As in, I need you to support me, not that I'm going to support you. Lazy wenches.


Oh :[

Anyway, while I'm not obese by any stretch of the imagination, I have gotten a bit roundier than I would have preferred. I will be dieting and exercising (bought a wii fit to get started!), and I figure that the more people I tell, the more embarrassed I'll be if I mess up. Also, I thought that if anyone else is in the midst of getting in shape, it could be fun to share stories.

For the record, I'm doing sort of a South Beachy plan (only good carbs, good proteins, good fats, lots of veg) and counting calories on livestrong.com. Also wiiing, obviously. Maybe playing camogie again.

I have some questions.


k.

1. Are you currently following any kind of weight loss/fitness plan?


Not a structured one. I did the C25K and loved it (serious <3) and have been running regularly ever since* as a way to stay active and fit. During that time I lost about 25 pounds that I have managed to keep off for a while now. Almost a year, now that I think about it. Wow. I didn't follow a specific plan except start eating more (mostly raw) vegetables, mostly in the form of salads for lunch. This had the side benefit of cutting back on the fast food/junk I was normally eating for lunch.

*(...or at least I had been until about...5 weeks ago? Getting back into it as soon as the body cooperates.)

2. If so, have you been doing this for a while?


I finished C25K in March of 2010 and have been running 2-3 times a week since then. Or I had been until stupid life got in the way :P

3. How's that working for ya?


Great :)

4. Have any advice? (If you're Tom, you don't need to tell me that I should just run and eat what I want within reason. I apparently have a special kind of chub that is impervious to this plan.:P)


Find something that works for you and that you'll stick with.

5. Would you like to be supported in this endeavor? I've got an excellent guilt-trip.


Your kind of support frightens me.
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.
