After all of the stuffing my face at Thanksgiving and being sick the past week, I feel terribly out of shape and not thrilled about all of the Christmas eating coming up. I’ve decided that I am going to stay away from dips and desserts (totally the highest fat content) and get seriously back on track January 1.
Now I know all about the failure rate of New Year’s resolutions… I never make them because I think they are silly, but this year, it is to get in wedding shape!
I registered today for the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run in DC in April, and am going to try and squeeze in two half marathons before the big day. Having a goal or race to be training for seems to really keep me on track. I have run three marathons and with all of them, I was at my lightest and smallest size, but I just don’t have time for another marathon and all of the training before the wedding. So the halfs and ten miler will have to do it.
Running is my outlet and the fastest way for me to drop a couple of pounds. What is your workout routine?

Running..I’ve gotta get back into it (i’m trying) I LOVE IT!! Such a great stress release & snaps my body RIGHT into shape (all over) I don’t have to stress about what I eat (if I am running my face off)…
FH and I signed up for IronMan Lake Placid 2 months before the big day plus we have an ultra distance bike event in Paris 5 weeks before so honestly we don’t have a choice but to keep up with training.
I agree 100% that races and events keep you on track for fitness goals.
Running? What is that? 
I’m walking. And skating. Still not that in shape. But the cooler weather makes it so much easier to do it. Also, now I feel really bad for having that onion dip for lunch. Seriously. I did! Good for you, though. I can’t run, my asthma is waaaay too bad.
I love to run, but I haven’t been doing much of it lately. However, I’ve been running a mile every other day or so and doing strength training to get my arms and legs in shape.
I just started taking the Power Sculpt class at my gym. It is a great full body workout- weights, step, lunges, squats, etc. I am so sore right now!
I’m doing running too!
A half in early March, a 30K race late March and another half mid-May - two weeks before the wedding. If I’m not in top wedding shape, nothing will get me there!
working out before work. no excuses of not working out after work cuz i’m too tired or have errands or hanging out with friends.
you were able to register for that? ahhhhh, i’ve spent all morning trying to get in!
i tried the running thing but my joints couldn’t handle it. i’d run 1-3 miles and my right ankle would hurt for days after.
i do the elliptical for 45-60 mins on a set program and up the resistance to 10. then i’ll hit the weights.
I’m a runner too! My mileage has fallen off terribly, though, equally due to health problems and laziness. In the new year, my fiance and I are going to 1. eat better so we lose some weight 2. run more!
Good luck to you. I’m actually tying my running shoes right now (should have left already, must get off Internet before running…)
Running/jogging/walking in intervals, weights and ab work.
(Also trying very hard to avoid the deluge of holiday chocolates and goodies in the office.)
