I am battling to lose. I am battling to exercise. Somedays I lose the battle, but I WILL win the war.

Any other warriors out there? Those that struggle but could use a pal that gets it.

Yesterday I tried couch to 5k for the first time. Thought it would be another thing I would try and give up on or fail. But holy cow, I did it. I finished!! Day one, I won the battle!

Take today off....thank goodness because my arthritic knees are screaming at me. But I won the battle! And I actually look forward to day 2 tomorrow. (that was NOT a typo!!)

AND I am TIRED!!!!!!!! BUT I am still going to the gym, trying to get that 30 minute walk in every day at least and watching what I am eating.

I am not losing the way I would like to, but the nutritionist says women's bodies are designed to hold onto fat when they are under stress, so that is something I am really trying to work on.

Please count me in the Warrior club! I just downloaded the Couch to 5K app and will give it go this weekend.

First, hi Lisa! Nice to meet you.

Second, HOLY COW, You areliving a lifetime movie!!!

Give c to 5k a try. Not easy for me, but, ready to try again tomorrow.

Feel free to pm me or visit here to vent or get a pep talk.

I definitely understand the sandwich generation stress. If it isn't the elderly parents, it's the teenagers. Just spent $40,000 for my son to be on academic probation his freshman yr of college!

Good for you!! I loved the c25k app. I am now working on running 3-4 miles without stopping because of it. Keep it up and you will start to enjoy it. We are ALL warriors our battle is just a little different from everyone else. You CAN DO IT!!
