Doing good.

I. Weighed today and I was not down a bit. I will not get discouraged though. I didn't do the greatest over the weekend. I also missed one couch 25k day, but I worked out, and ate better than I have in a long time. So I'm going to keep on trucking. I've been drinking almost only water,diet coke as an occasional treat has not bothered me a bit!

Today I started c25k week one again. I found a new app I like better, its called run double. Hannah went with me. She's great at pushing me. Makes me keep running even though I think I might die (its only 60 seconds sheesh)  I want to believe I may be a real runner some day....but I do. Feel doubtful. I hope since this. New app tracks ttime and distance ill see improvement and believe in myself more!

3 days on track!

I must admit...I'm feeling motivated it really just takes getting off your ass and getting started.  I was pretty sore today and to put it lightly, not so much looking forward to a "run". However I went above and beyond!

My ten year old daughter and I downloaded some songs,laced up our shoes and set off on a run...I wanted to go to a walk too soon a few times, she refused to let me. She would basically drag me along!

When couch to 5k was over we walked 10.minutes to our destination (my moms)  and then 13 minutes home! A total of 2.5 miles and 51 minutes and I think around 400 calories burned!  Of course at my moms Hannah was offered an ice cream sandwich to get her calories put back.

I did reward myself with a "rootbeer float " with icecream and sugar free soda. Then I found a bag of opened marshmallows and ate about 10. Eeek. I'm headed in the right direction though!

One foot in front of the other....

Today I woke up early. Surprisingly I wasnt sore....that would come later!  Anyway I got up early had a bit of a stressful morning at work (about home stuff not work oddly enough)  I had fruit for breakfast, I took my ACE pill, and I stayed away from the breadsticks at work!

After work I hit the gym. To tan....but I ended up on the bike afterwards....15 minutes and 3 miles later I was leaving. I felt proud. I didn't Even have my phone or headphones ... yet I worked out. I left feeling good....but sore!

My family and i went to the lake. I got in and I threaded water for nearly the entire hour!

My lunch was a very unhealthy meal Wendy's cheeseburger and small fries (diet coke)  I know I know but it was a healthier option than my regular big bacon classic and large fries. Plus after my workouts I had the calories to spare today and I balanced my day with a. Healthy and small portioned dinner.

Tomorrow is day 2 of c25k but I'm redoing day 1.I am both looking forward too.....and fretting tomorrow. My legs are quite sore today so I will be sure and do extra before and after stretches!

C25k day 1

Well today I woke up and I told myself I was going to treat myself right. I ate pretty well and when I got done with all my daily mom duties....I laced up my new running shoes and did couch 2 5k. I did it outside for all to see. I hope I inspired some obese person eating bon-bons who looked out thier window,  to do the same.

I didn't run fast, I am certain it didn't look pretty,  I stopped 5 minutes early (misjudged my half way mark to turn around)  because I was home, and very thirsty. BUT I DID IT. I didn't do it for my kids, or my husband or even for anyone who might read this. I did it for me. It was painful here and there....I was hot....I got a stitch in my side...but when I was finished....I felt...GOOD,  ACCOMPLISHED, AND PROUD OF MYSELF!

Eat less move more. Simple

I know this. I've done this. You eat smaller servings and healthier foods. You move more to burn calories and you lose weight. Its that simple. So Why am I unable to do it?

I wanted to start today. I like starting on Mondays. I was up half the night. Exhausted. And felt like crap this morning ....excuses like assholes all stink. I know it. I've made excuses for the last few Months (year?)  Everytime I make an excuse....I swear I gain a pound.

Today I ate like cow. I laid around like a sloth. I did nothing worthwhile for myself or my body. I feel fat, and sluggish and its hard to tie my shoes.

My bmi puts me at obese. OBESE not overweight... my goal is to be just overweight. Weighing 160 will put me under the obese category. That's 20 pounds.

I want to say I can do it. I've done it before but I don't really feel motivated. I have to "just do it" regardless. I'm sick of. Buying fatter pants...and squeezing into the ones I've got.

LETS ROLL!
