Squeeze My Lemons

I finished Week 6 C to 5K!!! I ran for 25 mins straight. It completely sucked, I have to admit. During the 5 min cool down "brisk" walk, I felt like I was pretty much dragging my ass home. I didn't even get the rewarding adrenaline high from doing a good job. Too damn tired! I should finally sleep good tonight...

That being said, good night!

Oh my god, I just looked at next week's program. Its all 25min runs. Crap. We'll just see about that.

Goodnight, again.
 
YEY!! Congrats on getting through the twenty-five minutes straight!! I'm UBERLY proud of you chica!! I'm throwing you an internal party!!

See--->:party::party:CONGRATULATIONS!!! :party::party:

Don't stress out to much about next week, honey. Now that you've made it this far, it's only going to get easier. Yeah, you can really be feeling exhausted and physically, you're going to feel EXTREMELY exerted, but it's only until your body gets used to the new strain. Trust me, I couldn't always run as fast/long as I do. It took me a couple months to work up to this, but you know what? I'm finally here!!

Just keep this up chica. You're Superwoman. You can do anything!!
 
Congratulations on the 25 minutes!!! I haven't made it that far, but I'm doing W6D2 today and should do W6D3 on Friday - I'll let you know how badly it kicked my ass too! heh.

Did you have enough food during the day (and some simple carbs like 2 hours before) to give you the energy to run the 25 minutes? Just a thought.
 
Rae-- Thanks! I need an internal party. LOL.

Tasha-- You'll be fine. You already can run circles around me based on speed alone! Not to mention, look at your miles. Crazy! I agree with you on the carbs. I was thinking that that may have been a bit of the problem. I think I went too long after I ate. I normally try to eat some good hearty complex carbs about a half hour to an hour before I go out. It seems to help a lot!

Stacy-- Today, so far, isn't feeling especially goal-reaching. I went out for curry for lunch. It was wonderful, but more than I usually have for lunch. Then to make things worse I picked up a red bean bun from my local Chinese bakery and ate it on the way home.:eek: My taste buds were feeling very happy...but I think the scale isn't going to be thrilled, tomorrow. This week has had a couple of pretty bad days. I'm not sure how things are going to turn out. Weigh-in's tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

I forgot to tell you guys that I'm thanking my lucky stars. Back on Friday (Party Wiener Day), after the party a bunch of us were going to head down to a big bonfire that was supposed to happen on campus. I am sooooo glad it was all over by the time I got there! It was organized as part of a non-violent protest against some land that was being dug up for a transit line. I wasn't planning to go for the protest (I actually didn't know the two things were connected), just for the fire...I love fires. Anyways, I guess the protest got unfriendly when the cops and fire department showed up. Now I'm not placing blame on either side, but I really think the protesters and cops handled things poorly. Anyway, so my bunch of people showed up after the fire was put out and the cops were gone. Thank God! They arrested 12 people. Some of them were not a part of the protesters even. They arrested bystanders, too. I probably would have gotten double or triple nailed by the cops. I was definitely intoxicated in a public place and I smelled like pot and was at a protest site. Definitely not something to write home about. And really and truly, I am not a hell raiser and I really lead a very subdued life. This would have killed me. Not to mention that I am not officially a BC resident. Some of the people arrested are Americans and not Canadians, so they are a bit worried about losing their student visas and being deported. Yikes!
 
More Happy List:

#1 -- I will have a lot less surface area to shave on my legs.
#2 -- I will be able to sit down, look down at my boobs and not see "the roll" competing for attention.
#3 -- Chubby will refer to babies, erections, and Chubby Checker... and not to me. (If you think of all of those things together, you'll get a really creepy mental image)
#4 -- My belly button will no longer look like a scrunched up frowning face. It will become a circle, the way all the pretty belly buttons look...
 
Congrats on running for 25min!!!! :party: I would have keeled over after about 5..lmao. nice job!!

Good thing you stayed away from that protest/bonfire. If you were locked up in the slammer, you wouldn't be able talk dirty with me here. :D

I am lmao while watching the new South Park--Mr. Garrison is chasing his penis around town..lmao. If you haven't seen it, don't ask. :rolleyes:

I haven't seen that South Park, but just imagining a cartoon penis that look like it's cut out of construction paper cracks me up. :D
 
I think it's safe to say we all want sexy belly buttons. And then you know what? We'll all have to go out and get matching piercings. Haha.

Wow, last Friday was a close call for you. Providence was on your side that night, chica. Like you, my life is rather subdued and I pride myself on it. If I'd been arrested or ticketed, I would have FREAKED out to the point of crying, I'm not kidding you.

I'm sure this weekend will be much more fun that last, hon.
 
Wow... grace was on your side that night. I'm always a bit nervous to go out intoxicated here. I've done it a few times and I think I've finally gotten past the paranoid edgy feeling. So how long have you and your fiance been engaged? Are you looking forward to dress shopping?
 
