In a Funk.

I’ve been fighting with the same few pounds for four weeks now. I’d say I am in a funk.

I’d like to get over this and move on.
Here’s the deal. The past two weeks I’ve been focused on hitting the gym – and I’ve been fairly successful on that level.

The routine:
3X Week Cardio – C25k and 20 mins of bike
2X Week Strength Training – 15min Elliptical and 45 of free weights
1 X week – Cardio Class (On Sundays: Zumba or Dance).

However, because I am concentrating on the gym I’ve been really messing up on the tracking. Why Am I unable to do both?

This week I’m going to start posting a photo of one meal a day – this way I know I have to be accountable at least once.

It's all about staying on track.

Couch to 5k!

Greetings Blogversie,



The training for my first 5k is going swimmingly! I’ve been concentrating on switching between walking and running. I believe the professionals call that intervals? At first I was just winging it and decided to run 1 min and walk 2. One month later of increasing running time little by little I now run about 5 minutes before I switch to walking. I’ve been thinking that I may not be ready to run the full 5k in April. I would hate to but in all this time and effort only to have gone about it the wrong way! A weight watcher board member suggested I look up Couch to 5k.

I printed out a copy of the plan and it looks like I have been doing enough. This week I’ll start following the plan. However, I am going to jump to week four (Which has 5 min running intervals) of the nine week program.

Otherwise, WW tracking has been fantastic. Now that school started I switched my meeting days from Thursday nights to Saturday mornings. I am thrilled about the change because the Saturday morning group is talkative and diverse.
My current weight is: 216.2. That’s down 23.8 pounds! I am so close to making my first 25 pounds. I’ve been meaning to set some rewards for every 25 pounds I drop. Now seems like a good time to set those rewards.
25 pound Rewards!

2nd 25 (190 pounds) Ipad
