Oh-so-long-ago I wrote about my goal to lose weight. Move more, eat less. It’s working; I’ve lost weight. Not nearly as much I had hoped for in this time period, but I’ve lost some. More importantly, I’ve gone down several clothes sizes.
I’m running.
I’m walking.
I’m (occasionally) counting my calories. (Not necessarily to restrict, but to be aware! I find I’m eating less when I realize there’s how many calories in that pasta dish?!)
I’m eating healthier.
It’s challenging. Occasionally ass-kicking.
I’m not going to lie. Most nights I don’t feel like running, I don’t want to get off the couch. But David encourages me to go.
Each night I come home and thank him for helping me get out the door, because after working out and having a bit of alone time, I feel great.
My health is important. There’s no time to waste.

Good for you! Your evening time by the photos looks so serene, and probably so good for the soul. I all to well understand the allure of the couch and the computer! Should get off this now! Keep it up!
Love this post!! Your words and the view of your run! xo
love the scenery you get to be out in!
Love the pics! Love that David encourages you to go! Love that you feel the benefits of it!
Way to go, Carrie! Here’s to a healthy you. Love the pics and the post!!
this is ALMOST enough to inspire me to go running right now… except then i remember it’s 95 out today, feels like it’s over 100, with an air quality alert in effect. ahhhh dc in the summer :P
Great job on getting healthier. Love the pics.
I am so proud of you!
Go you! And go David for being such an awesome, supportive spouse. You inspire us all to keep up the efforts to maintain our collective good health! If only the northeast in summer were more hospitable to outdoor activity (we are in the same situation as Alice right now).
