Surgery is done and I am ready to move on.
Will be a few days before I can do much, but I plan to get back in the game!
C25K app downloaded, grocery shopping to be done. Kids are getting ready to go back to college, so it’s all about me. I have several issues to get thru, intend to get them done while I am off.
Here on out…1300 calories, good food only, 10 hours of exercise per week. That’s it.

OK, time to do it. Kris & I have been 3FC friends for a couple of years. I am absolutely 100% sure that if we lived on the same coast, we would be BFF there as well. Alas, we do not, so need to use cyber space for encouragement. Kris is ready to be back in, I am too. I take it as a sign that her Quit date is the same as my surgery date. We can recover together! In the meantime, I am recommiting to my health today, Not to my weight but to my health. Have a sneaky suspicion that if I get healthy, skinny will come with it!
Game on!

I wish I understood what happens to me. I get depressed and I fall off the face of the earth. I eat everything in sight and then I wonder why I try at all. Circle.
TOM is always a trigger. No idea how to get off this train. Think I am done with talking about it. Possibly for me the blogging and 3FC are worse than just going it alone. Sit down in front of the computer and then I sit for a couple hours instead of moving? Not in the plan

Been pretty good but not 100%. Lucky for me, I can just restart!
Going to give myself 100%. I deserve it. 15th of August should be pretty sweet. I am back on focus, I have been running, have found that WW works for me if I stay with it. There is a reason for plans that allow you to eat out within reason. I love to go out to dinner, so need to be able to work with that.
I just finished week 4 of C25K. I may have to repeat this week of next. A bit concerned that I may not be ready for the 20 minute run that’s coming, but we shall see. Certainly going to try it before I decide I can’t. May be a bit easier this time as I have done this before. I am a horribly slow runner even when I am in shape, I am ok with that. Would love to break 30 min in the 5K but doubt I will be any faster than that.
Love thyself. That’s what I need to remember!

yup both caps, crappy day all around…today was the day from hell.
Let’s keep it in perspective, husband, kids, father in law, all fine. Just work stress, food stress and bad choices, plain & simple. Today, my life ran me, not vice versa.
Tomorrow will be better

150 is my magic number right now, mostly because when I get under 150, I am closer to 100 than to 200.
Under 150 is going to get me some new songs for my Ipod. 145 will be something else, not sure what though. Time to figure that out.

Yup, I did. I did not pay nearly enough attention to my points and/or my food this week and therefore, I actually gained weight this week. Wasted my time and my money. No sense in paying for WW if I don’t intend to adhere to the plan.
Moving forward, I intend to stick with the plan 100%. Every day for the next 100 days. I desperately need help. I have a plan, I need to make time to execute it. Exercise every day, need to do it, not an option. Sticking within points, yup, I can.
Got my C25K done this morning, happy about that. Keep at it

I did not focus as well as I could have this week, but today I did. Can’t be perfect every day, but I have stuck with plan, now I have to plan the exercise too. It does make as difference.
C25k ran today, yay me

So….I ran yesterday! Yay me! Finally buckled down and did it. I am a long way from being able to go 5k again, but I restarted C25K at week 3. That will work for now. Hoping tomorrrow’s run can be outside, we will see. Hubby is home at least 3 hours before me, I feel guilty if I stay out running and less guilty if I hit the treadmill in the house. Need to find that man a hobby!
My other focus needs to be on dinner. My choices during the day are limited, so, usually I eat just what I brought. Works perfectly, but at night I tend to overdo. Going to try not eating after 8 and making better choices for dinner. Together with exercise, perhaps will bring that number down!
