performance: gaining 2.8 lb a week

Here is my story..... I was always the skinny person. My family thought I was anorexic. I think because they were all overweight themselves. Well when I turned 24,25 the pounds crept on. I developed many bad habits and quit working out. In the beginning people would ask me if I was pregnant or had breast implants. Now nothing is said. Just the occasional "You're not THAT Fat." I have also received the results from my yearly physical. High blood pressure and high triglycerides. I often have a rapid heart beat/pulse. However, I would be lying if I said I wasn't doing this for looks as well. I don't want the obesity to be my truth anymore. God gave me a beautiful body and I can't believe I have rejected it and abused it the way I have. I am 33 years old and I figure now or never. Time is definitely not on my side. I can hide it and try to conceal it or I can face it and fix it.

The one mess up.....
Yes, I do the same thing. It's the all or nothing mentality. I however love Leann's advice and will use it for myself as well. Good luck!

Avoid a P.M. Crash
Great Tips! Thank you! I usually start out real strong in the morning and find myself crashing with little willpower and no energy in the evenings.

Couch to 5k
I actually went to this same website and printed out the running plan. Now keep in mind I have never gone beyond week 1 but the running workouts I did do were amazing and to think I could actually run was wonderful. I can't wait to be the person either on the treadmill or outdoors for 15 minutes + running w/o any walking.
