So it's been almost a month since I've blogged on here and probably longer since I've exercised.
Right before I stopped, I went to the doctor. Everything checked out fine and no news about the tiredness, so I took a break to see if that's the problem. And I believe we have a winner. I'm still exhausted a lot but not needing the nap as much. Guess I was burning both ends of the candle.
But I've got to get back on the wagon again. I liked what excerising was doing to my insides even if I wasn't actually losing weight. All my blood work came back great when usually it's a struggle with the cholesterol and a few other things.
So Hoss and I talked - ok I talked he grunted - and I think I'm going to go with 3 days a week walking at the crack of dawn (yeah lets see how long I last at that with stupid cold weather) and ride my bike the other days.
I don't know yet about the C25K, may look back at that in the spring when it starts to warm up and Hoss starts to slow down with officiating. But that could change next week for all I know.
Made a personal goal to start cooking more -- soo not happening. I don't know why besides Hoss doesn't like to do dishes but next month we are getting a dishwasher so maybe I'll cook more.

Who wants to participate
We have gotten off on our week to day system but that's ok. Yesterday we started Week 4. I know I said I was going to stay on Week 3 until I felt more comfortable with it but nope couldn't do that. I knew I would just stay on Week 3 and never move past it. So I pushed on ahead.
This week we are doing jog a lap walk 200 jog 2 laps walk a lap and repeat. OMG! I didn't complete it because Hoss was cramping but I totally jogged my 2 laps. And then was able to complete another lap, I just didn't do the final 2 laps. But next time I will! Ok I will attempt. Hoss wasn't doing too hot so I quit early when he finished he two rotations.
Went to the doctor yesterday. He didn't give me any advice concerning the weight loss attempt (boo!) but whatever. I did talk to him about the sleepiness/exhaustion and now I'm just waiting on blood work to be read to see if there is something there or something else.
I liked his scale better than mine but not much better. It showed some weight loss but nothing significant enough for me to be happy about. The nurse suggestion was the old building muscle but couldn't explain the tightness of ALL my pants.
So I guess I'm gonna have to break down and start some kind of livet (Hoss's word for diet because really who want to participate in something with die in it) grumble grumble grumble... I hate those things because I don't eat veggies and that's what they want. But first I'll start with cooking more from home and then work my way up to the real deal :) (because maybe if I procastinate enough I won't have too!)

I did it!!!
OMG!!! I actually ran two laps! actually 3 in total and not at once but two full laps :) Week 3 was 200 run/200 walk 400 run/400 walk and on day 3, I finally did it!!
And I biked yesterday evening and walked this morning. Looks like we are back on track :) I go to the doc Thursday for a BP checkup and I'm gonna talk to him about the weight gain and the tiredness that I've been experiencing. Not looking forward to that conversation.
But back to C25K, I'm gonna stick with Week 3 for at least another week and see if I can comfortably do Week 3.
Let ya know next week :)

Good idea, bad idea
Good idea: trying to take on the Couch to 5K. Really, it is -- lose a little weight, get in a better shape (not quite so round =D), spend time with my awesome hubby. The list could go on!
Bad idea: trying to take on the Couch to 5K. Seriously, it sucks! Yesterday I attempted Week 3 Day 1 -- MAJOR MISTAKE! I was sick sinus-wise yesterday morning and not really feeling better but surely I could tough it out. We had a busy night so as soon as Hoss came home we went out. MAJOR PROBLEM! 6:45 is apparently THE TIME to go to ASH and it was CROWDED! Did I mention I get run-shy when there are people around especially the stupid CrossFit people (They are BEASTS!) It's stupid I know but I feel judged. So instead of doing to round of jog 200/walk 200, jog 400/walk 400... I did 2 200 sets and quit.
Yes, it pains me to say, I QUIT. I felt bad but I couldn't do it. Between wanting to throw up and all the people (did I mention kids on scooters and bikes on the track WT!!) and the skeeters and life in general, it just wasn't working for me. Not that I felt (or anyone else for that matter -- kind of sucks if you think about it) that I could even do a single 400.
So Wednesday we will try Day 2 and see what happens. It WILL be at night (say 8ish) and might have to snag Hoss's iPod and go that route. Still hate that I quit but it's done.
Now I just have to move past this feeling that I need to throw up -- I might just be sick :(

Help me!!
I'm beyond discouraged here. I'm what 2 months in and that stupid scale says I've gained all the weight lost plus some and that's with a new battery!
What's the point of doing all this walking and even running if there is no change.
Yes, the scale is just a small part but my clothes are still not fitting. Put on a skirt today and can't zipped the stupid thing up all the way. Before I could! No where else have I noticed a difference in my clothes (good or bad).
Seriously this is stupid if that's how it's gonna be. Why slave away trying to do the right thing if it doesn't make a difference.
Yep, I feeling the urge to quit.
Yesterday, Hoss and I did the last day of Week 2 of C25K -- shouldn't have been hard but we were both HURTING!! I didn't think I would make it, then I didn't think Hoss would make it to the car! I have this HUGE knot in my calf and I was totally limping on my walk this morning. But other than calves and shins area, the running hadn't been as bad as it used to be. Still hate it.
It was funny though, Sunday I was in soo much pain in my legs especially the thighs and Hoss said I was having running withdrawals! Whatever... but maybe he was right :)
Don't know when or how we'll complete Week 3. Was hoping to start tonight but Hoss seems to be working and it would be 2 days in a row running but this weekend is full again and I'm not sure when we could complete it. Oh well guess it really doesn't have to be completed in a 7 day period, just completed... right?

This sucks!
It's been a long week already. And it's not been good on exercise front. I've only walked 2 times, did the C25k 1 time and haven't biked yet.
Maybe the stupid scale effected me more than I thought. Which btw Hoss said the scale was in fact wrong -- weighed one of our pups in at 60 lbs!! She's soo not 60 lbs (I hope!) So before Tuesday I'll be off to get a new one.
One leg is still hurting me from the jogging and Hoss is now getting a little sick and frankly I'm not caring about this adventure anymore. Maybe it's the lack of consistant excerise this week but I'm cranky and restless.
I know this - I'm not meeting my goals this week. Can we fast forward to Monday??

Bully for you
The scales are a bully and I no longer trust them!
It's a lie I tell you... a lie!!!!!
Stupid thing said I've not lost any weight and I've gained all the weight I lost plus some.
So I'm gonna regroup and take my measurements have use that also! Measurements will not be posted though. Sorry, that's a little much even for me.
And I'm going to lie to myself and say it's because I didn't weigh in on the same day at the same time this week like I always do because surely an hour and half and a day later makes such a difference in my weight... ... ...
