Fiona has arrived. Nothing is moving in that. I am planning to buy the Maia this time around because it will encapsulate. The Fiona compresses. They will both do the job. Thats what I need. I will be running in November. I can’t wait. In the next few weeks I will be dealing with going to workshops/conferences and sometimes they don’t have healthy choices. I carry a lot of snacks with me and that helps. Here’s hoping there are healthy choices for the main meals.
on two instances. I made two quick decisions and I was wrong. First I just needed to find my place at cool running. I found the WW thread. They seem like a great group. Second instance–weigh in. I panicked too soon. I didn’t want to post a gain for my TBL team so I took a freebie this week. I weighed for the heck of it on Monday and was down 1.5 pounds. Once I took the freebie I couldn’t take it back. That’s okay I will just post a really decent weight loss for the team next week.
I love the 3FC website. Everyone is always supportive. People answer your questions and you can tell they really thought about the answers. 3FC and the ability to do this blog have been really helpful. I am a big believer in not “reiventing the wheel” meaning if someone is doing it or has done it ,I will ask. If someone has it or had it, I will ask. It is easy to do that on 3FC. I tell everyone about it. They laugh when I say 3 fat chicks but it is important to me.
I recently went on and asked questions about running and got a lot of great input. On cool running I only got why wait to run? Instead of great this will be so beneficial etc. I think I may just record my stats there. I’m still debating that because I can do that here. I will see. I really feel I can do this even at this weight and height. My sportsbra has shipped so it should be here this week. Here’s hoping it is the “one”.
I bought the Fiona. Hopefully it is on the way. I haven’t checked my e-mail to see if it was shipped . I registered on www.coolrunning.com to track C25K. I’ve visited the community forums on cool running….the jury is still out on that one.
about running in November. I plan to buy a sportsbra tonight. After looking at the Enell and Moving Comfort’s Fiona I plan on buying the Fiona. The Enell definitely looks like a lot of support but scary. The fiona looks more comfortable. I’m excited and scared at the same time. Excited about making this new plan and going forward with it. Scared because I fear I may not be able to run as far and as long as I want to but if I can’t that’s okay. I’m generally not a quitter. I just find a new way to approach it.
As the night went on my foot got worse. I was able to take the swelling down with warm water and epsom salt. I went to the doctor this morning–sprained/strained ligament. I guess that’s what he said. After he said I didn’t break anything (whew!) I lost focus. So I will do my best to stay off it for today and tomorrow and hopefully by Wednesday I am good to go. I had a 3lb weight loss this week. I am really happy about that. I am right on target to make my Halloween and TBL goals.
I have hurt myself and I am hoping this doesn’t put me out for long. I twisted my foot/ankle by not paying attention and right now I can’t even bear weight on it. I’ve been icing and elevating it hoping that will work. I am so hoping I don’t need to go to the doctor’s office.
Whew! Despite this I am doing well. I’m doing great with food. Water is still a struggle. No exercise. I think it will be a great weigh in. We shall see.
I’ve decided to do the C25K program beginning November 5th. I can do that in the privacy of my own home on my treadmill. I will make a page for it here on my blog. I will make a page for my weigh ins too. BF and I went to that health food store on Saturday and it wasn’t open. We didn’t see hours posted anywhere. We did find a vegetarian restaurant in Falls Church that we really liked so we will go there again. We are planning to make a trip to Whole Foods also in the next few weeks. I will probably hit up Trader Joe’s at some point too. I like them. I won’t go totally unprocessed foods but I can sneak them in here and there. I love Trader Joe’s. Its easy for me to shop there. I am less familiar with Whole Foods.
My bf has lost quite a bit of weight in a matter of a few weeks. Not like he was really heavy. Just stocky. Whew he already looked good to me but now he’s taking me back to the time when we first met. Men always lose quicker. I guess the fact that he’s eating really clean helps too. No processed foods. Fruits, veggies, protein shakes with flax seed, organic. He’s found this place in DC that we’re going to visit tomorrow. Its a health food store and they prepare food too. He’s telling me about this “chicken” stew made with tofu. I’m really looking forward to it. He seems much happier too that he is taking care of himself. The good thing is he does it his way and I do it mine. I am willing to do organic and vegetarian but I like my processed foods too. I like a variety so I can do both.
I am really thinking about the Road Runner’s club. Registration opens on Oct 1st. I need to make a decision soon.
