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... ... ...

NO MAS!!!

OMG! I hate it, I hate it, I HATE IT!
Reminder: never run 2 days in a row. Reminder: NEVER RUN AGAIN!
Ok so I may be touchy on this subject but this morning reminds me of why I have always hated running. I can barely walk. Needless to say I did not walk this morning and I just remembered I was supposed to weigh in and I didn't. grrr... Calves are fine no problem. Even my ankle is holding up but in the front of my stupid legs near that stupid bone (or what feels like a bone -- I barely made it biology and barely passed) hurts to no end.
But guess what -- I did it! Day 1 of Week 2 which was 90 secs of jogging and 2 minutes of walking. But our mistake was doing it the day after finishing up Week 1 -- no break. Silly people :)
Looks like tonight I have to bike to make up for the no walking. I'll weigh in tomorrow :( and go on about my business fighting this running stupidity all the way.

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
