Back On Track!

I was down another .2 at last weeks weigh in. I have 3.8 pounds to lose to meet my July goal. I am going full steam ahead to meet this.

I am not where I want to be exercise wise. My ankle is still not up to full strength so I can't get back to exercising the way I want to.

Notice how you take little things for granted. All the days when I was able to exercise and I blew it off, whoever thought I would turn into a person who misses it as much as I do.

Well here is hoping that the scale is good to me for the rest of the month.

Just My Luck!

I am starting to get really frustrated with this process. I am facing one setback after another. Okay I sprung my ankle Friday and it really only hurted a lil bit, woke up on Saturday and it was on fire. Why me I say.

I signed up to take the 21 day challenge and I was well on my way and now this comes along.

But you know what, I am not letting it stop me. I am really watching what I am eating and I am thinking I should only be down for about a week. If it still hurts I am still going to go to gym in my building and ride the bike. I have to do something. I feel like a lazy slob if I don't.

Does anybody else face this feeling when they don't exercise?

Trying Something New!

Me and my boss had a conversation this week about me starting to go from a brisk walk to a slow jog (real slow) and how I was going to attempt it one day.

Well today was the day. I did it. I walked for 25 minutes and slow jogged for 5. I know that might not sound like much, but it was a big accomplishment for me. This time last year, I could not do this and I was not even thinking about it. I am so proud of myself. In a earlier post, I wrote about me pushing myself and this is what I am trying to do this month. One day at a time.

July Goals!

Well, overslept my WI again. I guess I really needed the rest or it might be some type of psychological thing going on.

I have set my July goals. My goal is to exercise 930 minutes (30 minutes a day) and lose 5 pounds. I had a co-worker of mine(thanks Dave) make me some graphs for my refrigerator so that I could track my progress on a daily/weekly basis. I think the visual will really help me

Well starting the month off right, walked 30 minutes and stayed OP.
