So I subscribe to your blog and am working hard on weight loss myself. I’m considering trying something new and I’m looking for all the advice and support I can get :). It would mean a lot if you would check it out: http://alivewithanticipation.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-need-your-thoughts.html

Thanks!

No running goals but I do want to reach my weight goal this year and then promptly turn around and get pregnant! Kind of silly to lose weight and then gain it but it will make for a better pregnancy if I do!

Hey Roni! I just started my training for my first 10K in May!! I am really excited and the best part of it, is that my husband is training for it too!
I’ve been on my weight loss/healthy living journey for about a year now, and if someone told me that I would be training for a 10k I would’ve laughed at them!
My question to you is…I’ve heard that I will lose more weight when I start training for my 10K. (I’m 17 pounds from my goal weight)
Have you noticed an increase in your weight loss during your training?
A little background: I’ve been working out with a personal trainer 3xs a week for 8 months now, and just started training for my run. So I’m not “new” to hard workouts or excersing.

Thanks for always being an inspiration!

Yes we can! I jogged for the first time in my life last night (half mile in total) that wasn’t driven by a nazi gym teacher. And I drew so much inspiration from your video podcasts on the subject. THANK YOU.

Perfect quote! Thanks! That’s just what I needed today. I just signed up for a race that scares the heck out of me!

I have had those same thoughts and believe me I have had a hard time actually registering for the 1/2 because I’m TERRIFIED I will just be throwing it away.

But you are right. We CAN do anything we set our minds to. REALLY.

I found another quote…its not as inspiring as it is funny and motivating.

“Running is a big question mark that’s there each and every day. It asks you, ‘Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?’”
- Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian

I have been reading that everyday that I is a training day. It really is helping :)

Roni, I stumbled across you blog on Friday night and have enjoyed it so much. I even made your sauce last night with spaghetti squash. Delish! I jointed ww on line a week ago and was struggling with hunger. That dish felt like a real meal! Your pictures and success are inspirational and your blog is just great. I can’t say much about the marathon running at the moment, it’s so cold here and it’s a challenge to take my puppy for her walk. But who knows, some day. Thanks again and I’ll stay tuned.

Hi Roni, My running goal for 2009 is to complete the C-2-5K before June when I visit my sister in law in CA so I can go out for a run with her. She has made jokes about my not exercising in the past and I want to show her I am not who she thinks I am! I am much more than she thinks!
