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.....
