You are just amazing Queenie! I am so glad you are posting more. I miss you so much when you are gone because you are one of my exercise inspirations. Thank you for being YOU.

IMPRESSIVE. Can anyone say IDOL........... I am so happy for you. That is just so wonderful that you can run 6.2 miles.

Also how cool on the size 12 jeans. That must be a great feeling. Would love to see Pictures.

Thank you so much, Biki! I was reading through my journal last night and I realized how much being here was a huge part of my initial success. I missed you, too, and I am really so happy to hear about how well you're doing - reaching goal and modeling/acting. You continually inspire me so I'm glad that my exercising inspires you.

Hey Katie!

Thank you so much for the kind words I'll have to take a pic in the jeans next week. The jogging is still a surprise to me. As I told Biki, I read through my journal last night and I never even believed I would finish the couch to 5k plan. I've quit so many other things that I just thought I would quit that, too. Fortunately, it seems once I started jogging and losing weight, my body responded really well and is able to jog distances I never really imagined myself completing. It is so much easier to jog at 180-something than it was at 220-something. Maybe when I'm jogging at 140-something I will get that floating feeling that Holberry told me about quite some time ago. Speaking of hol, hey hb! Hope you are well.

WOW, I haven't really gone running since I weighed 117 pounds. I can't even imagine running now with the twins. But I do speed walk and have some great times....I walk quite fast! CONGRATS on keeping up with jogging!! Maybe I'll try it in the spring when it warms up a bit here. Right now I have been doing Slim & 6 and my Step Aerobics videos...I don't feel right if I don't do something every day!! (I think it's helping me too!!)

When I decide to try jogging I'll have to seek out your advice!!

[bikipatra]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! I want to be a fine-tuned machine!

[lifelovinaries]

Fine tuned machine???? I am struggling to be a machine, let alone fine tuned or even well oiled!! Queenie, you go girlie! I can't imagine running. I HATE running, but then again, i have never tried it unfat so there's always hope i guess. 5mph a SLOW pace???? Get outta here. Running 10k at 6.2? Since these numbers sound high to me, i guess you can see where my running abilities lie! Anyway, geat job on staying conditioned even with the 2 month vacation.

[Tawanda]

Queenie, I'm impressed and a bit over your athletic capabilities (and HB's, too). I'm so glad that you are back with us and that you were able to get HB to post also.

Hi,

Each time I stop over you are thinner and have more energy!

best regards & holiday wishes,

Hey, quit calling 5 mph slow!! I may be slow as molasses, but my heart rate monitor thinks I'm "elite." Hmph.

Hey, quit calling 5 mph slow!! I may be slow as molasses, but my heart rate monitor thinks I'm "elite." Hmph.

at 5mph, i'm gonna think you are elite too! Then again, i guess non-runners, such as myself, are not qualified to judge fast or slow!

[DogMa]

Well, no, I'm elite because my resting heart rate is around 54, WAY down from 70 or more when I was younger.

In my last 5K I averaged a little over 4.5 mph, but I walked at least half of it. I still can't run the whole thing, especially outside in the real world.

Sorry to hijack. I'm mighty impressed by your speed and athleticism. And, like T, a bit envious.

[queenielou]

Hey Robin,

I didn't mean at all to imply that anybody else who jogs at 5 mph is slow, just that it's slower than where I was a couple months ago since I was jogging at 6 mph. I still wish for your dedication and until I can come close to matching it, it will take me forever to lose these last 50 pounds or so.

From now on, I'll just talk about distance, not speed Oh, and that was the first time someone ever said "your athleticism" and "your" referred to me. I'm thrilled!

117? Wow! I probably weighed more than that in 2nd grade. Fortunately (unfortunately?) my girls aren't big enough to get in the way of me jogging. I have the Slim in 6 dvd but I never stuck with it. I should try it again. Hang on to that feeling of not feeling right if you don't do something everyday. I had it once and it was great. Now if I could only get it again...
