While I might not be logging in all my food and exercise here, I am on the wagon (kind of).
I've been "training" to do my first organized run, a 5k coming up in one week. I've been running for almost a year, on and off, but now I'm getting serious.
I bought a Nike+ sensor, and love it. I don't have a Droid phone (don't like them, to big and I don't need all the toys) nor can I have an iPhone since AT&T doesn't work out where I live. The Nike+ works great as far as I'm concerned.
How's my eating... I've discovered that I can eat what I want, as long as I'm smart about it. First, be aware of portion sizes and how I feel - don't let myself get stuffed. Second, I make sure I'm eating a protien, a fast carb and a slow carb. Meaning I'm eating more vegetables!
Have I lost weight? The scale is moving slowly. The way I can tell I'm getting skinnier - my clothes! I put on a pair of jeans that I haven't worn all summer (I live in Arizona - I don't wear long pants from about May until October) and they FIT GREAT! No muffin top either!
So getting smaller? YES!! Which means I'm turning all the fat into muscel, which is a good thing. It also means I'll be staying away from the scale on more days than not.
After the 5k, I'll be training for a 10k. I might even train for a half marathon (13.1 miles), I'm just not sure of the time commitment involved. I do have a job, family and other things to do!
