Goals

Every week, I try to set mini goals for myself. Hoss and I talked it over and decided surely I can do 40 miles of walking and biking every week. Surely! This week, I sucked and didn't do it.
See in my head, I thought I totally got this on the weekends. Make up any extra miles there because biking 10 miles is nothing! Yeah well we only walk 2 maybe 2.5 miles for 5 days so that's 12.5 MAX minus 40 leaves me with 27.5 over two days that usually are kind of busy and well it's the weekend who wants to exercise. Needless to say, but I didn't make it this past week.
So now the new goal is still 40 miles but biking on the days we don't do the C25K which would be averaging almost 7 miles if I do it over 4 days which could mean I could have one day of not excerising if I'm good and bike 10 miles
Here's to crossing fingers that I make this goal!!

We'll wing it!

So because of Hoss's work schedule, we have to be flexible with our C25K workout. Last Saturday we decided that that day was just a trial. Today was going to be our second day... now we're changing that because of he got stuck today at work with 3 hours of OT and now we don't really have time to complete two more days before Tuesday.
Kind of sucks because I was actually looking forward to doing this with him today. Some alone time without the tv -- it's AWESOME but his job pays the bills so the sacrifice we make in our time together :(

C25K Real day 1

Yesterday was a BIG DAY!! Weigh in for me -- back down to my prevacation weight :) and Hoss and I officially started the Couch to 5K training. And guess what!! I did ALL 8 FREAKING, STUPID jogging times :) I had a huge-a grin on my face when I finished 6 because it was 1/2 more than the trial time on Saturday. And then ruined it all by having funnel cakes at IHop :) sooo worth it though.
Looks like our next day will be on Friday and somehow we will have to work in one on Sunday but Hoss, I'm not seeing how that will work unless we get up in the morning, run in the heat of the day or do it at night.
And no I'm still not converted to this whole running stupidity. It's still dumb

PreDay 1

lol Hoss has decided that today's attempt was just a trial to see where we were at :) Basically we started the Couch to 5K today at oh 11:30 a.m. in LA. It was only 97 degrees. I know! Quite cool for us :)
Anyways basically the first week of the plan is 60 secs jog 90 secs walk for 20 minutes which Hoss figured up to be 8 times jogging. I know he's disappointed in me but I'm proud of what I did. Nope I didn't complete it, I probably (according to Hoss) jogged about 5 1/2 times. But I thought that was pretty darn awesome.
Let's face it, I don't have a runners body. Never did even when I thought running might be cool (I quickly changed that after day 2 of Freshman Cross Country -- momma didn't raise a fool). Not only am I 80+ lbs over weight for my barely 5'2" frame but most of that is top heavy.
But I'm proud still, I never actually quit. I had to stop to take something off for my ankles but I never really stopped moving.
Next week we start for real (because apparently you have to do this in a traditional week setting because we color within the lines :D) and hopefully by the end of week 1 I'll more than have the 8 times of jogging down so that week 2 is easier.
Here's to quality time with my Hoss :)

TOTAL CRAZINESS!!!!

This week has sucked majorly on this front. Back from vacation and I know I gained weight (whoopie) and I only walked three times this week! What in the world!! In my defense though, Wednesday I just couldn't get up (literally Hoss punched me and I wouldn't move) and this morning... well I didn't hear the alarm, I went to bed wishing I could throw up and woke up at 3 a.m. wishing someone would take my head off to releave the pain (stupid weather). But nonetheless, totally discouraging.
But no that's not what is crazy. Actually that's par on course for me (maybe even a birdie or eagle).
No what's crazy is what I'm thinking of doing and have agreed to do (which means I will because I ALWAYS keep a promise to someone else). I decided to go with Hoss and do this silly Couch to 5K thing. See Hoss likes to do 5K but stays out of shape. Me I think running is stupid -- always have and always will. Fanatic are complete and utter idiots. But it's the best way to lose some weight and something Hoss and I can do together (and get him ready for his 5K -- and btw he hates running also just likes competing).
And I'm in the mood to prove to some dillweeds that I can actually lose weight. I know there are some out there since I've been at this since I gained the stinking weight and so far the only result is added weight.
So yeah, starting maybe tonight we will be doing this on top of the walking and biking.
TOTAL CRAZINESS!!!!!

Yep, I didn't

Sorry Walking Buddy, I totally just didn't get up this morning. I'm soo exhausted! Hoss, even tried to wake me (and I think he may have punched me at that) but I wasn't budging. Not so good of me I know but a month+ later, I'm still not used to this early morning bull. I can go on no sleep, stay up all hours and function normally but don't ask me to wake up earlier than my normal 7:30/7:45/8ish. It doesn't seem to work for me. But I'll try to keep sluggishing through it. I think after I complete my G-work tonight, I'll be hopping on the stationary bike to make up for it.

My not so normal Tuesday

So normally I would weigh in today but you know... that's just not happening. I snuck in a weigh in yesterday and decided we won't go there :) What can I say? Last week was all about vacation and my birthday!!!! We ate well and didn't exactly exercise. Now one day we did -- I biked for 20 minutes -- and we did do a good bit of walking. but let's face it, I gained weight and I'm not willing to admit how much.
So I started back in the walking this week and brought an new buddy!! Hoss has finally gotten up and going for a run while we walk. But so far we hadn't made it back up to our 2.5 much less the 3 we should be doing. Oh well. tomorrow determines if we have to move our time up or if school is going to mess with our routine. I'm hoping we will be good but we'll see.
Oh I did get a new dress that I can NOT wear. I know right! But it's gorgeous and I'm gonna have to use it to motivate myself to fit into it. I'll post a pic of it soon.
