Where am I?

Whenever you want to embark on something like losing weight or getting fit, you always need to ask yourself where you stand. Everyone has a different start point and different bodies. No two people are the same. The important thing is to be consistent - set sensible goals and work towards them remembering that results are not instantaneous. After my knee injury i have realised the importance of stretching and proper flexibility. I discuss my goals with a trainer and this has helped me so much although i dont think the heavy weights and excessive straining is necessary at all. Talking with a professional would have saved me from injury but sometimes i learn the hard way. Right now i think i am poised to begin thinking about running once again. This time it will be sensible with walk breaks in between. I realised that when i was running earlier i considered it inferior to take walk breaks so if i was running 5 miles it was essentially : start - 5 miles - stop. Most people who say they ran this much seem to include walk breaks and i suppose that makes sense.
And this year i need to lose about 5 lb minimum.
The weather is getting to be amazing so here is to a fresh start and hopegfully some nice morning activity!

Good luck with yours!
