Week 3 Day 3 - C25K

I can't believe I actually motivated myself to exercise at 9:20 at night. I had been planning on doing it tonight for most of the day and I ended up putting it off until then. Right now I am so glad I did it. I had an off plan weekend. Not much journaling and too many peanuts. I had to make ammends.

I watched SITC so 1/2hr (90/90 and 3/3). Carrie told Aidan, Aidan broke up with her, Charlotte got married, Miranda was a stewardess and Samantha got to peek underneath a kilt.

Just remembered.... for a change, today I actually noticed how many miles I jogged. 1.7!

Week 3 Day 2 - C25K

I watched Gilmore Girls today. So that means I did 45min. I started the program at 25min and did the same as last time (90s/90s + 3min/3min, repeat). 3.5 APs. I feel good. That's all.

Week 3 Day 1 - C25K

As I read the instructions for this week's routine I noticed that I didn't do last week's right. I was supposed to alternate 90sec jogging and 2min walking. So I ended up getting more jogging in. I don't think that's a bad thing tho.

This week it was 90sec/90sec then 3min/3min then repeat. So I ended up jogging for a total of 9min and walking for 21min. 2.5 activity points. It wasn't that hard. I'll be jogging the whole thing before you know it.

Watched SITC again. Natasha fell on the stairs and knows about the affair. Carrie and Big are once again over.

just a quick WW update.....

I have lost a total of 25lbs as of today's weigh-in. Yay me! I'm half way to where I want to be.

Week 2 Days 2 & 3 - C25K

I couldn't get onto this site yesterday so I'm doing 2 in 1.

Day 2: I watched Gilmore Girls again. 40min. Much the same as Day 1. Had to stop with 30 seconds left because Nick needed help on the potty. Kind of ironic that they had a dialog in the movie about why we insist on calling it the "potty", is going to the bathroom too hard for kids to say? I see no problem with potty. I'm pretty sure I use bathroom with Anna, so it doesn't take long to transition over. They won't be saying potty in college, no worries.

Day 3: Back on SITC. 30min. Started the routine at 25min and ended at 5min. The DVD started skipping during the last minute or so. That was frustrating. I've tried everything to clean it, but I don't even see any scratches on it. It's brand new for crying out loud! I tried it on my computer too but no luck. Aiden says something about trying not to be paranoid. But I know she doesn't tell him about Big yet, that doesnt' happen until Charlotte's wedding.

This blog is starting to be more about the shows than it is about exercise. What can I say about the exercise tho? It's not that exciting. But I feel good!

Week 2 Day 1 - C25K

the schedule for this week is 90min/90min for 20min. I ended up jogging for 11min and walking for 19min. That earned me 2.5APs. So I can have 1.5 glasses of wine tonight for free!

Today Carrie cheated on Aiden for the first time. So very sad.

I pretty much maintained at weigh in on Tuesday. I lost 0.2lbs. But at least I didn't gain! So now the total is 22.4lbs. So far I've been having a good week. But a good week can only be judged by how good the weekend is.

Week 1 Day 3 of C25K

I tried to do it right this time. I still did 30 min but I started with a 5:00 min warmup then alternated the 60min/90min until there was 5:00 left. It was a good SITC episode. Big is back in the picture (no cheating yet), Miranda broke it off with Steve (again), Charlotte found her future husband (if only it would last) and Samantha got her period. Good times, good times.

Tomorrow is weigh in day. I expect a gain. Just so you know. I may not report anything. I had a hard time staying focused this weekend. It's amazing how one night of partying can really mess up a number of days. But I'm back on track today. Go me!

Week 1 Day 2 of C25K

I just re-read the directions for C25K and realized I'm not following the plan exactly right. It says: "Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes." I didn't do the brisk 5min warmup. Wonder if that's ok. Guess I'll continue on continuing on.

So nothing new really, just did the same as yesterday. Watched another SITC episode. Next episode is when she cheats on Aiden with Big for the first time. sigh. I hate to see her do that all over again. Guess it wouldn't have been as entertaining if she had just stayed happy with Aiden.....

Oh and to answer Becky's question on my last entry, yes, still at 22lbs lost. Actually it's 22.2 now. I was up .6 one week then down .8 the next. I'm trying to buckle down this week. I've had two bad weeks, I need a good one. It'll be tough tho because I have a busy weekend. But this is an ongoing thing. I've got to overcome the obstacles. I'm not discouraged by how slow this is going, I'm actually looking at it in a positive light. I'm going to be doing this the rest of my life, if I lose the way I currently am eventually I will be where I want to be. The problem isn't with the rate of loss, it's when I give up. I can't give up. If I have a bad week, I try to follow it up with a good one.

Day 1 of Couch to 5K

I started the Couch to 5K today. It was really easy and made me wonder why I have been putting it off. I started at 30min and walked for 1.5min then jogged for 1min. I alternated until I hit 20min. That's the plan's schedule. It was far too easy but I want to follow the plan. I walked for the remaining 10min. The hardest part of the whole thing was trying to figure out which Sex in the City episode I was on. I earned 2 activity points.
