Skinny- erased blog published

So I erased it initially because my sister has some privacy paranoia, (you'll know what I mean if you follow my link) and I wanted to get permission before I put her link out. After obtaining permission, I started questioning the appropriateness of writing a blog on losing weight. I still have those concerns, but I haven't blogged in a long time and I have to put out something, right?

So I never quite lost the last five pounds of Camille. Even when I was running 25 miles a week or more, I still couldn’t shake the last 5. I told myself it was muscle and wasn’t worried because I felt healthy. Since the half marathon, I’ve been exercising inconsistently and the muscle is gone, but I weigh the same.

Well, I weighed myself yesterday and guess what? It’s gone! I think the last time I weighed myself was three or four weeks ago. I wasn’t trying to lose weight, but, on reflection, I did do two things differently.

First, I started going to the gym more consistently, working out for 45-60 minutes. I walk hills for at least half that time and run the rest. I used to just run for 30 minutes. Maybe it’s from doing more in the “fat burn” zone. Who knows.

Second, I’ve become a disciple of my fiber-eating sister. Check out her blog: Fiber . You have to scroll down a little and look at the older posts, but she has a series of fiber blogs. I’ve noticed that when I need a snack, I ask myself how many grams of fiber I’ve had that day and then grab an apple instead of something less… fibrous.

Crazy!

So I wrote that a month ago and the weight is still off. . .
