Be Careful thou, 5k's are addicting....lol....Once you do one, you will keep going and going and going! Then you will have your eyes set on a Triathalon. Keep up the great work.

One pound at at time....One day at at time....T

Hi Coni, You are improving by leaps and bounds and have abundant courage. We all believe in you and will be here cheering you on. As we go through this process we are all learning that if we belive we can do something we can actually do it. Every new challange scares us, but doesn't stop us. Right? Good luck. Suzanne

Coniconstance:

I hope the mile goes well. I apologize for posting the patch. I am actually not schlepping a quick fix product as it is not a quick fix product. I am also not trying to gain from it as I only provide it at my cost to help others that it may help. I too am on the slim fast program and I must exercise and drink water. There are no miracle cures for weight loss other than exercise and eating healthy. This patch is an all natural patch that helps. however, since I have offended you and possibly others, I promise not share information regarding it any further. Please accept my apology and please understand that I was not trying to cause any harm. I will look for any of my postings (i have never done this before so it may take time) and remove any information from those postings.

Yes! Smaller goals are great. i have learned that I can accomplish more if I just don't overdo on the goal. It is so hard because I think I can just do anything. I pray that you will continue to do well.

I'm really proud of you, I'm trying to run some now too. I have been feeling the benefits of eneergy and tighter thighs. Focus on the benefits you want - Imagine yourself running towards them. Good luck and keep us posted!

Way to go Coni!! Yep, starting with smaller goals is best...when I first started walking...ohhh, how tired I got...and how little distance I traveled...I just walked around in my house...when I cleared the table, I circled it several times instead of just once...slowly I added more steps to my days....then I tried the Leslie Sansone dvd...walking would be easy (so I thought!)...well, at the one mile marker I thought I would die...where was that ambulance....didn't they know I needed help??? LOL But I didn't give up...I kept playing that dvd until I could walk that mile without problems....then I worked on the two mile walk...then the three...now I can walk 4-5 miles at a time without problems....who would have thought!!! You keep at it Coni, you are going to do just great! You are very motivated...forget the excuses...in your mind you know you are capable to reach whatever goals you put in place...I am proud of you...what a fantastic buddy!! Hugs, SisterC

Coni, I love your new attitude. That is the way to succeed. About 20 years ago we were doing construction and had a huge number of blocks to lay. The idea of it totally overwhelmed me. My husband told me it was just a bunch of little neighborhoods. When I thought about it I could see it was just a number of smaller walls and I was able to lay my blocks just fine and I enjoyed it, too. Since then whenever there is a project that is too big I always think of little neighborhoods. You have put you 5k into little nieghborhoods and that will make it work. Nothing has to be overwhelming if you break it down into neighborhoods. .

Wow Coni, I'm so proud of you! Despite your injury you are still out there going after your goal. I'm so impressed. Running has never been my 'thing', but maybe after I get my endurance built up just a bit more on the elliptical I will try it. I have a bad knee too, which makes me steer away from high impact exercise. Your tenacity motivates me so much! Keep up the GREAT work and attitude.... and keep on runnin'!!!

So as many of you know one of my goals is to run a 5k. Feeling quite ambitious a few weeks ago.. I was going to sign up for a 5k on December 5th. If you all remember my post.. training that first day didn't go so well. I suffered from an injury in my left foot ever since. I've still been working out.. walk/jogging.. but I haven't been pushing myself like I did that first day. I came to the conclusion.. I was seeing that 5k like I see "over a hundred pounds to lose." Such a LARGE number it seemed out of grasp. I was giving up before I started.

I broke my goals down smaller.. 600 yards first. I remember doing this as a kid in gym. I couldn't run ONCE around the track.. now I can jog a 600 yard run. My next goal was a 1/2 mile. I've been coming up with excuses.. injury still hurts, I'm getting sick.. no time. Well this morning 5:30 am.. got up early. I jogged my 1/2 mile!!! Under the moon and stars.. it was beautiful. In the next coming weeks... you'll soon see the 1 Mile post.. then the 1.5 mile post.. then 5k baby! life is good..
