kelly's diary

Hi Kelly! Congrats on the cottage cheese----it has much less calories and probably the same or better benefits than the protein shake. I agree with Tammy---kudos for choking it down! Have a great day!
 
Not the greatest dinner tonight. Went to the British Bobby and it was all fish and chips and stuff. I ordered a chicken burger thinking I'd get a breast and it was a deep fried patty. Oh well, left half the bun. Split a trifle for desert. Calories low at 1850 today, I think its lower than that because I don't think my burger was 434 calories. Anyway, might have a cracker and pb before bed. Or cottage cheese.

Bought some licorice tea to drink. Yummm.

Went to Frontrunners store regarding race registration. There is a 10k on April 27 in Victoria that I will sign up for too. This is my plan for spring.

Hope its not raining tomorrow but I think we're in for a few wet days.
 
Man I am pooped. Yoga class this am followed by almost 2 hr hike in the rain. 10,810 steps or 4.43 miles. Tired. Not tracking calories today, one of those days. Counting days down to race.
 
Yesterday I was so pooped after a 4.34 mile hike in the cold rain. Total couch potato for the rest of the day. I have been out walking in the rain for five days in a row, trying to get the lead out, 190 (189) pounds. Its tough but I know it will only get easier.

Took today off. Went to pick up my son in thenext town which is over a small mountain and I got stuck in a snow storm on the mountain, traffic jam and skidding on the ice. After an aborted attempt to return over themountain we did finally make it back on clear roads, the snow had melted.

My girlfriend has agreed to do the 5k with me. That's great.

I am wondering how I can do this with my big belly. It is always in the way, always uncomfortable. One of these days I will notice an improvement. It seems like its all effort right now. However, I think tomorrow will be a nice day and I'm just going to make myself do it. I have headphones and a pedometer and comfy clothes to wear. It is going to be my main activity for the day.

Today's calories under 2000.
 
I couldnt run for the most part of my weight loss. The problem wasnt that i COULDNT. but that my belly jiggled so much my pants would fall down. Combined with weight loss and baggier pants than normal i looked a sight running whilst holding my pants up.

Anyway that problem seems to have disappeared since, and im not that much less than you now. I think if you keep up with the running, the belly will disappear quickly.
You will feel awesome for the accomplishment as well as looking good.
 
Thanks Wishes, I really need the encouragement.

Gee there's so many users now I had to really search to find my own diary.

I think I have been working a bit too hard at the walking if that's possible. Maybe doing too much too fast. Anyway, I am feeling much better after a vinyassa yoga class. We did a version of a headstand with a chair for support and a bolster and I found it very comfortable and relaxing to be sort of upside down for a while. Felt good on the legs.

I am walking 5k in an hour now, though I have just started. Surely in 60 days it will be easier than it is now. And it will be warmer too. I should chill out a bit. I'm anxious about the race I think.

It has been a while since I've felt really great but I'm definitely feeling better than I was before the yoga class.

Its post christmas, time to get back in to the routine.
 
My one year anniversary on wlf is coming in eleven days. Looking at the beginning of my diary, I see I wanted to lose weight because my tummy is uncomfortable for me. It still is. Walking was my main form of exercise. It still is. Steve would say its time to shake up the program or something like that. That's what my intuition tells me too. I've got to work on some belly exercises.

Okay I'll try to do 25 situps right now.

Okay, I did it, with my hands not touching my head. Hard work but I did it.

25.

Also, have discovered I like licorice tea.
 
Hey Kelly--A year at this is a great feat. Even if you are a work in progress, I believe stick-to-it-tiveness pays off in the end.
 
I am in a funk today. Not out of pajamas yet and feeling sorry for myself that I don't feel better. I think I have over done the exercise. What to do?
 
I think your doing a wonderful job so far!! If your body is telling you to take a break, take a day off. You have been putting in a lot of time lately on your exercise and instead of doing it gradual you went in full force, I'm sure your body is in a bit of a shock period right now, but it always hurts at the beginning and eventually after a few weeks it will get better I promise you that. Do you remember how you felt this time last year?? You were so excited when you got down to 180's I remember that, you WILL get there again, don't let the blues get you down, take a day off to rest and regroup, then get back out there again tomorrow and do your walking. Maybe, don't push so hard the next few days, maybe try walking a little slower or just as fast, but not for so long. How are your nightly munchies?? I remember you had problem with those before too, hopefully that's not messing with you this time. I know you can do this, DON'T GIVE UP, you deserve to get down to your ideal weight, when your ready!
HUGS

Maybe today needs to be a rest day for you. Just don't give up. I have learned that if I push through the tough times it gets easier. ...course then I forget my lesson & do it again. But we just have to take it easy once in a while & do what we can when we can. Make you need to just go for a stroll somewhere nice. Still get some movement in so you don't feel like you are abandoning your plans, but no stress to really push it today. :D Hang in there. If it were easy, we would all be skinny minis with healthy hearts!

Hey Kelly, I'm sorry you're not feeling well today. Take a day off and let your body rest. You probably need a break.

A hug
