This N That again

I've been pretty crappy at logging what I'm eating. I know that I'm staying within my calorie range (under 1400) for the most part.

I'm still working out most nights. I need to up my time in the gym. I'm planning on joining a gym within the next couple of weeks. The local gym has several classes that I want to take.

C25k ~ Week 6 ~ Day 1 ~ Couldn't run the whole time but I kept the pace for the most part. ~ 2.01 miles ~ Treadmill

Thinking my asthma may be why I haven't been able to run like I should.

May 31st

C25K ~ Week 6 ~ Day 1 (again) ~ 2.13 miles ~ Treadmill

I redid day 1 again because I felt that trying to do day 2 would be too much for me this week. I used my inhaler before running & it seemed to help. I was able to run the whole time I was scheduled to. I was also able to increase my distance again.

Jose Cuervo is not a friend of mine. LOL At least not 3 (double) shots
after half a bottle of Jack.

On the upside the amazing regurgitation powers of my stomach have brought me down another half a lb. LOL

So needless to say I didn't get to the gym last night.


And I promise to never touch Jose again.

My knee

God my knee hates me. It's popping, cracking & generally being bitchy. You'd think that I'd tore it up 20+ years ago. Oh wait I did.

I guess I should go to the doc & get it checked. But I know I need surgery. And I don't want to have surgery until I've lost the rest of my weight. It's a bit of a catch 22. *sigh*

I have to lose weight to stop the pain in my knee. Exercising to lose weight is causing pain in my knee. I guess I'll be dealing with the pain for a while longer.

I need to schedule things better. I screwed up my schedule for my C25K program. I usually run M/W/F, but I ran yesterday & it's advised not to do workouts on consecutive days. I have a hard time fitting a workout into my Tuesday schedule.


I'll figure it out I guess.

Introducing me

Hello all. This is going to be about my journey back to myself.

I'm a 34 year old mom to 4.

Somewhere along the line of 6 pregnancies and staying at home with the kid-lets, I lost myself & my body.

At my heaviest I weighed 223lbs, which on my smallish 5'6" frame was just too much. a little over 3 years ago I started working on losing some weight. I've lost 60lbs but I feel that I have another 30-35 to lose.


At this time I'm doing the Couch to 5k training program. I'm using Robert Ullrey's Assisted Workout and Training Mixes: http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/page4/files/category-7.html . I am planning to run in the "Susan G Komen Race for the Cure" in Nov.

As for diet, my number one thing has been to cut sodas out of my diet. I'm trying to incorporate more fruits into my diet by have a protein shake for breakfast most days.

My weightloss ticker:





I'll be using this blog to update my progress towards running a 5k.

Once I've officially registered for the 5k I'll post the link here.
