Hi Rebellion

[messejessie]

I am new to this whole thing. My boyfriend sent me stacy's story to help motivate me to get back on my diet. So I decided to join because I need a little bit more support and keeping me honest other than just a lost it app on my iphone. Right now I lift three days a week and run two days a week. I believe in one cheat day so that you can still enjoy food life to an extent. I have a calorie limit and I am not allowed to go over it even on cheat days. I lost 23lbs on my own than stopped and gained 5lbs. I am starting to do the paleo diet. I just started it. I have to give myself a cheat day to eat bread or something just so I dont go crazy starting out. But thats pretty much what I am doing.

Hello Jessie!

I believe in cheat days as well! I also believe in if I want a brownie, I can have a brownie, just not the pan of brownies.

I'm a runner too, so how much are you running on your run days?

We all start somewhere and I think you're going to do awesome!

I was running a 5k every time because I am training for one in December, then i got off of it and now i am trying to build back up. Right now its 2 and half with a run walk combo. Don't want to kill myself trying to get back in the grove.

No that would not be happy. Slow and steady wins the race!

I'm training for a half marathon next February. I'm not so much running as I am jogging most of the time. I love it.
