Weeks 11 and 12

In the last 2 weeks I’ve lost a pound each. I’ve started week 5 of the “couch to 5K” (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml) Working out and being somewhat careful with what I eat has helped give me consistent losses the last couple of weeks, and it seems easy enough to keep it up. I’ll just keep plugging away at it… gym 2 – 3 times a week and running 3 times a week. If I hit a plateau, which I’m sure is coming, my plan is to ramp up that gym time to 4 times a week and doing the elliptical machine on my days off from running.
