The next step

I want to start by saying how my cleanse went. I lost 7 lbs and 8.5 inches all in 9 days. I have been able to keep 5 of the lbs off and am still working on my last 13. I went in for my regular physical appointment and realized I actually have lost 13 lbs in a year. I guess I am doing better than I thought. The cleanse I did is this if you're interested, take a look. I'm pretty sure I've become addicted to this working out stuff. I miss it when I can't do it! It's so weird how ornery I can get when I don't get my exercise in :-) In a couple weeks I'll run in my first relay of the year. Two Saturdays ago I ran my first half marathon. It was a pretty amazing experience and made me decide I will someday run another half marathon. I don't plan on ever running a marathon, but I could do another half. I'm excited for all the relays but I'm also excited for my next step in the weight loss journey. I'm going to do a 12 week challenge by a fitness person on bodybuilding.com. I can't remember if I've brought it up before but I think it will really help. It's all set up with the food and exercise but for the first four weeks, there's no cardio. My plan is to start it the Monday after the Wasatch Back Ragnar in June. I would take a week off anyway, so this way it would just be an extra 3 weeks added on to it. I've seen peoples results from it. The nice thing is that the plan is free and free is good, especially when you're cheap, like me! Anyway, her name is Jamie Eason and it's the livefit plan.
