Yet again. Okay I decided an outdoor boot camp will not make me get out of bed on cold December and January mornings. I will wait to the spring to do that just like with the running club. So I decided in December I will add Pilates 1x/wk and in January I will add Taebo 1x/wk. The good thing about Taebo is that I have about 25 Taebo workouts. The bad thing is about 20 of them are VHS and I no longer have a vcr. I guess I will have to stick with the dvd’s. I think I will buy a vcr/dvd combo. Anyways in the mean time I will hit up my favorite spot,ebay, to buy some more Taebo dvds.
Week 1 of Couch to 5K done. Only 8 more weeks to go. It was a great week. I look forward to starting Week 2 on Tuesday. You know what maybe I will run Monday, Thursday, and Saturday this week that way I can run during the day rather than the evening. I just might do that for this week and go back to Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday next week. I really don’t expect to see a change on the scale this week. I’m hoping for a good weigh in next week.
I’ve started taking pictures for my scrapbook. So now I have a full shot of me, a picture of my shoes, and a picture of my treadmill. I will get BF to take a picture of me in my running gear too. I’m still on the fence trying to decide if I will take scale pictures too. Maybe I will…with scrapbooking you usually have more than you need then decide what you want to use.
This was the 2nd time I exercised this week. This is the first time that I have done this in awhile. The program is going well at this point. I will get to exercise on Saturday and Thursday morning. My preference is to exercise in the morning but that is not always an option. I saw an add in the paper for a new yoga studio that I want to look into for December. I want to add yoga and/or pilates to my routine in December. In January I will add weight training. Towards the end of this month I will start thinking about an exercise schedule. I will make a page for that on the blog also.
and it felt really good. I’m struggling with eating. Getting them both right at the same would be wonderful. I’m working on it. I am also really trying to make a dedicated effort to drinking water. I bought 2 cases of water and two boxes of crystal light packets. The good thing is at work we have water delivered so that covers me while I am there. Like that has really helped to this point…anyways I will keep trying.
Instead of waiting TOM out I decided to weigh in early. We’ll see how long the visit is this time. Last time it was way longer than I expected. This is the week for C25K! I am really excited. Here’s hoping I do okay. My shoes are ready, my clothes are ready, my mp3 is ready and so is my treadmill. I hope I am ready. I will start during TBL on Tuesday. I plan to blog each time on the C25K page. Here’s hoping I can with life and everything. I also plan to scrapbook the journey too. My CM lady tells me I am horrible at journaling, I don’t journal, so I really want to with this scrapbook so I will use this blog to help me with that.
Halloween is here! I missed my goal by 5 pounds but I’m really okay with that. I am really proud of that. Since I started here on 3FC I’ve lost 17 lbs. Onto the next goal, Thanksgiving. I want to be 211 by then. I know I can do it.
I’ve got quite a bit going on now. I’ve been at a conference. Today is the last day. I’ve been doing a lot of pre planning and making good choices so I should still lose at least 3lbs this week. I officially weigh in tomorrow. Three seems to be my magic number. I got my running shoes on Thursday so the C25K is moving closer and closer. I’m ready. Here’s hoping my foot and my body are ready.
I’m so freaking excited! I was the biggest loser on my team this week. It was never a goal but now that I reached it I’m thinking….that is a great motivator. I don’t want it to be at the fore front of my mind but it’s a nice feeling.
Thursday is almost here. I plan to get fitted for running shoes. I am actually really looking forward to that.
Between school and work I’ve just been so freaking busy. The past two Fridays I’ve traveled. I will travel again on Nov 15th. All of this calls for really careful planning. I think I’ve done pretty good with that. Sometimes being so busy can be frustrating and I think often OMG what if I was married and had children too–I would be ready to pull my hair out. All mothers should be commended! My mom was a single mother for 14 years of my life so I know the many roles mothers must play. Although I did work today I am planning to take the rest of the day to not work or do anything related to school. I already went to the nail shop after work. Tomorrow will be different. I will spend the day working on school stuff and preparing for my presentation next week.
Whew…all this time I waited for TOM to leave and lost 1 lb. I will acknowledge and move on. I’m staying away from the scale this week. I am an everyday weigher. I want to wait until Saturday to do my first check in this week. That will help otherwise I get discouraged. Besides I know it is a bit more difficult because I’m not exercising. November 6th can’t get here fast enough. I was questioning waiting that long –3 weeks–but I felt a little pain yesterday and I turned my foot funny today. A sign I still need to wait and that I’m still not steady on my foot yet. I do plan to go get fitted for a running shoe next Thursday. I know I need to run for them to analyze me but it shouldn’t be for a long period of time. I should be fine. I’ve been drinking water and I’m on my 4th cup and I’m feeling bloated and getting tired of going to the bathroom.
