following: LisaSecret's own diet
performance: losing 0.5 lb a week

I'm 43 years old (just two weeks away from 44) and have never been good at exercise or eating healthy. I'm 5'2", so even though at 140, it may not be overweight, it looks and feels like it to me.

I'm not following any diet. I can't stick with them anyway. I'm just trying to be more conscious about what I eat, and the food journal has been a great tool for me.

I'm really exercising for the first time in my life - started with the Beginner Runner's Challenge and I'm on week 2. So far, so good! I make myself do it right when I get home from work and do it five days in a row. I know myself well enough that if I skip a day, I'll just keep finding excuses not to do it.

Here's hoping I can get back to 120 lbs, where I truly feel my best!

P90X Anyone?
I have P90X, but I read through the first part of the book, and it scared the hell out of me! I'm afraid that I almost have to do a "pre" P90X in order to be able to even start it! I'm not hugely overweight, but not at all physically fit. I've been running/walking (intervals) for the past 3 weeks, but not sure I'm ready. Any comments from P90X Newbies?

Started weight training last night. I have the gym membership that I couldn't cancel for Dominic, so I might as well use it. Feels good to be doing that ...

NOT losing weight, but, I think my "sides" have gotten smaller, and my legs are definitely firmer from the running. I guess that's what matters.
