C25K, WW, and all that fun stuff...
Good morning! Long time no blog - sorry about that! Truth be told, I just wasn't in the mood to talk about myself so much anymore. Worse, I got to the point where commenting on all my friends took up WAY too much time - I swear it was worse than working! I love every single one of you to bits and hate to not comment on your blogs every day, but I might have to skip a few days of commenting once in awhile just to keep my sanity. No worry - I still read every word religiously and am with you in spirit.
That said, here's what's up with me these days. I'm on Week 5, Day 3 of the C25K program. For those of you who've done this torturous program before, you know that today is THE DAY I must jog 20 minutes NON STOP. How will I do this? Well, I figured if I had an interesting show to watch, it may just take my mind off the torture and make it go faster. In preparation I rented Season 1, Disc 1 of Desperate Housewives to keep me company. Hopefully that will do the trick and I won't die.
Next, I joined Weight Watchers Online last night. I had been using the Nintendo DS My Fitness Coach for awhile but figured I needed something more. My BFF just hit her goal this week since joining WW last February (she's the one I used to speak of who refused to do anything about her weight), and I figured it was time for me to give it another try. I lost 40 lbs with WW after the birth of my 1st child way back in 1998, so I'm pretty familiar with the program. Doing it at home will exempt me from going out for weigh-ins - no more long lines! I really like the website, plus it is WAY cheaper than meetings.
I am also doing a weightlifting program (Week 4, Day 3) sent to me by Tracy way back when. The program is 12 weeks long, 5 sets per series. Given the weight and my back injury, I have scaled the program down to 3 sets per series. We'll see how that goes!
That's all for today - I'll let you know if I managed to run for the whole 20 minutes. Ugh!!!
