I signed up for my first registration number yesterday! I am so excited! I lost another inch off my hips this week. I have stayed the same weight even though I am building muscles in my legs. This is week 8 of my training. I added pilates in as one of my cross training events once a week. It is HARD! It shows me that I need more core strength.

Will be doing 7 miles on Saturday... Sweet tarts have been getting me through the long run days, along with Atkins protein shake or Ultra Whey wildberry flavor with stevia and some added raspberries or blackberries. Trying not to eat much solid food before my walk/running sessions. Always have a good lunch and dinner afterwards. Seems easier than eating eggs, bacon, etc. Trying to adjust where I don't have to make any stops on the trail.

Have you any advice for me? I tried getting on the rower before my trail activity, but it never fails... 30 minutes down the trail and I am longing for the bathroom. Help!
