Ewwww...

I'm not doing well on either the eating or exercising front. I've got to change at least my eating habits. I can't afford not fitting into my pants. On Thanksgiving day, I will be running an 8K with a co-worker. I have not been running outside in a very long time (2 or more weeks) and can't stand running on the treadmill for long. It doesn't seem to give the same feeling for me. But, if I plan to make it 5 miles in a little over a month, I have to get my rear in gear! Since I don't have time to enter and look up foods, I might wind up just listing them in an entry like this. So for today: Breakfast: 2 slices potato bread toast with Strawberry Maple spread Lunch: leftover Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Bake from Tully's Afternoon: 5 fun size Hershey's chocolate bars Dinner: small salad w/Ranch dressing; cheesy lasagna (2 pieces); 1 glass Sangria, 2 glasses of wine.

School started yesterday so much of my gym time has now been sucked away from me. I will still try to go with my hubby but I know there will be time when I will not be able to go On the hundred pushup (modified for me) I just did day 1 of week 5. Wow, it is very hard. But who would have thought I could EVER do over 120 modified pushups in one day! Not me! So, once I am able to do 100, I will start working on the non-modified version. I'll be happy if I can do 10 of those.

I'm sick.

I have a horrible cold. I tried running but it didn't. So for now, working out is not possible.

I need to start running everyday. The heat is getting to me. I know that I can run a consecutive 3 miles but I haven't been able to in a few weeks. A co-worker and I are planning to run a 5K Friday. I hope it's not too hot!

Well, here's to another new start

I'm trying to lose about 30 pounds total to be at my 'healthy' weight. At the moment, I look pudgy but not necessarily 'fat'. I can do everything I need to do on a daily basis but my doctor isn't happy with what she sees. I have also inherited high cholesterol (yay) and am likely to develop diabetes (double yay) because of my genes. So there is definitely a need for me to do this. If you're interested in being my gym buddy, please feel free to add me. I won't discriminate as long as you're not negative! I lead a busy lifestyle as a teacher and part-time grad student and am looking forward to the summer!
