Being sick is the pits

So I have been super sick this week. I think I will head to medical on Tuesday to see if its allergies or a super bad cold. Its waking me up at night and I feel like poo. I am going to start my new program Monday. Running on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and cross training on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Once we get the new dog I will probably walk on my off days with the dog including Sunday. But nothing too crazy :). So that is my goal we will see how it works out.

what I am working on right this moment

So after a rough week last week I am kicking it into gear tonight. I am going to push myself hard tonight when I do my work out. I have two more weeks of this work out for the program. I will probably do one more week to make up the days I missed. But I am still doing ok. I did work out four days last week and will get another four in this week. I hope to do all six next week. The hard part is how easily my routine can get out of sync when people show up or something unexpected happens. Perhaps I should learn a better way of coping than eating. And strive to work out regardless of who is visiting. I did work out the first day Chris was in the hospital but the second week I slacked off. And this week I let my monthly cycle get in the way. I just need to keep moving forward. Anything is better than nothing and I can't go back and have a do over. Three days a week will maintain they say. So anything more will burn extra. Now if I could just get my eating under control without feeling deprived I would be great.

Monday May 17th

Well as of either Monday or Tuesday this week I was down another pound. It was a rough week overall with family here, stress, and my birthday. But we made it through. I missed my workout on Thursday due to having a flu bug :(. And Friday I took off since it was the families last night in town. I went for a great run/walk this morning at 730am. It was great. I am really digging the running and can't wait to start making it a normal part of my routine. I have two more weeks of the slim in 6 and I am seeing results so I want to finish it out. I committed and dang it I am going to finish. But I think Saturday I am going to run no matter what :). I can see a difference in my body despite nothing huge on the scale. I feel better :).

Despite the rough day

Despite spending all day in the emergency room and the hospital and being totally drained I still worked out for 30min.  It was rough I am not going to lie but I am super glad I did it.  Hopefully Chris will be home from the hospital tomorrow.

Food issues

OK I have food issues.  One week I am failing the workout because I am not eating enough.  So I stopped counting calories in an effort to not under eat.  So now I am either overeating or under eating but eating all the wrong crap.  I need to sit down, plan out some meals and snacks and figure this shit out.  Because this isn't working.  I couldn't even finish the workout.  I only 20 mins of the work out before I started getting dizzy and couldn't go on.  GRRRR so frustrating.  Ok well tomorrow is a new day and we can try again.

Getting to the good part

I realized today that I have reached that point where I don't have to force the work out.  I look forward to it.  I want to rush home and work out because I know A) I will feel great afterwards and B) I am improving and losing inches.
I am down another inch around my waist to 39.5 inches.  Ok not great :( but moving down from the 43 I was at when I started.
I wasn't hurting as much today as I was after my first run.  I just have to stick with it.  And I think the abs and stretching after helped.  I didn't feel I was missing out on my slim in 6.  I found a solution to my problem.
