Week 2

Weighed in this am... -3.2 for a total of 10.2!
Yippeee!
Didn't do as well as I would have liked to this week with the treadmill,
just for a simple lack of time.
Hoping to make up for it this week though.
Looking forward to another great, productive and healthy next 7 days!

Week One

drum roll, please...

7 pounds.

I have stuck with my treadmill schedule. Taking it extra slow this time. Trying hard not to hurt my knee any worse than it is already messed it. Nothing too serious, but sticking to it, none the less.
So, I have made it to the treadmill 4 days this week, counted points for 7 days, and stayed right on track!!!

Very excited about my progress!

Fitness Friday's

I went to a Weight Watchers meeting today.
I haven't been good about Weight Watchers, at all for the past year or so. Since I met me goal, for our Disneyland trip. I pretty much dropped the whole thing at that point.
I wanted to get to the 30 pound lost goal, before we left for Disneyland, and I did. And, I told myself when I set that goal, that if I could get to 30 pounds lost, I wouldnt worry about counting points, while we were gone to Disneyland, or for the rest of the month that Anouk was here. So, I was so excited when I met that goal. We went to California, and I was so excited to fit into the clothes I was fitting into, as well as how I felt when I looked in the mirror.

And then we came back.
And then Anouk left.
And then I spent the next year and a half, celebrating that 30 pound mark, until today, when I weighed in, and realized that I had finally gained back almost every bit of the weight that I worked SO hard to get rid of.

This was my first week getting back on my treadmill, and my first week of officially starting Weight Watchers, and counting points again.

I have Fridays off, which is great because there are Weight Watchers meetings, which get over just in time to pick Ashlyn up from school, so I plan to make Friday's my Fitness Fridays. The day that I use the treadmill, count points and weigh in, at the end of the week, to see how I have done, and what I need to do in the following week to keep it going.

I plan to post my progress here, every Friday, as well.

Third time's a charm, right?

Revamp

So, I guess I am starting over for the 5millionth time.

So, 30 and running in 2008... It happened. Just not to the extent that I was hoping for.
So, my original plan for this blog was to document my journey from Couch to 5K. And, that's where the part that didn't happen comes in to play.

So, here's what happened. It got hard.
I got frustrated. I got discouraged. I gave up.

It was just about this time last year that I first started this journey.

I got back on my treadmill tonight. I made a new, "safer" plan, for 2009.

Here's the deal.

I plan to-
Follow the Couch to 5K plan, but adapt it, a little bit. So, if a week is hard, or if I don't feel ready to move up to the next step, I will just stay in the current week, until it feels easier and more comfortable for me.
I plan to get on my treadmill AT LEAST 3 times every week, even if it is just to walk.

So, there you have it. Again.
I know you're probably rolling your eyes and saying "yeah, right!" I know. And, I feel the same way. But, here I go again. Better to start and do a little bit, than nothing at all.

Today I walked/ran for-
27 minutes. 1.75 miles. 201.5 calories.
