laura the plan Nancy posted is great. I did not have a plan when i started and did it a bit differently but it worked for me. here is how I did it.
First what is important find a pace that suits you. Don't go too fast.. that comes later. I started out with 500 yards.. Yep that is it.. All I could do and let me tell ya that was barely. I was huffing and puffing like the wolf from the story with the three little piggies..
then I walked the rest of the 3 miles. I do it every other day. A few times later I upped my running and just listened to my body. I just went farther and farther. The key is if you need to stop do so. Not a big deal. Walk 20 or 30 seconds. then back to running..
I just kept at it and it came fairly easy for me and i am happy to report that I can run 5 miles and did that within 5 weeks. So hang in there. Do not get discouraged. The key is listen to your body and push justa bit more every day...
as for me..... I am sad to report I did not work out even though I wrote I did. I planed on it for sure. But..... I fell asleep at 5 pm and slept through to 8 am this morning. Holy cow I never sleep this long. But lots of sleepless nights this week and not eating made me tired. I am happy to report I am happy today, feel great, strong and am eating.. waahoo

Great advice. Girl, I'm with you with the sleep.

WHOO HOO!! GO ma!

Evening guys!

Well, I have been off with the run and push-ups the last few days but I never stopped exercising or being active.

Friday was kickboxing and yoga and swim.
Saturday was 2 hours of fun swim and 3 hours of dancing at the clubs.
Today was swimming again.

I am going to hit it hard with all my exercise Monday and onwards.

Monday it's push-ups during the day - not sure what I'm aiming for yet. Then it's 45 min of intense weights before I go into kickboxing and power yoga.
