wooooo an 18 minute mile.. LMAO

but i did get my ass to the gym.... 18:01 minute mile... i've NEVER gone that slow and going from a 13 minute to 18 minute, yeah, i'm kinda out of shape... **sigh** but it was my first time back in awhile and didnt wanna push it too much. next time, i'll go a tad faster.

my trainer saw me there and was like, wow, you really are alive... and pregnant! (yup, i'm showing) the cool thing is - i still fit in my XL workout pants... yay me!! ;)

but ... i do have to say ... Ho-Ho's are EVIL....

2.1 miles Tuesday

it was a very nice work out... not too tough, but i pushed myself. going to try to walk 3 miles today.

missed it by that much..

grrrrr. missed beating my fastest time by 5 seconds. I knew I was
close so I really kicked it up towards the end. I ended up running
the last 90 seconds at over 5.6 mph and the final 30 seconds at
6.0 mph!! OMG I thought my legs were going to fall off.

51 days

workout sucked

not rocked - SUCKED ...

i forgot my running shoes at home and didnt wanna go home to pick them up... so i used my aerobic shoes .. big mistake.

due to my fucked up toe, they were really tight and i could barely walk. so i did .25 on tmill and 3 on bike ... then i stretched, did a few crunches and then went grocery shopping ...

shitty workout.

oh well, at least eating is on track today.

will run tomorrow.

well fuck a duck

i am anxiously waiting for my plastic surgery, i just want to get it over with and start really living.

it is so pathetic how people view us fatties ... it seems everywhere i went this weekend, people would not look me in the eye. their eyes went directly to my gut. EVERYWHERE.I.WENT...

fuck fuck. get rid of this gut. its just not moving. i am running, i am walking, i am strength training, i am doing all i can fucking do and its not moving.

tonight is picture night, i really dont even want to take them. i guess im letting myself slip into a nasty depression. i dont want this. this fat fucking gut just has to go.

really.

it feels like i cant do this anymore. i am noticing small changes, but its no where near where i need them to be.

maybe when i was 400 pounds, i expected it, but now, it fucking hurts to see just staring at my gut. is it my imagination? i honestly dont think it is.

ok, i'll just stop rambling now. life fucking sucks sometimes.

hot damn!!

couch to 5K week 3

Terridoodle's avitar saying and my running

sigh...

this morning's run was hard. i just couldnt get going. i didnt want to run ... but i did. in fact, for the first time ever, my average speed was 4.0 MPH. walking at 3.7-4.0 and running at 4.4 - 4.7 MPH. i was on run 2 and i was already counting the 'runs' ...

i then did some leg and ab work. nothing too strenuous, but enough to keep me sweaty and gross. i am now exhausted. i dunno what it is. i woke up about 415am and just couldnt sleep. now i am having a difficult time keeping my eyes open.

and i 'gained' .25 lb. i know it is water or maybe sodium from the shrimp / crab last night ... but it still kinda bums me out.

DD and i are going to my hometown to visit my parents today. hopefully the seatbelt will fit well without the extension. last time i flew it was OK, but not much room. DH isnt going - he has to work. i hate that! dont know how much exercise i will be getting either. oh well, they havent seen me in awhile, so it will be nice. of course, i've only lost about 8 pounds since August, but i think i am more toned now. :)

mmmmm caffeine is kicking in from my caramel latte shake. it's just the right amount..

my challenge to myself for this weekend - try to not go into carb overload ... i packed my shakes for breakfast, will have nuts as my snack. maybe dad will take me for a steak ... yummmmy! but i wont hold my breath. they like to eat in or pizza or something ... yay... pizza. ick.

have a great weekend!

my legs freaking ache

Now I know why you really shouldn’t run every day. I normally run M/W/F but took DD to my work Monday for ‘twick or tweat’. So I ran yesterday morning and today so I could stay on schedule.

Daaaaaamn my thighs and calves are just so incredibly achey. The good news is, I can tell a muscular difference in my legs. My thighs are becoming rock solid.

On a different note, I made a consult appt with a plastic surgeon for my batwings. I also told them I wanted to discuss the LBL. I know I have quite a ways to go for the LBL, but I want to set a good goal weight.

Speaking of weight, I am now at my lowest 264.25 !! wooo hooooooo! 11.25 more pounds and I will be down a total of 150 pounds. My only wish is it would have happened in a year, but I can wish in one hand ….

Now all I need is to save $$$$$$ for my surgery (s) ….

ok ... back with the program - exercise 10/19

week 1 day 3 of the couch to 5 k program. i am progressively getting a tad faster. i dont know any other way to get my HR up. maybe an incline interval?? Monday i burned 14 cals a minute, Wed was 13.8, today was 13.2 so i dunno if my body is getting used to the running or what????

3o mins to do 1 3/4 mile - not bad at all... :)




after my run i did some ab work.
oblique crunchies - where i lay on floor, knees bent where my heels are as close to my bum as i can get them (not very) i lift my shoulders off the ground like a regular crunch but then i just go sideways and touch my ankle or calf with my hand ... go back and forth each hand. i did 2 sets of 30.

regular crunches - 2 sets of 15

pushups - 2 sets of 10 (yeah, i know) ... my arms were really sore from yesterday's workout though...

week 1 day 1 C-2-5K

i didnt think that podcast was ever going to end!! i did my first couch to 5K program today. that's 5 mins of warm up, 60 seconds running, 90 seconds walking and repeat that until you have 20 mins of running/walking then an additional 5 mins of cooling down/walking. 30 mins total.

it was nice, but damn my legs were just screaming!!

i took jachut's suggestion from LBT and went slower. i think the fastest i went was 4.2 MPH. i felt funny doing it though, but i dont think i would have been able to go as long not doing it.

11October work out

Ran - alternated 1 minute running (5.0 - 5.2 MPH) with 1min 45sec walking (3.7 - 4.0 MPH) 17:13
Bike - 11:19

Abs / Strength - 15:00
Stairmaster type thingy - 2:00

EXCELLENT workout. i loved it!!

14 Sept work out

wooo hooo ... new decade

worked out with Steph this morning for 1/2 session and did 1.75 miles on the elliptical. that stupid machine loves to kick my ass. but i love it. i was drenched when i was finished.

well, i made my goal that i set last week. today i hit 269 (and 5/8). i am just pleased as punch.

tonight i have my first lap band support meeting. i am really looking forward to it. hopefully, someone from i used to work with ... that would just be strange. i heard she's gained quite a bit since i left the department. she is actually the reason i started looking into the lap band so for that i am thankful.

i will post my pics of workouts later maybe.
