Ok, so I never really stopped working out, I just stopped doing anything more than running. And well, that can get boring to write about after a while. Add to that the fact that I have had a hard time understanding why my body just doesn’t want to let go of the last ten pounds I am at a stand still.
I have been to the Doctor and run test after test after test. I have tried different things and still I remain the same. My Doctor tells me I should just get used to I am almost 40. I was getting pretty discouraged and felt bad to come here and whine about it. But, after talking to a couple of people that told me they missed my Workout Wednesdays, I decided to raise it from the dead. And perhaps with raising the weekly accountability I can try some new things and figure out why things aren’t working for me.
So please pick up your running shoes and join me, whether it is for a run a walk or some of the exercises I will be demonstrating. Join in and enjoy. If you don’t run and want to get started there are a couple of ways to do it. By yourself with the Couch to 5k or locally with others and The Running Room. I just kept adding distance to my running until I reached that 5k and that is how I got here. I did run years ago and it just seems to come back to me when I lace up again.
Will see you next week, where I hopefully can raise my abs from the dead too!

Yay! And maybe you can do a losing it in Ottawa guest post some time 🙂
Good luck!
I 2nd Lara’s idea!
How frustrating for you Anna! Keep at it, it has to come off sooner or later. I don’t buy the age thing…I really don’t.
What worked for me, finally was to really push myself beyond what I ever thought possible. And lifting weights too – all that stuff about burning more because you have more muscle.
I was running last fall and enjoyed it but now when I try I find my knee hurts a bit. Plus, now I am running alone and it is so much easier to cut things short when it is just me.
Can’t wait to see what you suggest.
I find it’s a lot harder losing weight now than it was 10 years ago. Damn aging body.
