1 hour, 37 minutes

There's nothing like a sunny, warm day -- and the threat of bone-cold weather and snow in the days ahead -- to make you get out and exercise.

I walked 5 miles. It. Took. Forever. I was afraid to go too fast b/c that made my shin uncomfortable. But I so wanted to run. I walked for 1 hour, 27 minutes. Prior to that, I did a 10-minute Biggest Loser ab workout.

Was feeling pretty good. Then got dressed for work. Jeans still damn tight.

Whaddaya gonna do but keep plugging along...
