That damn program at the gym tried to kill me tonight. It had me start out with 25 minutes at around 6 miles an hour for about fifteen minutes, and then some smaller cycles.
I manage to finish, and then it sends me to the weights. 'bout halfway through, it sends me back to the treadmill, and then the inclined cycle.
I've dropped about 6 lbs in the last week, and for my size, I'm getting a might light at 219 lbs. But i'm startin' to feel drained all the time, between the weight loss and the diabetes and the med for it.

I actually just started a 5K training program today. I figured I do the couch-to-5K version. Even though I'm not exactly starting out at couch, I figure I'm out of shape enough that it probably wouldn't hurt to build up gradually. Plus I bought a pedometer! After all the buildup reading about how difficult it is to reach 10,000 steps a day, I was actually disappointed by how easy it was for me.

... Have you SEEN my status. I went to the gym once last week. and for a run one day last week.
I threw out my scale because it wasn't working. It said I lost 20 pounds in one day. And I weighed myself the day before!
damn scale was making fun of me.
My biggest accomplishment so far in week one, seems to be not over eating or binge drinking!
I have to go to a wedding the first week of june and I know there's going to be a lot of pictures taken .... and ... yes ... scared of those pictures!!

EDE, my friend did a couch-to-5K program and did really well... I've looked at it and think I could probably start somewhere at the midway point...

Well, with my elbow they switched me over to mostly cardio and legs and trunk. I have a few small exercises to do for my arm, she called it small muscle work for a chronic sprain.
Probably shouldn't have used the bush ax and slingblade today but believe it or not, that doesn't hurt. What did hurt was using a hoe to kill a snake that got to close to Sam. Thing was dull as dishwater and thudded into the ground, which sent a shock up to my elbow.
I used a tasty analgesic to blot it out last night, but its giving me hell today.
Still, if you want to get rid of some flab around the stomach and chest, that'll do it.

Went for a run today... there's two runs coming up I'm thinking of doing, a 4 mile and a 5 mile... finding the road much tougher than the treadmill...

No more f^&%$ing around; losing weight and excercising is now a matter of health. As in, do I wanna stay healthy or do I wanna drop dead before too long? I'm afraid I've couch-potatoed as much as I can afford to. Can't go without excercise any more.
So my plan is to document my excercise daily here. You all please feel free to ridicule and berate me if I do not report in daily.
Up early and knocked out 40 situps. Not bad since it's been months since I did a sit-up. Let's see how many push-ups I can now manage... *cringes*
Doing a four mile run this weekend... at least going to attempt it
