ok ok ok ... :P

so i was told i need to post more often... i will really try to do that ... i really will, but no promises.

you can follow me on facebook (under my real name is most active) or twitter.com/losingjusme   right now, i'm better with short little bursts of stuff ... i also have a running blog as i've signed up for 2 half marathons and a full marathon... my first half is in AUGUST... eeeeeek!!!  the full is in December and 2nd half is March 2010.

so that means i am getting my ass back to the gym on a regular basis, i am filled to about 6 or 6.5 ccs in my band (going every other week for fills cause my doc is great!!), i think i have good restriction right now... i did get a small piece of pork chop stuck tonight ... it didnt cause sliming, etc, but it just wouldnt go down... so i took a gulp of crystal light and up it came... now i dont recommend doing this all the time, but if you're stuck ONCE IN AWHILE, i see no problem doing it... i will be on liquids my next 2 meals because of it...

my new running / training blog is   http://christinesrunning.blogspot.com   i will try to update both as much as possible... :)

oh... and today in particular sucks...

because today was the Disney Marathon... Rick and I were supposed to be running it today... **sigh**

yay...

30April08 training

from Nike+


not sure what my plan is for tomorrow. if i do anything, it will not be far, maybe a few times around the block.

sooooo... i think im f'ing nuts...

most know we adopted our very DD from China a few years ago...

what popped in my email this morning? an email with this url enclosed ... http://adopt.childrenshope.net/media/marathon_poster.pdf

Chicago - full marathon (no half option) 12 October... that gives me about 7 months to prepare for it... slowest speed i could do is a consistent 4 miles per hour. i can walk that (errr... could walk that before plastics)...

do i want to try? am i stupid for even thinking about it??

come on guys... i know you're out there ... tell me what you think!! :)

oh damn ...

no backing out now ... just registered DH and I for the 2009 Walt Disney World marathon ... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

race info here ...

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.

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.

hot damn!!

fastest mile yet ...

went running today...

I guess i had forgotten how incredible I feel after I run. it wasn't
really even running much, walking at 4.3 mph and then I did a 5.2 or
5.3 burst for a little bit.

WOW

fastest mile yet!

fuck again ...

i dont know if it is true hunger or head hunger but i want to eat everything under the sun...

EVERYTHING.UNDER.THE.SUN... really

so far, i've made OK choices. had a shake for breakfast (fucking 26 degrees here this morning), 14 almonds, more almonds, yup, more almonds maybe another serving of 28 total, maybe a tad more, tad less...

my pouch is full, but i am not... does that make any sense? nopers ...

and i am FUCKING FUCK FUCK cold... wearing long sleeved dress, workout jacket and a cardigan over that ... still cold.

i need to just suck it up and buy some tights or maybe just pantyhose (shudder) would help. yup, i have bare legs

it is SOOOOO TOM so i am hoping that is why my weight is up (270.4fuckyouverymuch!)

tired, crabby, fuck... i did run this morning. went a mile, my stupid nike+ thingy registered 1.5 miles ... fuck again

damn that felt good

off to run

yay

gobble gobble

on our way to the turkey trot.

it is very brisk outside. windy too. yay!!! not really.

didnt sleep worth a damn last night thanks to DH's snoring. I'd
finally get back to sleep and he would start up again.

you'd think he weighed 500 lbs based on his snoring.

ok must help look for food

maybe im not a runner..

week 3 of couch to 5K is not going well for me. :(

i did my 90 seconds of running, then my 90 seconds of walking and just couldnt do the 3 minute run. i dunno what it was / is... my calves cramped up like a mother and it hurt just to walk, much less run.

now, 3 hours later my legs are crampy, my feet need a REALLY good rub/massage and my right glute is achey... i did walk over 3 miles. 2 miles on the treadmill (31 mins) then i went to a new park to scope out the new trail. its a pretty good one that i will more than likely go to. it does have a slight incline, but i can deal with it. i did a lap (.298 miles) in 5:21.4. next time i will time the entire run/walk (ok, i walked 99.5% of the time). i may even go tomorrow ...

WTF????

i want to run ... i love the rush of running ... why wont my body cooperate?? and i'm not running fast at all ... 4.4 is my 'average'. i even dropped down the speed to 4.2 and i just couldnt do it.

so instead of c25k - this is what i did:
30 seconds running 4.2
1 min walking 3.5-3.9
45 seconds running 4.4
2 min walking 3.5-3.9
1 min running 4.4
2 min walking 3.5-3.9
1 min 15 sec running 4.4
2 min walking 3.5-3.9
45 secs running 4.5
cool down.

this is nowhere where i want to be ... NOWHERE... i am disappointed in myself and my will power (or lack there of..) im depressed. the one good thing - my eating was on target today! in fact, there are some "brownie bites" (that i bought this weekend and had 3-4ish), and didnt have any today! yay me.

i need to work on posting my food all the time - not just my good days ... **eye roll**

running gear

we went to Run On Dallas today.

bought a reflective top and some shorts. the top is a LADIES XL!!!!
wooo fucking hoooo!!!

first outdoor run - a bust

a combination of too many new things.. new shoes (tied too tight I
think), new trail, trail with slight inclines, DH and DD were with me,
too much of a distraction I think, I didnt properly stretch..

too many excuses. :( next time I need to just suck it up and run. I
feel like crap that I couldn't do it. I did get a nice mile walk in,
but that's not any consolation..
