Diets, Food and Everyday Life!

First off my calf is feeling better, the last time I worked out I hurt it and it was way past sore I couldn’t step down on my left leg for like a day and a half. So I am going to be running again today wish me luck.

I am down to 154.4 so maybe a few days off is exactly what I needed.

In fact I am sure I need to make sure I am eating enough food durring the day so I am going to be following this diet guideline. If you would like to have this in excel let me know and I will send it over.

So I guess if I am going to refer to myself as a runner or jogger then at some point I must injure myself. I think that time has come.

So this weekend I got new shoes, running shoes and running since I got them has been painful. I figured I was just getting used to them, but last night I think I pulled my calf muscle. Today my left calf muscle hurts to extend it, and if I want to work out tonight I think I am going to go to the gym and use the bike instead of staying home on the treadmill. I have been taking tylenol and I am determined that I will not let this effect me long term. I will cool it until Sunday/Monday at the most and if I feel better sooner get back into it sooner.

The old me would have stopped working out and it would be six months before I got back on the treadmill at all. That will not happen this time. I don’t want to look like this anymore.

Let me just mention that this weight loss stuff confuses me to no end. So for two weeks I eat like an angle and work out 5 days a week. This weekend I didn’t “workout” at all, I did clean and stuff. But I got bad sleep, went to parties (didn’t drink), ate pizza and cookies and wedding food and cake.

And I lost a pound!

I am hoping to really kick it off this week, if I am starting the week off at 157 and I am good maybe I could drop 2 pounds this next week. That would put me at 155! and still in October. I am still loving running, in fact I am loving it so much that I am thinking about taking a beginning running class. I think I should start taking some classes and getting out to meet people.

If only I was rich it would make everything so much better!

The main problem with my weight loss is that I am seditary, I work on a computer all day behind a desk. Just think about what if all of that was active time for me?
That is why I must have this Mini Exercise Bike, from Brookstone.

Next up, what is a great full body exercise check out this fold away row machine! Emily this one is for you.

So the dogs have been out of control last night and the night before, I’m tired and my back hurts. The night before last Jonny Cash, my baby dog, had a terrible cough all night I think it’s allergies. I gave him some water last night and he stopped right away which would indicate to me that it’s not that serious, he has be vaccinated for kennel cough and takes his heart worm medicine every month.

I have been doing ok on my diet, it’s the week before TOM so I am having cravings this week and being crazy emotional. I had this whole break down yesterday and cried and it was just nuts.

Oh the scale front I am thinking of setting aside one day each month and weighting myself only then, once a month. The rest of the month focusing on taking care of myself and working out properly, i don’t want this to be a thing for weight only I want this change to last my entire life. So out with the scale!

Just for the added effect i am screaming right now.

I don’t know what is wrong with my, why is it so freaking hard to loose weight I mean really this is F@#@ED up! I have been doing good, following a good diet between 1200-1300 calories for a few weeks now and I am STILL, I repeat STILL at 159. I swear to God this is awful. When doctors say crazy shit like the older you get the harder it is they are not kidding like the laws of physics say I should be down weight and yet once again. FUCK! still 159

What the hell what am I going to do just loose .25 of a pound a week this is totally messed up.

This week I jogged more than I ever have in my whole life. On Tuesday I did 20 minutes, Wed 25 minutes, Thurs 25 minutes this was straight jogging time. Each time I walked/jogged for a total of 35 minutes. I am going to try 20 minutes straight at least 4 days next week. D and I are planning a bike ride probably about 7-10 miles on Sunday so that makes me active at least 5 days a week.

I have to somehow find it in me to keep this up.

Today we have two subjects, both about weight! I will start of with the bad and then the good.

There has now been confirmation that I am not the only woman this happens to . . . my weight gets in the way of me getting off when having sex. There I said it out loud(kind of), and I think this is a two point thing. D and I have both put on 30lbs since we first started dating and I feel disgusting. When he’s eating me out all I can think of is him looking up at my belly and huge double chin! It’s so gross. The second part of this is when I ride him I used to be able to get off and with both of us having bellies I don’t think my clit is making the connection it needs to for me to get off. D was the first guy that I ever got off with and now because I’m a fat cow I can’t do it without aid, it freakin sucks!

The GOOD!
Last night I ran for 25 minutes continuously, yes it was only at 4.5 but it was something. I also walked for an additional 10 for a total of 35 minutes, tonight I am going to try to do it again. My goal is to do it every night this week and then add 5 minutes next week. I have to remind myself to take it slowly. Hopefully I will be getting off in no time at all!

So I got on the scale today and it said 163, I totally hate the scale. Last Monday I was under 160. There is no way that I stayed between 1200-1500 calories a day and gained 3lbs? WTF!

I could scream, I hate weight I hate being fat. IT REALLY EFFECTS MY SEX LIFE! I just can’t handle this.

On a good note, yesterday I took a 6 mile bike ride it was a lot of fun. Although note to self I need a new seat! D bought me a new bike and it totally rocks. If you make weeks monday thru Sunday that would mean I worked out 5 days last week. I am totally stoked. Although I don’t feel like it I’m just going to keep going. UGH!

So the new Job went well today. I lost a pound now I’m down under 160, and it’s just the beginning. I am getting ready to put my work out shoes on and walk to treadmill for 30 hour or so start boosting up my activity rate. There is not a whole lot I can do considering I do work on my tush all day.
