rukes's Announcements

I got out today and walked again! That's three workout days in a row that I have made it out of the house for a while! I only ran the first day, but have successfully worked up a sweat in the two subsequent workouts which counts for me. I'm so proud of myself! I'm also very happy that my husband has found a constructive way to participate in my weight loss. Instead of badgering me, he is encouraging and walks with me. It is amazing! We're doing great and I'm doing great. Yay!

So, I decided to start a couch to 5k program. The day I did, I went out and did a walk/jog as my first workout. I then took a day off to rest and noticed a twinge in my right knee. I have injured my right ankle so many times that I have favored it and caused damage all along the right side of my body. Fun times, I know! But, I was careful with my jogging and only did as much as I felt comfortable with. Yesterday I was still feeling the twinge and was also not interested in going out in the thunderstorms for another walk/jog. My husband and I were watching tv when "The Crow" came on. I hadn't seen that movie in years so of course I wanted to watch the whole thing. Then the first three "Saw" movies were on next! How could I leave the house with so much keeping me glued to the couch?! But, the dog was restless and so was I. With my husband's encouragement , I recorded the three movies and we went for a walk. It was brisk and I broke a sweat. I did not run, but I did get up and move. And my husband was supportive and nice! Look at our progress! :)

Yay! I didn't actually lose a whole pound, but with the joy of rounding I get to celebrate 5 lbs gone! I did lose weight this week which I think it pretty awesome considering my emotional rollercoaster and the fact that I am a HUGE (no pun intended!) emotional eater. So way to go me! I lost!

Wow, I'm actually excited about going for a walk! Of course, this is in the form of a maze, so who wouldn't be excited? I'm such a kid at heart!!! Oh yeah, there's a hay maze too! I'll probably check them both out. And then, of course, the Olympic weight lifting of gigantic pumpkins! Fun, fun, fun!!! (That's not sarcasm, believe it or not!)

I lost 4 pounds my first week on the plan! I'm so excited about that. It's a small amount compared to how much I have to lose, but it's huge for a week and I'm stoked!!! Yay!
