Title: The New Skinny Olafsens Post by: valhalla on 16-Nov-12, 07:45:22 AM I just updated my profile with a recent picture of the new skinny Olafsens. I'm still holding at 43 pounds lost, from a size 18 to a size 8, and am running 5 miles per day (I'll do 10K every so often simply because I can). Rich is down 70 pounds, from a very tight XXL to a L, and he still has about 40 pounds to go! This has been the hardest thing that we've ever done! Quiting smoking 7 years ago was a piece of cake compared to this!

Quiting smoking 7 years ago was a piece of cake compared to this! Awesome! Congratulations on the achievement, but 5 miles every day? That's some serious amount of running. I only run three times a week, but my weekend runs can be pretty longish. I cross train the other days, which is easier on my aging joints. Have you, or are you planning to run some races? They can be pretty fun! Title: Re: The New Skinny Olafsens Post by: Shaky on 17-Nov-12, 09:24:00 AM I'm still holding at 43 pounds lost, from a size 18 to a size 8, and am running 5 miles per day... You'd think she'd be in Rochester by now. Must be taking the scenic route. Title: Re: The New Skinny Olafsens Post by: valhalla on 19-Nov-12, 06:52:26 AM Awesome!

I cross train the other days, which is easier on my aging joints. Have you, or are you planning to run some races? They can be pretty fun! It's an accident, Patti, as I'm one of those anal people who "don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today", so if it wasn't raining, I ran. Didnt get much rain, so I kept pushing the number up. My joints are ok, since I didn't do anything with them for 54-years ;-) Probably won't run any races because they are in the middle of the day (I run at 4:30 AM), sunshine and all that (I'm afraid I'll melt) :-) I have started cutting back (taking a break a couple of days a week and/or running less), as I'm trying to get into a maintenance mode (I still have 6.5 pounds to go, but with Rich still having about 50 to go, I'll be at this for a long time to come). |
