I hit another goal of mine today and completed a 5 mile run today. I only did 3 one minute walk breaks during time and was able to complete it in about 47 mins. On another note-- last week, I did my own 5k using my GPS to measure the time and distance with no walk breaks and got it done in 26:50. Not my yet beating my previous goal during one of my past weight loss journeys--but I am building up speed as the weight drops.

All of that said I am struggling to do anything but run now... I really need to mix in more strength training. I seem to eat more when I am running regular and tend to use it as an excuse to not make great choices. The good thing about the sleeve is that it keeps portions in check. If I could ever get the correct allignment of Strength training, cardio, and eating I am sure I would be loosing much better. Pre-sleeve I would get to where I was going 1 step forward and 2 steps back, at least now with the sleeve its 1 step forward and only 3/4 step back B)

Sign up for a bootcamp if you want to get your exercise covered without having to think about it too much. I got a huge discount on one month unlimited bootcamp and signed up my boyfriend and I. We went for the 3rd time yesterday, it was great! There's a good mix of high intensity cardio and various bodyweight exercises, plus light weights. And they mix it up every day, which is great for a creature of habit like myself - I tend to fall into a rut with workouts and do the same thing day after day.
