I looked into the C25K and Road Runners club. They seem reasonable and doable. The question is which one. The Roadrunners Fall/Winter training season begins in November and registration opens on Oct 1st. It is $40 for 21 weeks. That is so cheap. They have a fitness program which I would do instead of marathon training. I don’t know if I can commit to 21 Saturdays in a row. I guess that is nothing new. Once I pay if I don’t show up for a few sessions d/t schedule conflicts I’m thinking it doesn’t matter. I am leaning towards Road Runners because of my preference for outdoors. Also I would prefer to do this with others. I barely use my treadmill now. What will change? If I decide to do Road Runners we will see how long I actually stay committed to it. Sometimes my follow through is terrible.
Between work today and other things I really need to center. I weighed in yesterday. I was down 2 pounds. At least I’m on the way down. I am really working on consistency and spending my points better this week. I’ve had two trainers in my lifetime. One I loved and then our schedules starting conflicting and I couldn’t fit her in. I don’t think she trains anymore. The other I hated at first then grew to like then he wanted to give me to someone else so I hated him again…anyways all this to say my first trainer got me running…oops I meant jogging and I think I want to give it a try again. I prefer jogging outdoors rather indoors but I may try that C25K on my treadmill. Or look into the roadrunners club in this area who help train you but I want to make sure it is for the joy of running/jogging vs competitions and marathons.
I can not believe that my vacation is nearly over. I’m back at work on Monday. I love my job. I just have soooooooo much to do. Having two weeks off doesn’t help either. On to weight loss. I am weighing in on Monday. I will have a loss but not as big as I would like because last night and today wasn’t the best. Thats okay I’m getting my water in and I will exercise before the night is up. Stability ball with weights. I will do lower body. Some lunges, squats, leg lifts. I haven’t fully thought it through yet. Alot of good college football on today. I watched the GATORS win big so now I’m watching another SEC game.
The past two days have been good. I exercised again this morning. 20 minutes on the elliptical. It was hard but I felt good afterwards. I will exercise again on Saturday. Lower body with stability ball and weights. I am still wading through magazines. I am finding good recipes, ideas, and websites to check out. That’s why I feel I need to read them. I am always looking for more information.
I exercised. 30 minutes. Stability ball with 5lb weights. Chest press, Pec flyes, Upright rows, Seated rows, Shoulder press, Lateral raises, Bicep curl, Hammer curl, Tricep pushdown, Tricep kickback, Push ups, and abs.
I didn’t give myself full credit. I have been doing well for 5 days straight. I didn’t get the exercise in. I fell asleep. I can’t wait to do my official weigh in on Monday. It will be a good one. I’m a morning exerciser so I need to go ahead and exercise in the morning instead of letting the day go by and try it. I think today is the day. I will exercise before 10am. Next week when I go back to work I will see how often we actually walk and adjust from there. I don’t plan to exercise before I go to work and walk at work. That’s how I burn myself out.
Well it is almost over. I have one more week. I really like this taking 2 weeks but not going anywhere. I feel so rested. I am not acheiving my goal of getting through my stacks of magazines. I’ve only read 6 so far. I will keep going with that because the October ones are on their way. Some of my subscriptions are discontinued because the mags have been shut down so that helps. I am on plan. Four days in a row can you believe it? I’m on my last bottle of water for the day. I am about to attempt to exericse for 10 minutes at least before “The Closer” or during it. Tomorrow is my bf birthday. He says he doesn’t want to go out to dinner or for me to make him anything so that saves me from worrying about points with that. On Wednesday I am going to hang out with my friend Mary and we are going to make a WW Chicken recipe and cookie recipe so I should be good to go with that too. I will take some of my own food too.
Well I ended last week on a positive note. Three days straight of sticking to my goals except for exercise. Once I start I am generally good to go its the getting started part that I’m stuck on right now. To be honest I really wasn’t pushing myself to exercise. I will try harder this week. I have a new stability ball…well…I’ve had it for months but its new because I haven’t used it yet. Maybe I will use it with my TBL Workout Vol 2 DVD. We shall see.
I went to my friend’s baby shower today and did pretty good foodwise. I knew I could count on her to have some healthy stuff. I’m watching High School Musical 2 and no I don’t have any kids and yes I am 35 years old. I love those teeny bopper movies and tv shows. Anyways its funny how old trends come back. I see leggings,babydoll dresses, bangles, headbands, wearing flats with the leggings, and huge purses.
I went to get my fill and pedicure today just like I do every two weeks and I didn’t fall asleep. Maybe a sign of two things: I am really getting my rest during this vacation and maybe eating better is helping also. I got all of my water in and I kept within my points yesterday. I am so proud of myself. I’m still working on the exercise thing. When I return to work on the 17th we will start walking at lunch or whenever we can squeeze it in. That will help me at least.
