Pop up to 129. Too much chopped salad, I suspect, plus no aerobic ex yesterday. Wont be any today, either. I am realizing that I’m going to have to figure out something different….. I love the walks home, but they wipe me out for the rest of the evening, and I do need some hours in the evening to tend to life.
Moving: pseudo deadlifts, 3×12 (5′)
B: 2 slices white toast wit butter. oink. (and coffee w/milk, natch)
L: lofat yoplait

Yesterday’s moving: walked home — through the park but up over the Oval
Today is Today.
Moving: 3×12 bicep curls (5′). Tried to turn on the Wii Fit, but it didn’t respond — no little fickle finger of fate appeared. Argh. One more thing to tend to.

Goal: down 5 lbs by Thanksgiving.
Current: 130.10
Moving: walked up the steps this AM (8 flights). Lungs hurt. Plan is to walk home: done. Did the Run, so faced teh steps at the end, which made for a day bracketed by stairclimbing and some real asthmatic struggle.
B (7 AM): coffee w/whole milk; apple w/all-bran (crockpot) and 1/4 cup of nofat vanilla yogurt
L: plan is to eat a pb&j sandwich (wholegrain bread), probablyas morning snack and lunch. Done.
S: plan is to eat leftover pepe pasta w/veggies. Done. Added tuna to this for some protein and had about 4 oz of beer.
So I stayed on plan through supper and got in some exercise at the beginning and end of the day. Peachy, eh?
But then. Depressed. Ay yi yi.
So I had a peanut butter cup that DS had left in the cookie jar.
And wanted more. So had a cup of nofat cinnamon yogurt. Ugh.
And wanted more. So had a cup of chopped-dates mixed with chocolate chips.

Definitely in a mood last night, and it stuck around for today (not that the dark skies and endless rain help in that dept). Just not my usual sunny self. People are bothering me. Like, bo-the-ring. Like, the BF and his passive aggressive manipulative sh*t. Like, coworkers. I suspect the worst instead of the best, and that’s not right.
Ran yesterday, so at least I did that right. Next run shoudl be tomorrow.
Still not weighing myself. I feel enormously gargantuanously fat.

I’m not even going to check my weight. This week has just been pretty awful. Sunk down in depression (though I want to give myself props for, mostly, plugging along, one foot in front of another). Not sleeping. Erratic eating. Exercise has been limited to some walking of the dog and walking home (both of which, frankly, felt like huge achievements, so I’m not knocking myself there). All kinds of mess on the family front. BF doing hsi usual routine of pulling back when I’m down.
And today — ta-dah! — I got a lupron shot. Six months of this ahead. So I thought I’d try to track a little bit. I’m right at the tail end (ha) of TOM, and am not sure what getting this first shot now will do.

Running
I mean that (’running’) a couple of ways. I’m running now. Well, jogging. And I want to add all kinds of other caveats to that statement, but won’t. Fact: Three times a week, I run. This past week, I ran 25 minutes at a stretch in each of those three times.
But also: time is running, running, running. I checked last year’s entries, and I felt this then, too. So this is it, I guess, part of middle-age (is it still middle age if I’m past 50? when do I hit the ‘old age’ point? 70?).
And I’m not sure I’m running my life well. I can’t tell. I am attending to my health; that’s a very good thing. I’ve adopted a dog. I’ve got a job. I am involved with friends and loved ones (but enough? I need perspective on that). I volunteer, give back to the community.
I try hard for balance and growth. But there are areas where I feel like such a failure. The house. Finances.
W: 128.

128.
Lots going on this week, so the key will be: perspective. I am CHOOSING to do all of these things. Lots of ‘em have to do with moving my body, so props.
Looking ahead: take the dog to the vet’s tonight, practice in the boat (paddle h.a.r.d) tomorrow night, do W6D3 on Wednesday (26 mins), work with the kids on Thursday, practice again on Friday (also should be W7D1: will need to think about whether that’s smart or not — maybe I start W7 on Saturday?). Sunday’s an all-out day at the races. I need to be rested and proteined-up by then!
Moving:
Walked the dog (20 mins) and ran to the bank at lunch, but real walk planned for after work (weather allowing).
Eating:
B (8:30 AM): coffee w/1%, kashi go lean w/1%
Sn (11 AM): half a kashi protein bar
L (1 PM): greek yogurt (plain and yummy), water
Sn (3:30 PM): almonds and craisins, water
