c25k week one graduation!

I woke up before my alarm again today. Nervous like it was the first day of school. Butterflies in my stomach. Thoughts rushing through my head. I quietly get up and put on my sweats, my favorite hoodie and my tennis shoes. I kiss my husband and ask him to take care of the dogs […]

What CK had to say today…

CK = Calorie King.

This is an excerpt I read about self sabotage (interesting that read this today considering my last two days..cowinky dinky?)

Self-sabotage is when you think and act in ways that clearly stop you from achieving your goals. This often happens when you’ve already proved that you do have what it takes […]

!$%&@*!

This is just about the only way I can express my c25k attempt today. After yesterdays emotional whatever-you-want-to-call-it, I really wanted to get out there and show myself that today was going to be a different day…

Oh how wrong I was.

A little background story: I live in what could be considered a white […]

The picture says it all…

This is what I looked like during my couch to 5k run / walk this morning. I’m not sure what happen but it went down something like this:

I got up this morning at 7am ( a little cranky from watching the season premier of LOST) and promptly got on the […]

Snooze button x 3 Part II

<end Jeopardy music>

Okay so where was I…Oh yes, so I got up and did that damn c25k walk/run this morning. Today’s program felt better than yesterday. I actually felt like I was running. My strides were longer and less awkward. Not every cycle mind you but I had at least three cycles that felt […]

Snooze button x 3

On certain days of the week I get home kind of late. Usually 11:30ish. Two months ago I would be giddy with anticipation because my husband would be in bed and I could have free reign of the computer to play World of Warcraft until the wee hours of the morning. Checking my inventory, flying […]

Calorie intake for Feb 1st 2010

I am on a 1580 / day calorie intake. Some days I come in way under and some days I just eek by. I’ve only gone over a significant amount a few times since starting this life change. Today I will end the day with 1494/1580. My meals today included a ziploc baggy full of […]

Well Hello there Monday…

I woke up bright and early this morning (30 minutes before the alarm) and laid in bed thinking about running my c25k. I took Saturday off and then started the first week again on Sunday. It’s funny how a little change can really impact your thought processes. 2 months ago the first thing I would […]

This is pretty freaking cool!

I know this guy. Not in real life. I know him virtually. His name is Tyler. Last year (January 2009) he looked at himself in the mirror one day and didn’t like what he saw. At 344 pounds he made a commitment to himself to lose weight. […]
