You could also substitute the ground beef for ground turkey; looks the same cooked and pretty much tastes the same. The key is less fat and equal amount of protein.
I started running 5 days a week about three weeks ago and, although it has been tough, I've managed to build quite a bit of stamina and strength in that short amount of time. The first day I went running I barely made a mile. Once I figured out what I was doing wrong (basically running too fast), I'm up to 2 and half miles a day. Cardio is so important and is mentally tougher than just lifting. Make sure you keep doing it.
Another I key I have found to losing weight, is keep drinking plenty of water. Especially, if you are addicted to soda; water is a good mental substitute to constantly desiring soda.
Good luck and keep us posted.
