My internet access wasn't working so I had to wait for R to get home to use his computer and that made things weird.<br /><br />I made my goal! I really didn't think I would this week, because I've been eating a lot and not keeping track. To get myself motivated, I asked R to be in a contest with me to see who could lose 10 pounds first. It's easier for him to lose weight, but he had knee surgery, so I can get some advantage with exercise. So, here goes! The race to 10 pounds!<br /><br />4 breakfast: oatmeal 2, raisins 1, milk 1<br />4 Totalk2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708683865754308084.post-24377112947888027802010-08-07T06:57:00.001-07:002010-08-07T06:57:17.262-07:00185k2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708683865754308084.post-32586250671427382092010-08-06T06:56:00.000-07:002010-08-07T06:57:05.891-07:00185k2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708683865754308084.post-53082982447707010052010-08-05T06:57:00.000-07:002010-08-07T06:57:55.106-07:00184.5k2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708683865754308084.post-27299955995038421572010-08-04T19:15:00.003-07:002010-08-04T19:21:28.929-07:00185.51 mile. 11:51.k2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708683865754308084.post-50213482568812811752010-08-03T19:15:00.000-07:002010-08-04T19:16:55.882-07:00184.75k2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708683865754308084.post-57484133919580699792010-08-02T12:40:00.000-07:002010-08-02T12:45:39.188-07:00185.75Made goal!<br /><br />1.5 miles. 12:12 pace, 18:18 total<br />Up to the 1.25 point and back down the other .25<br /><br />4 oatmeal 2, milk 1, raisins 1<br />4 slim jim<br />5 potatoes 2, corn 1, butter 2<br />13 Totalk2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708683865754308084.post-51705103878545250122010-08-01T06:09:00.000-07:002010-08-02T12:40:06.040-07:00186.5Bummer! Okay, but not really. I was hoping for a pound per week, so I'm only looking for 185.75 tomorrow.<br /><br />Yesterday, I didn't meditate, didn't walk and ate a different breakfast.

No soreness that I didn't have already. (My hips and knees have been aching, but I don't think it's running related.)<br /><br />Long haul, long haul, long haul. I need to remind myself of this over and over. This is not something I'm doing for a month or so, it's long term. To reach my goal and lose a pound per week, I'm looking at a year long commitment. It's consistency that will count. Over the short term, it won't seem like much, but in 6 months it will feel amazing. <br /><br />Also, right now I'm just keeping track of what I eat, not necessarily trying to eat less. Of course, seeing it in black and white makes me more watchful, but if I want to eat right now, then eat away! Not spiraling into oblivion because I've "messed up" is a good goal to have and lesson to learn.<br /><br />4 breakfast: oatmeal 2, milk 1, raisins 1<br />7 lunch: bread 4, ham 1, cheese 1, apple 1<br />2 banana<br />25 dinner: bk cheeseburger 10, fries 8, hershey's sundae pie 7<br />38 Totalk2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708683865754308084.post-5540232998881412522010-07-29T06:25:00.000-07:002010-07-30T19:21:33.548-07:00184Got the walk in.

I am always surprised at how good running makes me feel. I really really love it. I tried something different today. I tried running with a quicker stride rate. It felt pretty good. When I got tired, I took smaller steps, but tried to keep the turnover rate the same.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1 mile 12:01</span><br />Great!

This Is A Secret!I'm going to be very unoriginal and start a blog about weight loss, fitness and general attempts to improve my life. I used to journal a lot as a teenager, but I don't feel secure in doing that anymore. I can't express everything freely knowing someone could just pick it up and read it. Hiding a journal seems weird. A blog may be read by anyone, but I don't see how anyone could know it was me and there are like 10 buzzillion of them anyway. Needle in a needle stack!<br /><br />My weigh-in this morning was 186.75. About what I expected. I'd like to try not to be spastic and lose weight gradually. I want to be in this for the long haul, instead of my usual "all on or all off" style. With that in mind, I've got a few small goals for the next few days.<br /><ol><li>Meditate. Also known as sit in the bathroom quietly for 2 minutes to relax. I can sit like I did in yoga class, using a folded towel to prop up my butt. I've set a watch timer for 2 minutes so that I don't have to pay attention to the time. This is a time for me to calm down not only in the morning, but when I feel out of control about eating. It simulates a smoke break for me. I have never really learned to live calmly without smoking. I know it's been over 8 years, but I've spent that 8 years eating to calm myself or being an absolute nervous wreck. It felt good this morning.</li><li>Exercise. Of course. I'd like to run regularly again. I sure don't want to do it right now :). Run Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, allowing for injury and soreness. My knees have been aching even without running, so I have to be kind to myself and start out at where I'm at. If I can't run a full half-hour, I can finish it out with walking. On the other days, I want to walk 30 minutes.</li><li>Keep track of food intake. For right now I don't want to limit food, just keep track. Every day and even if I have to estimate. Oh, how that hurts! I like to know exactly and I feel like quitting if I don't know <span style="font-style: italic;">exactly</span> how much I ate. I need to practice being okay with that.</li></ol>That's enough for now. I'll add in the exercise and food info later... Hey, this was a nice way to begin the day!k2k2toghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590183742703125423noreply@blogger.com
