I found a show that I can't stand about weight loss. It's called Ruby. She's starting to doubt her personal trainer, saying she knows her body better than he does, etc. I can remember being like that, and it just angers me to see someone else like this.
I know I can push my body harder than I am, but I'm scared to, especially since D's ankle is still acting up. Today we're going to try to do some situps, and maybe some 'girly' pushups so we can still do SOMETHING, but not to aggravate his ankle. I walked 2.6 miles this morning and my calf was sore. Not sure why, as I stretched more today than I have in the past week, but I distributed my weight onto my other leg and I was fine after 20 minutes.
I thought about trying to do the couch to 5k. I think they need to retitle it Couch to Grave. Cause I got through 30 seconds of jogging and was panting like crazy. I will try again after another 5 lbs are gone or just pay more attention to my stepping and breathing. I've jogged a 5k, and jog and walked half a marathon before (Thanks to my crazy PE couch, Ms. Mason). I wish I could run or fail a class like back then. Might give me more motivation to run. Although I was about 210 back in high school, when jogging like that. It's so annoying knowing that you were once able to do shit like that, but can't cause you couldn't stop eating cake. =/ Damn Cake.
I'm on my second Couch to 5k after my first attempt was a fail. I wasn't quite ready at that point and really, the weight has less to do with it than your level of fitness. If you just wait a little longer, like you said in my blog comment, you'll be able to tackle that Couch to 5k. I had to complete my first 11 mile hike before starting again, I can feel the difference this time and I believe I will be able to complete the C25k program. My husband is ten pounds heavier than I am and he's training for a 10k with the Freeway to 10k (another running program). Don't be discouraged, you can get your fitness level back up in no time. It is frustrating, I know, to think back on the things you could do way back when. By the way, I -never- wash dishes, I always use my dishwasher. If that's lazy then I'm certainly fine with it. :)
