I found an article about some research that says that to shrink you must exercise a minimum of 275 minutes a week. That’s a lot. Any less is ok to maintain health, but not to lose weight.
I posted the article with the others on the side there.

I am feeling very proud of myself. I have been ‘running’ every second day now for almost three weeks, and after my last July run (day after tomorrow) I will have covered somewhere around 63 km this month, at a pace of approx 9min 17 sec a km. Now I know that is slow. But [...]

I am very tired.I haven’t been sleeping well and it is catching up with me, I suppose. This weekend I am heading to my parents’ home for a quick visit - it’s about 4 1/2 hrs away, so this will be a full weekend. I am being a Good Daughter. I know that for [...]

I did get up early and go for a walk/run - 30 minutes of my podrunner 5K training [...]

My legs are a bit sore today. I pushed myself a little harder last night and I am being very careful of my knees - I am sure all this weight bouncing along puts tremendous stress on them. I only run on a dirt track and I have pretty good shoes and I slow down at [...]

Forgot my afternoon snack and had a chocolate bar instead, but except for that I managed reasonable portion control and all my fruits and veggies. I had a beet-carrot-spinach juice for breakfast that sounds horrid but tastes very fresh and garden-y. Last night I bbq’d a roast stuffed with fresh herbs from my garden. I [...]
