Yay! The 8 Minute Run

Wow, I did it! Not even nearly winded when I was done. Could it be that this exercise thing really does make one more fit?

The Payoff

It's been two weeks of diet, jogging, and yoga, and I'm beginning to be able to fit back into some clothes. Thank goodness! I shimmied into the magic dress, and *almost* made the cut. Maybe in two more weeks.

After a crazy summer of fits and starts, I've earned my way to $154 on the iPod diet, and today I was able to buy the Shuffle. I loaded it up this evening and took it for a test run. Very impressive. I am now running in 5 minute stretches--quite a feat, given in the beginning I could barely do 1.5 minute intervals. Tuesday I will gear up to do 8 minutes. Wish me luck...
