How I did it
It made me

Proud
How I did it: I started by running 15 minutes straight (brutal) and ran 3x per week (in addition to 2 days of cross training) and increased my time by about 2-3 minutes per week.

I recently hired a running coach to help me with my form so I can finally start running without injury. Hoping for a 10K in January or February.
This is now my top goal and priority. My plan:
Work out 4x/week (2 swimming, 2 running/machine)
Avoid my favorite snack food (I can’t stop myself from eating multiple portion per day!)
Eat healthy meals and snacks of whole grains, good fats, and lots of fruits and veggies
I would like to have lost 5 pounds by the end of July to be at 125.
