Alright, kids, it was a crazy week as you can tell from the lack of updates. And, although I weighed in yesterday and only lost .4 pounds but seriously, I was happy. I slacked off this week - I did not fulfill my Tuesday task of three days at the gym (only 2 days and a run at the shore) so bleh on that, but it's a new week and I guess this shows that with really simple life changes, you can make a difference. I haven't been to Mickey D's (or Wendy's) since this started. I haven't been to Applebees or a diner for late night greasy foods. Monday when i was so hungry coming home from work and I grabbed a donut (!!) I threw half of it out because it was stale and did not taste good. And seriously, if I'm going to eat any crazy calories, it better be worth it. I've never thrown out a donut before. The other two TT's went well - I LOVED doing the wall pushups and was sore for like 3 days. I'm going to keep that and add 10 seconds of wall sits. And, I didn't have alot of experience for fried chicken so that's gonna be kept on the roster for this week.
Also! Over Thanksgiving, Mom, J, K and J's boyfriend and I are hopefully going to to do a 5K. It's far enough away that I have time to train but close enough that it'll be on my backburner. And I love the people I'm doing it with so yay! I'm going to follow the 8 week program for From Couch to 5K for the first 2 months and then after I can hopefully run a 5K straight, the rest of the time will be spent training on hills/intervals to build up endurance. I'm pumped and have already done 2 of the week one workouts!
Tuesday Tasks
1) Do 3 workouts for the from Couch to 5K - last one from week one and two from week 2. Last time that I tried to do Ct5K, I only did the first week so let's take this one week at a time.
2) No fried chicken again. With M & D going out of state, I'll be tempted to go out to eat much more so this week so we're keeping this one around.
3) 2 liters of water. Let's do this. Whooo! (side benefit - if I do 2 liters of water, I'll go the bathroom much more and do the wall sits/pushups so yay!)
Not the best week, but I'm feeling good about this week! :)

woo-hoo!
congrats on throwing out the donut!
maybe i should try the wall pushups and sits on my bathroom breaks - trouble is i'm not drinking very much water so i don't go very often. maybe i should work on that first.
good luck on the 5K! I looked at the training regimen and it seems tough but doable - hang in there.
good luck with no fried chicken. did mom leave you a bunch of meals so that you had something tasty to eat at home?
