Insane

We did the Insanity workout for three days and on Friday, I had such muscle pain that I just couldn't do it.  So, we took a break.  Unfortunately, that break lasted through Sunday.  My weigh in wasn't good, 211.4 pounds.  We started Insanity backup this morning.  I have the 5K in less than 4 weeks but it is really hard to run after completing that workout.  I'm not sure how to get that done.  I tried today and couldn't run really at all.  I just walked at a an incline for a while.  Maybe I'll have better success on the days Insanity doesn't focus on the legs.

MIA

Sorry I was MIA.  I had a cold, then food poisoning, and I"m just getting over the cold now.  Sunday I weighed in at 211.8 pounds.  Still 3.2 pounds above where I should be.  This morning I started the Insanity workout program with my husband.  We get up before 5am to do it, so he can be done by then and get to work on time.  I really, really want to stick with this.  I still need to do my running, so hopefully I can make all of this work.  My plan is to run after the Insanity workout.  If that doesn't work, I'll need to find other times to run.  I promised a friend we'd run the 5K on March 24th in less than 40 minutes!  I still haven't run a full mile on the Couch to 5K program.  I'll be starting that up again tomorrow and hope to pick up on week 5 workout 1. 

Weigh ins

Yesterday I was 212.2 pounds and this morning, for the official weigh in, I am 211.4 pounds.  So, I still need to lose 3 pounds this week to get back on track.  And, I'm still sick.  Awesome.

Sorry

Sorry, I didn't post yesterday.  I am really feeling sick as a dog.  At my weigh in yesterday morning I was 213.2 pounds and this morning I was 212.8 pounds.  Yesterday I had a large latte, a bagel with peanut butter, pistachios, greek yogurt, OJ, taco salad with tortilla chips, and a little bit of ice cream.

I probably won't post much over the weekend besides my weigh ins.  I'm going to focus on resting to kick this cold or flu or whatever it is.  I didn't run this morning but I am hoping I feel well enough tomorrow to do it. 

I highly doubt I'll make my weigh in on Sunday so I'll be posting my food consumption next week and I promise to be more diligent about it then.

No way

I feel like crap.  Really sore throat, cough, runny nose, and sneezing like crazy.  I went to Book Babies at the library this morning and as I walked up to the desk, they put up the sign that they were out of tickets.  Awesome.  At the doctor's office this afternoon, I found out, while in the exam room waiting for the doctor, that the insurance company has no record of me.  Our new policy was supposed to be in effect 2 weeks ago.  Awesome.  I ate poorly today.  Awesome.  Luckily, my time with the little one was WONDERFUL and I got my run in this morning.  It was really difficult, but I'm proud.  It seems to be that way each time.  Workout 2 week 5 complete.

PS I'm not posting my food today, see "I ate poorly today" above.

Weigh In Day 4

213.8 pounds.  Again.  That sucks.  I knew I ate too much spaghetti last night.  At least I'm up early and ready to run.

Food - Day 3

I had part of my son's waffle (everyday it seems).  Then for my breakfast, I had a bagel thin (less calories than a real bagel) with natural peanut butter that seems to taste so much better than regular peanut butter.  I then had pistachios for my morning snack, leftover chinese food for lunch, and greek yogurt for my afternoon snack.  I had milk with leftover spaghetti for dinner and I ate too much of it.  Then I had tea and some chocolate after dinner.  I had orange juice throughout the morning and evening.  It seems to make my throat feel better.  Unfortunately, I'm severely missing fruits and vegetables from today's diet.

Workout update

I completely forgot to write about my workout yesterday.  I completed workout 1 of week 5.  It was hard but good!  I'm looking forward to tomorrow's!

Weigh In Day 3

212.2 pounds this morning.  That makes me feel better.  Although, I didn't eat very much yesterday.  I hope Monday's weight was a fluke and today's is more in-line with reality.

Food report day 2

I had a few bites of my son's waffles, quite a bit of OJ, an energy bar before my run, and a banana and peanut butter after my run.  I had a salad, a piece of garlic bread, and spaghetti for dinner.  I had tea and a bit of chocolate after dinner.

Unpleasant weigh in

It said 213.8 pounds this morning.  I guess I ate more snacks at the party yesterday than I thought.  I also woke up this morning with a terrible cough, a stuffed up nose, and watery eyes.  Super.

Food for today

I had pancakes and bacon with milk and orange juice for breakfast.  For a snack I had pistachios and a coke.  I had various snacks at the super bowl party including chips and queso and crackers and crab dip.  I also had about 1.5 beers.  Not healthy food, but not a ton of food either.  Tomorrow I'd like to eat healthier.

Weigh In Day

212.6 pounds.  I didn't lose the 2 pounds I was going for.  So, daily weigh ins and reporting my food intake on here.  That should be interesting with the Super Bowl party today with fabulous food.

Catch up

I forgot to write about my workout on Wednesday.  I did it in the morning and I completed the whole thing.  It was really rough, but I finished.  Today I did workout 3 of week 4.  I changed up the speed work to start out for the first 3 minutes and I ran at 6mph for the last minute of the workout.  I think I'm just going to focus on running for an extended time at 5mph from now on instead of also trying to increase my speed.  I need to be able to run 3.1 miles for the 5K on March 24th.  I'm on schedule to do that, but running faster for longer at the beginning of every workout is going to start interferring with my couch to 5K progress.
I was feeling really confident in my progress this week because I've kept up the running and I was banking a lot of steps (I use the bodybugg to track calories and steps).  But, I worked long, stationary hours on Thursday and Friday and I got on the scale this morning and it was bad.  Tomorrow is the official weigh in.  If I didn't lose the two pounds I set out to lose this week, then I'll start tracking all of my food on here for the next week and I'll be weighing in every day.
