I have not been as devoted to my diet the past few months as I was a year or so ago. I have been keeping up my workouts and runs. I did the same 5K last week as I did a year ago. My time dropped from 30 to 34 min. That is because I'm hauling an additional 25 pounds for the 3.1 miles.
No excuses here, just bad choices and I need to take control again. I was selected for the Peachtree 10K again this year, I would like to reduce my time. I ran a full hour this morning, I have not made it a whole hour in about 6 months.
Hope everyone is doing well.

I tried the Atkins a few years ago for a couple weeks. I lost weight but I got board with the food pretty quick. I have never had great luck with sticking with "diets". How about you?

I can't stick with a certain diet either. I think we are just human being and we get use to a certain food that are comforting and we also crave for a certain food. If you follow a certain diet and eat what the book said, that is really not nature. I found the best way for me is to eat what I would normally eat in a smaller portion. I also try to cook it healthier too. This way I won't deprive myself, however, the weight loss is very slow.
I didn't do well in the last 9 months. No work out, no watch my portion. I gained all back. This is a life long journey and I have to stick with it. I have learned.
