea. Never would have thought of the pool! It's been walking and chair exercises for the week so far.
I am truly gracious for all the responses that I've gotten. Thanks alot you guys!
