day 2 couch to 5k

I woke up this morning thinking about getting day 2 under my belt, I knew that if I put it off I may not do it, and I really want to do this so I got up wth motivation. I stretched a little on the front porch and noticed how sore I was, I was thinking man I didn't know jogging used those muscles (haha)
I did it! I walked and did my little intervels. I have to admit it makes me feel great about myself! I am now even more sore but with time my body will get used to it right?? So now if I could get my eating in check all will be right. I really am disgusted with myself.
oh funny thing was when I got back to the house Jon said where were you? I guess I didn't tell him about my new adventures oops

day 1 for couch to 5K

ok so I just finished day 1 of my training it consists of 5 minutes of brisk walking followed by 60 sec. Of jogging and 90 sec of walking for 20 minutes. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Did I sweat? Like a pig! Gross, but it felt great. So I am supposed to do that every other day three times. I think I will be good at this first stage. I did 10 rounds so 10 min of jogging and 15 of walking.

when I take the kids to swim practice I have been swimming a little, but really not enough. Now if I could just quit eating so much uggg.

ohhhh plus I saw a girl in a bikini that was bigger than me in jan :( how can I do that?? I will, (never a bikini) but looking almost that good.

nine week plan :)

ok so I finally decided on an exercise plan. I read a plan called couch to 5k it is a nine week exercise program for running a 5k. My goal is to do this to promote my healthy eating lose weight and run the breast cancer race in october. You alternate days and maintain a schedule.

on another note I told my kids today to help me not to eat between meals. Leila said why? I said because I don't want to get fatter. This coming from the child that told me I wasn't fat to her, that I was probably fat to lots and lots of people but not her. (gotta love her)

so wish me luck! And if you would like to join me it would be fun! We can keep eachother on target.

weigh in

I am happy to report i did weigh this morning. I couldn't help it. It is an addiction. I haven't gained any YAY but i havent lost any. I am praying and working actively for 6 pounds over the next two weeks. I did well last night, and so far so good today :)

PS for today

I am scared to weigh! I will weigh next monday and give you an update! I need a week of doing well again before i get completely discouraged. Started off with a wellness walk this morning with my fifth graders.

getting back on track

Ok so i started doing all this and in the middle of it i had an attack of tremendous pain!
I have been off track. I found out that I had an internal hernia and had to have surgery. Then after surgery i took my fifth graders to Washington DC and ate enough junk and fast food to kill someone!!!
So I am now starting a new day and getting my eating under control. It also didn't help that i bought that addictive cheese puff popcorn stuff on friday and ate the entire bag OMG what was i thinking? And last night Jon and i feasted on McDonalds! What we NEVER do that!!! So i am uterlly disgusted with myself!
You know how you feel when you eat nothing but crap for days? I feel fat, and greesy and just disgusting. So i woke up this morning determined to get back on track. I had one of those Kashi bars for breakfast! YUMMY!!! and i am getting on track with my water again today.
I HATE that Bloated yucky feeling. I have to admit i got really discouraged when i had to have surgery! I was like...What? I have been doing so well how could something be wrong?
I cannot lose this battle! I can't let food control my life. I don't want to be 300 pounds. I want to feel good, look good, and want to live my life and not be wieghed down and tired. Summer starts for me in a week and 1/2 How can i exercise? any tips... maybe a morning walk with the dog? A swim with my kids, and plenty of bike riding.

sick

ok so i have to jump back on the wagon after being so sick i felt like i might die!!!!! I did lose four pounds during that, but i am sure those were just pity pounds. Alas i didn't make it to losing my 10 pounds by my birthday. BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP!I now have a bike, that as soon as this crazy rain lets up i am going to ride daily.
I will have to be honest. The illness i had was due to diet. I told the doctor i had been drinking water, and eating A LOT of fiber and not eating between meals. She was unimpressed, as if i was lying to her, because she said that there is no way i could be doing that. BUT I AM. i guess i need to just step it up a little bit. I need healthy choices all the time. stay tuned for weight loss totals tommorrow.
