Well this is my first post! I am excited to say I am on the right track! I currently run about 2 miles a day sometimes more but not by much. My goal is to run 3 miles in one stretch of time.

I plan to also incorporate in weights but not till next week. I am kind of sore this week. I have been running for about 3 weeks so far. Before this I was runniing for about a month or 2 but not eating right. Weill now I am trying to eat better. I don't really eat any fried foods. I have cut way back on my portions and I have been doing the food combining thing and that seems to work well for my digestive system. I was really not doing so good in that area.

Any hoo! I am just excited to be moving in the right direction. I haven't lost much but its definetly a start! I am setting a goal to at least during the week take time to write in my diary daily just to chart my progress and figure out whether or not I am doing something wrong.

Please Please Please if someone out there see's something that I am not doing correctly let me know.

Here's to loosing big!!
 
Hey speedy, welcome to the board and you definitely seem to be on the right track. I'll keep watching out for new entries! Good luck!!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Well here goes today I am a little on the sluggish side. I don't really know why I think I get enough sleep. But maybe I'm pms'n or something. Either way I feel like crap. I actually made it to the gym this morning. Last night I ate kind of bad though. I had a steak sandwich/salad and like 5 french fries. On this food combining deal I am not supposed to eat meat and bread together. Well oh well. I have been craving beef a lot too. Tonight I want to eat a filet with some veggies! MMMM sounds so good. I can't wait to get home.

Oh yeah about my workout I was able to get in 2.25 miles today. My goal is to run at about 5 mph. I want to be able to run 3 miles in one 30 min segment. Which means I really need to speed up.

This is my current work out schedule
Sunday-Friday 2 miles daily at a pace of between 4.5-5 mph
I have been doing this for about 3 weeks now I am going to add in some weight training next week 2 days a week So it will be
Sunday Goal 2.5 miles 30min
Monday Goal 2.5miles 30min
Tuesday 15min run 35min weights Full body (I got a workout from fitness mag)
Wednesday 2.5miles 30min
Thursday 15min run 35min weights Full body
Friday 2.5 miles 30min
Saturday my day off!!!
 
My weekend was tiresome. I couldn't get back into the forum yesterday or else I would have vented then. I think I am coming on my cycle and I have a touch of a cold. Soooo today when I went to run (after 4 dayse off!!:confused: ) I couldn't barely make it a mile. My head is conjested and I feel like crap!!! I think I will wait to start my weight training till next week!!

Besides that I guess I am okay. I at did get to the gym this morning which was a great accomplishment all within itself so here's to one day at a time.

I am going to post my training log to see what you guys think!!
 
Hi Speedy. That sucks that you are sick. Drink plenty of water - or get your fluids from hot tea or soup if that's what you prefer. Your body needs fluids to fight the cold. Take a decongestant like Sudafed and a pain reliever like Motrin.

If you take the meds, you may feel up to walking and that's okay to do while you are sick. A mile burns about 100 calories (give or take), and usually takes 14-20 minutes for people to walk. (Okay, am I pushing walking/jogging too much when I say do it while you are sick??????) :p

Otherwise crash on the couch and get better soon. :)

Now that sounds like a plan. I think I have a combo of things going on. From my own frusterations to this danged cold to my upcoming period!!! That is always and instant downer. I am trying to change my thinking though to that of no matter what is going on in my life or emotions I WILL NOT LET IT DICTATE HOW WELL I TAKE CARE OF ME!!!

Okay when I really believe that I will let you know!!
 
Well today I got a better start then yesterday. I ran my whole 2 miles at a speed of about 4.5mph which is a little on the slow end but I was just glad to have done it!! I feel pretty good this morning. I just have ton's of work to do so I better get to it!!
 
Hi Speedy. I finally found you...excellent work! I need to get into running again too. Sounds like you have a great plan worked out! I'm super busy too...I'm finding it difficult to make time but that's what needs to be done. See you around soon!

Making time is the hardest. I wake up at 5:45 (usually 6am but 5:45 sounds better) to get my run in. I actually am going to have to start a little earlier because my gym is closing so I have to go to one further away:mad: major bummer!!
 
Today I did my 2 miles but decided that if I want to see any real results I am going to have to speed it up a bit. I am back at running 4.7 mph but I am shooting for running and even 5mph by next week. Here's to getting it going!!

That's awesome. I don't run 2 miles at a time yet, though I think I could try. I walk/jog/walk/jog. Someone called it "wog", which might have been a typo, but I like that. Actually, I'd like to be able to call it running, but feel I can't until I can actually go without stopping.

Keep on keeping on. You are doing great.
 
Today I didn't work out thanks to my hubby. He is going away for the weekend on a retreat (boy would I like to go on a retreat:rolleyes: ) So he wanted some luvin hehe before he left so that did it for the moring work out. I will probably try to do some yoga tomorrow but I might not since I can do cleaning since my hubby won't be there. Who knows but either way I'm burning calories!!
 
Well I'm back on track!
Today I made it to the gym. I ran at 5.0 mph for about 25mins. I ran a total of 2.2? miles. I am working my way up to 3miles total. I was actually suprised that I was able to run the entire thing at that speed.

So on to the tough part of my weekend. Sometimes the way that I view myself in the mirror isn't how it really is. I don't see myself fat in the mirror. Just misproportioned but I saw a picture of myself yesterday that brought some reality to how I look to other people! I mean just big for no reason. I actually thought my arms looked short now you know that's bad! Soo I thought I would just do the low carb thing for a bit. But not the lc high fat. I just have to find a way to do it without becoming constipated!! :eek:
