GM. Awoke bright and early to getting work calls at 6:30 am, 6:34 am, 7 am and so on. People, my office hours begin at 9 am. This is the issue with getting to work from home in the afternoons and having my office phone forwarding. Grrr.
Yesterday, I completed Week One of the C25K. I mowed half of the lawn then went for my walk/run. Renee - found a flaw with the App version. One is not such a big deal, just wish they told you this earlier. The App runs in the background, but you have to play it with a playlist or album and cannot change the music. I learned this the hard way. I went to switch songs, looked at my progress a couple minutes later, and saw that the timer was paused. Switched music again and sure enough, it automatically paused it. Grrr. Okay, so I now know I need to choose a playlist and you cannot fast forward through songs. But then, at one point, I was on a walk interval and I was like “Wow, why does this feel a lot longer than two minutes?” and I looked at the ipod screen and somehow it got paused on it’s own. Grrr again!
Anyway, I made it through. And food was really good. I felt a little snacky in the evening and I had some mini-pretzel sticks. Twice more late at night I went downstairs and had to conciously remind myself that I am not physically hungry, I really don’t need to go into the pantry, and I managed to avoid night time eating. Yippee!
And I WI again today, now .2 lbs heavier than Friday. So, -.6 from yesterday, but still. What??? Eating has been great, exercise has been great. Sigh.
Moving on … Twins have a half day of school today and I have to pick them up at 11:30 am, bring them back to my office for lunch and a couple more hours of work. This is why summer sucks, lol. I put them in summer camp for 5 weeks so far, and I spaced that out. $1500. Would be nice if dumbass XH could help out. Anyway, they don’t start camp until 7/6.
I’ve been thinking the last couple days about college. I am done with orientation and awaiting my mentor assignment … but I am starting to worry about time management and how the hell I am going to work FT, parent three kids alone, go to school, and find time for ME (working out, or just quiet time even). I don’t want college to make me fat again, I guess that is what this boils down to. I just have to look at it as another challenge. I seem to do well with that.
Food and stuff for today …
B: Raisin bran, 1% milk, strawberries, coffee
S: Apple
L: Turkey on wheat
S: Another pc of fruit
D: Turkey burgers, sweet potato fries
Water - 3 bottles (made yesterdays goal)
Exercise - Yoga/Pilates class tonight. Tonight’s instructor is the male one and he never does the same Balance track as Zasha, so I don’t get to practice Crow. I don’t like that. But Zasha teaches Saturdays, and I can’t go this Saturday (babysitting) soooo it will have to do.
Okay, only 90 minutes of childless work so I better get productive! lol

Hmmmm…that kind of sucks….I hope they fix it and update the app for you…I will wait to see if you get an update to download it then….so then for now, you are stuck with the playlist you choose, huh?
I bought a Firm dvd yesterday from target. did it this morning. Put a review on my blog.
I agree, it will be a big challenge to do all of these things. If you are up for the challenge, then go for it. You have made your health a priority for so long now, I don’t think you would slip back, esp since you paid so dang much for the surgery….but if it gets too stressful, remember, if you need to drop something out of your life, don’t let it be YOU and don’t feel like a failure if this isn’t the right time to pull it all together. Your kids are small yet, and soon they will be self sufficient…and YOU WILL have more time for YOU. I promise!

Uhh, you’re not gonna have time to get fat again. No way, Sister! LOL And…if you’re anything like me, you’ll enjoy your study time and view it as “Kelly Time”. Everything falls into place in time, no matter what, I believe. You will come through with flying colors. I don’t know you personally, but from what I’ve read, you’ve repeatedly proven your competence in overcoming massive obstacles. I am often in awe.
Ya know, I also have a fear of getting fat again. It seems pretty darn reasonable to me for people in our shoes to have that fear. …so it must be a ‘healthy’ fear.
Anyways, I think you’ve come too far and learned so much about mind, body, spirit stuff that you’re way past the point of returning to fat-life. Safe zone.
You’re going forward, not backwards. You are right, you’ll master this one too.
I’ll say a prayer for peace for you.
