Getting Back Into It

I'm a slacker, but not without a good reason. My knees were killing me!! Is there a way to run without your knees hurting the rest of the day? I will pay you big money if you tell me the secret.

January 23 I started the week with a two mile run, doubling what i had been doing that last two weeks. For some reason my knees started hurting after the run, and throughout the rest of the day. So the next day I took a break, hoping the rest would be good for my knees. I was wrong. The very next day, all I could stand was 1 mile.

So I took the last 11 days off from exercising and running. My new plan, starting today, is to run two miles every other day for 2 weeks. The days in between I will lift weights. I'm not giving up. I've got to get in shape. I'm not going to be a fat loser like I was in 2011.

I've done really good with my diet. I don't even think of it as a diet anymore, its a life style. Since December 13, or sometime around then, I have only had 3-4 cups of soda, no caffeine. For the most part I've stayed away from fast food, sugar and all the other junk food I was eating. I haven't been perfect, but I am so much healthier that I was last year. I can feel it.

This week is going to be a good week. BTW, I'm down 3 pounds.
