How to lose weight...

I have finally found the way to lose weight... don't eat!!!!!! This curious phenomenon is brought about by finding out that your Husband of almost 13 years wants out... and has truthfully not been happy for many, many years... because you infuriate him, and to generalize... because of who I am. I am eating a little bit, but truthfully the thought of most food makes me want to puke. I expect this to ease up in the coming weeks, but right now... I really just don't want to eat.

This is hard!

So, made it to the track this morning. Week 2 so far is very hard for me, if it isn't easier by Saturday when I go again, I will most likely repeat the week. I would rather repeat a week, then to burn out and stop. I also think I should start using the elliptical on my off days from the track. I wouldn't push myself too hard, but I think it would be good to just get on for 30-40 minutes... with the pace of a fast walk.

My eating is a bit off right now, I'm just so tired throughout the day, that I am not eating at normal times. I actually crashed on the couch for a few hours this afternoon when we got home. I'm not sure why I was so tired, but I could barely function. Hopefully I get some of my energy back soon.

Started Week 2 today!

I decided to take the plunge and start week 2 today... man was it hard! LOL I almost made the decision to stick with week 1 again this week, but figured I could at least give week 2 a try. I did complete it, but it was hard... very hard. Hopefully I feel comfortable enough with week 2 by Friday that I can start week 3 next week.

I did not make it to Yoga today, my Nanny is away this week, and I would not have had time to feed the kids before heading to the Y to drop them off at the daycare. We usually get home between 11:30 and 11:45, and I would have had to be at the Y (7 minutes away) by 12:05 to get the boys settled in the daycare... just not near enough time to eat and run. Next week I will be back though.

Another run done.

I got another Week 1 of the C25K done today. I may end up doing Week 1 again next week, as I am finding that I am having to push myself really hard for this. Which in some ways is sad, but I know that I haven't exactly been the picture of fitness the last few years... just hadn't realized it was this bad. The run consists of eight 1 minute runs, with 90 second walks between each run. It shouldn't be this hard.... should it?

So, even though I got my iPod to connect to my i-nike the other day, I couldn't get it to connect at the track? I'm starting to get a little annoyed, why will it work here at home, but not at the track? If I can't get it to work Friday when I go, I will exchange it for another one to see if it works better.

Yoga

So, I made it to the Yoga class yesterday. The teacher was, well, a little odd LOL. Not quite sure what to make of her yet. The exercises were a little different than I have done before, but it still felt good. Hopefully once I am used to the teacher, it will work out better.

Tomorrow I am off to the track for a run, then in the afternoon I will be taking one of my boys to the swimming pool. Although that won't really be much of a work out!

Yoga, here I come!

So, I called up the local YMCA today to see if they still had spots available in the Monday afternoon Yoga class... they had 7!!! So, as of Monday, I will taking a 1.5 hour yoga class every week for 3 months! I have taken Yoga classes in the past, and really enjoyed them. I remember how much better my flexibility got in a very short amount of time, and how much more relaxed I was. And trust me, I need something to relax me LOL. The boys know how to get my stress to peak easily LOL.

Last week as I was waiting for Little Man's prescription, Bug wanted to know what the blood pressure machine did. So, I put my arm in and showed him. Well, that first reading was 159/135!!! Yes, I did not rest for a minute before taking the reading, but still... WOW. 10 minutes later I took it again, and I was back to my normal of 91/62.

I made it out today.

I made it for a run this morning, came very close to backing out since the boys had me up at 5:30am! I still did Week 1 of the C25K. For some strange reason I couldn't get my nike-ipod thing to work, so I don't have that to upload. I can tell you that I ran for a total of 8 minutes, in 60 second intervals. I was on the track for a total of 35 minutes. I am going to be working on the schedule for my Nanny tonight, and will make sure that I have time to get in 3 runs next week. I would really like to finish Week 1!
