Here we go again

I've been in the mood for running. Ok so not running really but exercising with my hubby and he would rather run if he HAS to exercise. So Saturday after he officiated when we went and bought me some real running shoes. And by the amount we spent, we HAVE to go running. Yep I was looking for a pair for about $40 or so; he spent twice that amount. So today if it's not raining, guess who has to go running... US!
I have my new phone with an app and music and I'm going to start over on the C25K with a new app that is actually called Ease into 5K by someone else but reads the same way but will tell me when to stop and start so Hoss isn't yelling at me and getting funny looks.
So we'll try this again and see what happens.
I truly enjoyed our first go round with it because it was a good time to talk to him and be by ourself. But then we just stopped and never picked it back up. I want to get him in shape for his officiating camps and if I benefit -- AWESOME :)

It's a new year

New year, new you. Hear and see that all the time around this season. I get it, always good to start things at a beginning or start of a new week. Personally, I find that leads me to constantly putting it off. That being said, looks like Hoss and I are going to try it.
Last week we had our first salad ever. Spinach, carrots, raisins and mine had nuts and a vinegarette. Yesterday I made the same just added apples and chicken. Yep, threw that sucker back up. But my tummy was already queasy. Hoss today had a Sammy with spinach on it without me having to ask him yet didn't do that for me. So baby steps on the rabbit food.
Got back on the bike yesterday and did 2 15 min intervals. Hopefully next week we can pick back up on running. We both hate but realize it's an easy way to get in shape. So we'll see.

dum dum dum

So I am going to the doctor today and will have the obvious weigh in. Be interesting to see what the weight is.
I was going to jump back on the bad wagon for exercising what three months ago? Totally didn't do it. Still hadn't done it. Possibly won't do it.
So we'll see what happens in about an hour.

**Update**
Appointment canceled. Oh well, hadn't been in two years what's another two months. Guess I could weigh in at the house... nah

Wow

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 :(
