OK,OK, so CAKE might not be a good option when I'm on a diet, but tell me, could YOU refuse a fist full of icing from this kid???
I started Nigel's 10 IN 10 CHALLENGE this past week. Doesn't a measly 10 pounds in 10 weeks sound easy?? DAMN YOU CAKE!
First week actually went well, losing 1.5 pounds, but it's not fun at all!
I really think the only way I ever lose weight is to really step up my exercise. By this I mean going from exercising 4-5 days a week to 6-7. Stepping it up a bit. I've been running 5-6 days a week and using the Elliptical Trainer when I can't or don't run. I stay with it for at least an hour every time. Maybe all in my head but it seems to work for me. In all reality, besides the great sweat and the calories I burn, I am much less apt to cheap knowing the work I had to put in to finish that hour!
Ran 4 days in a row this week (22 miles) and almost couldn't lift my legs out of bed on day 5! Don't think that's a wise move for my 51 year old body anymore. I better think twice before I do THAT again. Took today of completely!
That's all from sunny Cincinnati for now.
Peace.....

Good job! I wonder if I could count the elliptical as walking. Check my blog for details.
Kevin, You are not old. Don't claim it. It makes me feel it. I don't want to!
Cute kidlet! Feliz Cumpleaños!
Now, that's how to eat cake!
I'm still trying to slim down a bit too and you're right, it's not easy. Good luck with your 10 in 10 challenge.
Well, eating cake that way will ensure you don't eat quite as much!
Well done on the running and the weight loss plan. I agree, when you have to work so hard to get the lbs off, it is easier to be good on the diet.
