I got back on my food plan and started working out again a few days ago. I've been steadily gaining weight for a while now and it's time to do something about it. I lost a lot of weight in 2006/2007, gained back a few pounds after that second Christmas and totally ballooned after Zoe died last year. Gotta love depression eating. At my absolute heaviest, in January 2006, I was almost 170 lbs. I'm not quite that heavy again, but, if I were to keep on the way I was going, I would be in no time. So it's back to working out and the food plan. I lost my fondness for step aerobics somewhere along the line. I'm getting on the treadmill this time. I've started the Couch to 5K running program. When I've tried running in the past, my knees have given me major problems, but I know I was trying to do too much too fast. That's the beauty of this program. It eases you into running. I'm still on the week 1 rotation, but so far so good. Will be interesting to see how well and how long my body holds up with this whole running thing.
