I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Would like to shed at least 10 more pounds.
And I'm not really back to my pre-pregnancy shape - would like to reclaim that to some extent.

Let's see here... to recap the past couple weeks...

Ran for about an hour on the bike path by my folks' house.
Backpacked around Taquamenon Falls State Park.
Swam in Lake Superior a couple times.
Ran about ten miles in Porcupine Mountains State Park and felt like I was going to die, mostly due to the terrain.

Swam in Lake Superior a couple times.

Freezy!

^ It wasn't all that bad actually. Chilly, but not the hypothermia inducing horror that it's known to be.

Did about an hour of a spur of the moment full body workout. Arms are fried and everything else isn't far behind.

July 17 - Nice, slow 11 miler this evening. Felt great from beginning to end.

Due to not being able to sleep, I decided to go run. 2 hours and 41 minutes and about 14-15 miles later the verdict was in that it was not a good idea. Oh well.

And....I'm back. Sort of.
My job relocated in late June, leaving me with an hour commute, each way, 5 days a week. Thus, my pre-work run has disappeared. Sorry, just not motivated to get out there when it's so friggin' dark! And forget about after work. Never was in the mood before the move, DEFINATELY not interested now. Ugh.
On the bright side, I have carved out a little time before work to get some push-ups and ab work done. And when I have time on days off, I'm trying to get out for a sporadic run.

Hello everyone.

Been running here and there, but not enough to say so. I did win second place in the "Best Holiday Sweater" category at a 5K I ran a couple weeks ago though with a friend.

I'll be honest I've done bugger all for exercise for a long time, but with pending nuptials coming up quicker than I'd like I'll be getting on big time from later this week!

[RollaFett]

Lazy as hell lately. Well, not entirely true. I did knock out a few runs during my time off around the holidays, but overall, since late June....I been bad.
Well, tonight after work I knocked out some situps and pushups, and no matter how dark it is tomorrow morning, I WILL get out there for a run.

[RollaFett]

^ And I did. In fact, it was the first of three runs in the last week. Only 3 miles for each, but I'll take it. Simply not enough time to do more, and the early morning darkness doesn't make it any easier. But I gotta say, man, it felt great getting back out there! Plus, I've also included a pretty regular situp/pushup regimen as well. Not a ton of each, but enough to make a difference as long as I keep it consistent.

Is anyone else here using My Fitness Pal? I've been using it since November. I've known for several years that my biggest problem is just that I eat too much (I love food!). It's a fairly easy way to keep my eating under control.

5.58 mile run followed by 100 situps, 50 pushups, and a trip up a rope.

Had a 25K planned, but my running partner got a nasty cramp around 20K so we stopped and walked the rest of the way. Fun for all.
