Thanks, Mystic!

Today is going to be a long day. Our daughter came in and woke us up around 1:30 am to inform us that her brother was puking all over. Yaaaay. *sigh* I was finally getting a good night of sleep too! He seems to be fine this morning, but I kept him home from school just to be safe. I have to take my mom to an eye appt today and do her shopping. I also printed out an arm workout the other day, and I plan on doing that at some point today.
 
Wow, you are doing great! I'd rather have a pear shape than what I have right now. I look like a freakin manatee!!! I scared myself by accidentally looking in the mirror. It was quite hideous. But it probably is because I am all bloated up.
 
I'm a pear too, but I'd rather be a pear than an apple. Don't get me wrong I like apples. Seriously though, carrying weight on your hips etc is a safer place to carry it than around your heart, so there's a plus side to it. Yay for becoming smaller pears!

Thanks!... and yeah, I try to avoid looking in the mirrors while naked. It isn't pretty. haha.

Very true. I'd rather have it in a safer place if I have to have it. Although, I'd rather not have it at all obviously. haha. And yay for smaller pears!!! lol!

Did C25k Week2 Workout 2 today. Didn't die. At this point, I consider that successful. lol! Food today has been pretty good. I ate pretty light today, so I could have some snacks later. It's our night to loaf around, stay up late, and goof off. So I'm enjoying my evening. :)

Oh, gee thanks for mentioning pears. Thanks a lot. Now I want poached pears with chocolate sauce, chopped pistachios and crepes. I am falling into a chocolate river, but what a sweet way to go!! Lol!

Today hasn't gone too bad. Had pasta for dinner, but other than that it wasn't too shabby. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the last C25k workout in for week 2. I'd rather do it tomorrow than on Saturday, but I'm not sure what all I'm doing tomorrow. So we'll see how the day goes.
 
Good luck! Having just started my own C25K today I know what you mean. my work keeps me at odd hours of the day, so sometimes exercise is not an option, which sucks. (Though I'm gonna have to force myself not to do too many workouts in one day for the C25K or it will lose it's effectiveness all round I imagine)

Good luck!
 
Thanks, Paladin-Cleric! :)
Mystic, we really aren't for the faint of heart. I blame Chef. lol.


Ok, so I just got back from running my mom around all morning. At this point I still need to get lunch, do a couple other things and then go pick up kids. So the workout is not happening right now. Hopefully tonight though. I need to take some tylenol or motrin though. My hips and everything are pretty sore. I've been stretching, but they're still giving me some problems. My back is also killing me. And to top it off I went back up a couple pounds on the scale. Grrrrrr. I know it's just from the exercise. It happens every single time I start back into it. I know I just have to wait until it evens out, but it's depressing seeing the scale go back up when you're eating good, and are finally getting off your butt and doing something. It's like... coooome on! You're killing me, scale! lol.
 
Warning...vent ahead..


The last couple days have not been good ones. I got into with my mother, which included her high school dramatics, like hanging up on me and telling me that because I don't answer the phone in a pleasant cheery tone of voice every single time she calls that I "must wish she were DEAD so I didn't have to deal with her". Yes, clearly that's what it means, Mom. *eyeroll* Sigh. Like sorry, I'm not happy you're calling every single time, because 99% of the time you call, it's because you want me to do something, not just because you want to talk. And it was no different that time. I don't need to rush over to go buy you bottled water, because you ran out. You have a faucet with an unlimited supply of tap water. You'll survive on that for a DAY until I go to the store for you on the normal day. I really don't care if you don't like the taste. You're 62 years old, not five. Put some flavor stuff in it and get over it. It's not THAT bad........ "But I can still taste it!".......Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Anyways, that just spiraled into being pissed about a lot of things. And then when that got smoothed over she turned right around and asked me to do something for her today. And...this is the best part... when I said no, she decided she was going to ask my EX-HUSBAND to do it for her. Like....what?! Because clearly after being divorced for years, it's still his job to run her around. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to get that message. She has no boundaries, and is just driving me batshit crazy. I've also felt like absolute crap the last few days, which hasn't helped my mood any at all. To be honest, I have absolutely no motivation right now. My eating hasn't been horrible, but not the best. I definitely haven't been exercising. ugh. Hopefully my willpower and motivation return soon.

O dear... I simply can´t imagine my mom (who just turned 63) talking like that under ANY circumstances! Take care of yourself, healthy food and (even hjust a tiny bit of) exercise will help keep your nerves steady and your energy levels higher.
