I didn't go for my walk/run thing today. I was given advice by some coworkers (nurse) that I should give my leggypoos some rest as I had some yucky shin-splints today. So I did take her advice and plan on going tomorrow instead.
I did stick to my food plan today though, so that's a plus!
I also plan to go food shopping tomorrow after work at some point. I spent some time putting together my list...lots of fruits & veggies! I'm on a pretty tight budget right now so its kinda good that I can only afford to buy what I need. (If your interested, you can read about my debt dilemma on my other blog here).
Hope your having a great day! I'll check in tomorrow, I'm sure!

Starting Weight & Goal Weight
I figure I should probably post my current stats as well as goals. I am at my highest wait, ever. I am really not all that comfortable with sharing this but I feel like I should put it out there in black & white.
Starting Weight (highest EVER)- 159.5 lbs. (Maybe my scale is broke?! But I doubt it!)
My lowest weight was 109ish lbs about 3 years ago. Last year I broke my foot (NWB for 3 months!) and REALLY let myself go.
Mind you, I am a short thing, 4 feet 10.75 inches to be exact. This weight is in no way acceptable to me. NOT GOOD!
BUT... that is why I am here. It's time for change.
My ultimate goal is to be 99 lbs. Double digits. And no, this is not a crazy goal. 99lbs is well within "healthy" limits for a short girl. My little weight loss ticker-thing (over to the left) goes as low as 100lbs, so 100 lbs it is folks.
Now to my short term goals to be achieved by 7/27/10:

Now to my short term goals to be achieved by 7/27/10:
- To not huff & puff after a 15 minute walk/run thing.
- Stick to my eating plan (+/- 1200 calories a day, or so).
- To weight 153 lbs (ie lose 6 lbs).
I Did It!
So I did it! I went for my walk/run thing today. I just got back actually.
My intent was to go this morning but I had such a horrible time getting to sleep. So I did it this afternoon, instead of backing out.
I'm glad I went.
I was able to realize how out of shape I am. I didn't last long, I'll tell ya that right now.
I think it was my approach though. I started out working up to a brisk walk and then to a jog/run (wayyyy to quickly, like within a minute or two....bad idea). I was gone a whole 15 minutes...pathetic I know.
But hey it's a start.
I just couldn't breathe anymore. It was annoying because my body was still going strong, but my lungs couldn't hang.
Oh well. Next time.
Tomorrow when I go I am going to walk for most of the time and run the last bit so my lungs don't hate me so much.
But again, I'm glad I went. 15 minutes is better than 0 minutes.

Tomorrow is a New Day
What a great, successful New Year's Resolution this was... NOT!!! So, no more excuses. Tomorrow is a new day. This time I'm really going to make a better effort. I am going to start going for a walk/jog/run (whatever I can) first thing in the morning before I go to work. Getting up even earlier (than I have to) will be hard, but I think this is my best bet, especially before it gets too hot out there! I feel positive and motivated to do this. I hope it sticks.
