OK,OK,OK.....
I need to drop some too. 6 or 8 years ago I was wearing sz. 32 waist comfortably....now I am in 36 uncomfortably.....
Just before and during the '32' times I was very strict with my diet and was running around 5 miles EVERYDAY...then a fall off a waterslide (don't ask) and a motorcycle wreck along with all those miles pretty much ruined my left knee. IF I could cut back on the miles per day I think I could run again. Maybe 3-4 days a week.
I was running a race (sometimes more than 1) every Saturday.
If you want motivation you could get involved with the 'Run & See Georgia Series'......you don't have to run,it is OK to walk lots of people do.
The series takes place all over Ga. and gives you a chance to see the Great State of Georgia. You meet a great bunch of people that don't look down their nose at you because you can't or don't run.
This might motivate you to do better during the week to get ready for Saturdays. I am trying to get back there myself.
If you want more info on this just ask or PM me.
I would love to loosen my 36's or better yet go buy some 34's!
Forgot to add, the distances are usually a 5K (3.1 miles), some have a 10K(6.2 Miles )or more and some even have 1 milers and some have even more. A lot of times these are tied in with some kind of festival or celebration so there is something to do after.
