Got nothing to say

...so this will be short. Today's weigh in was 195. Still the same. I'm trying to get back in the groove. Mostly trying to my exercise worked out. I'm trying to jog/walk 3x a week and strength train 2-3x a week.

We have lots of things coming up. We'll be going out of town for the weekend in a couple of weeks, gotta get prepared for that. E's 2nd birthday is soon, so I'm in party planning mode. Then after that, it'll be time for 2nd grade!! Lots going on and I hope I can lose some more weight while it's happening!

Here Again

When I logged in to update today, there were options for changing the background on my blog, so I did. It looks pretty cool now.

Anyway, I know it's been a while since I've posted, but there's really been nothing of interest to post. I've maintained my weight of 195 since I was here last. I'm okay with that. I haven't eaten my LC way that I should have been, so maintaining is good. At least there hasn't been a gain.

This week I started the Couch to 5K program which takes you from doing nothing to running a 5K in nine weeks. I've done okay so far except for the fact that I didn't do it today (I plan to do it tomorrow instead). I've actually been able to finish the whole thing. So far I've done 5 minutes of walking followed by eight intervals of running 60 seconds and walking 90 seconds then a cool down. It takes 30 minutes and I've been moving kinda slow (more of a jog than a run), but I've covered a little over a mile in that time. I did well the other two days getting up early and getting straight on the treadmill. Today, there was nothing else going on so I slept in and decided not to run this morning after all. So, I'm exercising. Now, to get back to LC and I might actually be able to reach my goal this year!

My friend, L, is on LC and she is doing GREAT! She's lost 40 lbs. the last I heard, about a week ago. Granted, she has more weight to lose than I do, but I'm still so happy for her. I'm gonna do my best to get back to it this week. J is back to low fat, which involves carbs, so I really need to get strict with myself if I'm gonna do this. Hopefully, next week will be a better post, where I can say that I've actually lost some weight! Until that time.....
