Then I got to the point where I thought I could add in some short spurts of jogging. Then I slowly did longer and longer spurts. Until eventually I was able to jog the whole thing.

I now jog 5 miles, 5 days a week, and I enjoy it more than a walk, just because i can get more exercise in to a shorter time frame.

Just throwing it out there because sometimes what we think we will hate, can turn in to something we love. But if you decide to try it don't just go out there running cold turkey. Start by building a brisk walk in to your regular schedule and then slowly work up as you feel you're ready.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I sometimes jog a teensy bit and will tell myself "to that mailbox" or "to that next driveway". My dog would love it if I jogged too, she gets to go faster. She loves it when I take her on a bike ride!

Rained the past 2 days. Didn't walk yesterday, got in a 10 minute walk today when the rain stopped.

I bought some Greek yogurt. I liked it. What makes Greek better for you than regular? I usually buy Stonyfield when I do buy. Used to buy plain and vanilla and mix so sweet but not as sweet.

I just don't want to end up like my mom , that has wanted to lose 20# for the past 20 years. I just want to lose 5-10, or at the last not gain anymore! I'm at the end of the normal BMI range.
