I am a 38-year-old happily married mother of three and I fight with my weight. I did moderately beautiful well with weight maintenance until I ran my first - and barely so far - marathon nearly three years ago.

The marathon itself didn't pack forward my extra pounds. They came forward as a result of a little post-marathon celebration that followed in Russman Child Number Three otherwise known as Reese

Reese is now nearly 2 years elderly and I am still quite having at least 15 strikes more than I did before he came into the picture.

Still, just in the past six weeks I have been sincerely making an effort to eat les eat healthy fares and re-initiate a consistent exercise regimen in my life. I risk a goal to run a half-marathon before the snow flies and I have come afterwarded in consistently running and cros training.