So I am EXACTLY the same weight this week as I was last week. Last Friday really screwed things up. It could be worse, I could have gained. I have been gearing myself up all week to see no loss (and maybe even a bit of a gain), so I am not surprised. Its still hard not to be disappointed though. You know the whole 3500cal = 1lbs thing... it goes to show you that are bodies are a lot more complex than that. When I average out this week and compare it to the previous week, it is really apparent. Averaged out, I only ate 100 calories more per day this week (total of 700 calories). Add in the fact that I exercised 100cal less this week (according to fitday). I lost 1 lbs last week this week none. Therefore 800cal = 1 lbs. See what I'm getting at! There is a lot more to it than meets then eye. What does this mean....this week pick up the pace, cut back a tad more, eat out less so that there aren't hidden calories (fat chance with the fiance in town!). Breathe. Relax. Suck it up Princess.

Happy Thursday Everyone!!!!!!!! (if I use a lot of exclamation points, I might just believe it!!!!!!!!)
 
There are also factors such as water retention and glycogen to add to it as well as calories in/out. Don't let it get you down. I've seen people go weeks with little to no loss, then suddenly a 5lb drop in one week. It happened to MissLadyBug last week, and to AmyRB a few weeks ago. Just keep on truckin', girl!
 
Okay, I am amending the last post. I have lost 0.6lbs. I took a shit and now I weigh less. Damn it, I'm taking it. So there! :p

Oh I forgot to mention. I succeeded in only weighing myself once this week. I did not feel nearly as manic/depressive as I did weighing myself compulsively. Definitely switching to the once a week ONLY weighing. My scale is going to have to deal with being lonely!

Congrats on the weight loss!! :hurray: It's amazing how much shit weighs..:svengo:

I can't stay away from my scale--but I only do it once a day--not all day long like some people.
 
I have said many X around here I love to poo and then weigh.. It just goes hand and hand.

:D

:smilielol5:

Congrat's on the loss.

Have A Happy Thursday.
 
Thanks for dropping by Stacy and Kimmy.

I had an amazing thought today. I just realized after the exam I wrote that this is the last university exam I EVER have to write. There are no exams next year!!! Woo hoo! Especially considering that todays exam was bizarre. Lets just put it this way I left without having the remotest clue about I did. I'm sure I'm fine (I've never failed an exam in my life). Thank goodness that when I talked to other people in my class, they seem just as mystified. When we compared answers, we realized that we were all in the same frame of mind, so it'll be a group success or a group failure. To be truthful. I really don't care. I'm done with exams!!! Sure in three years I'll have to right my professional certification exam, but that is then and this is now. Done Done Done!!!!

I went out for my cto5k run last night. Another 25minutes straight. Thought I'd die for the first half. Then it got easier. I actually...get this...sprinted the last minute. Now I might be paying for it a bit. My back's been bugging me today. I had physio yesterday, so the combination of the two might be causing the trouble. I'm hoping that this isn't a sign that the 25min sessions are too long for my back. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. If I run tomorrow and still have problems I might have to break the 25 into two intervals. I've got my fingers crossed. I want to keep with this program. I would really love to run a 5k race this summer. It would be a cherry on top of my running sundae.

Hope everyone is out acting crazy this friday. Tonight is a night at home for me. Gotta clean house so that the fiance doesn't find out that he's marrying a slob. LOL! Two more sleeps and he's here!

So I felt like a complete tool in the grocery store just a minute ago. So I'm low on calories and I have a hankering for something sweet. I head to the store at the end of the block to get a piece of cake (I know, it wasn't a great idea to begin with). Anyways, so I pick up one of the slices of carrot cake and head to the till. As I'm waiting to go through the till, the lady behind me plunks down a 8x8 inch carrot cake. She proceed to tell me that 8x8 cakes are on sale and mine slice isn't. It ends up that both the small piece and the entire cake are the same price. Now back in the day, I'd pick up my puny cake and head right back to the bakery. However, nowadays I know that a slab of cake in my house is going to spell disaster. Heck what I already had in my hands was verging on disaster. So I tell her that the 8x8 cake is way to much cake for me. She looked dumbfounded and I can't blame her. In essence, a slice of her cake is 1/4 the price of mine. She proceed to tell her husband this when he meets her at the till. I couldn't wait to get out of there. They couldn't stop staring at the stupid girl with her over priced piece of cake!

I only ate half of the giant slice because the whole thing has 960. I'm going to really have to watch my calories tomorrow because I know I won't be able to resist the leftover chunk. Hell, I can hardly resist it now...but I will!!!
 
Carrot cake sounds so good :)

You know your limits and I would probably be the same way. Having that big of a cake in the house would probably mean a binge for me, and I wouldn't want to do that, and neither would you ;)

Congrats on all your running, I think your a little bit ahead of me in the C25K. It's been a great program and I hope it's something I can stick with.

Have a great weekend,
-Sam
