Goals

I lost 30 lbs last year, and have now gained back 13 of those lbs.  Ugh.  It is most uncomfortable.  So I decided to get back to it, even though running is not as easy as it was last year.  Last year I could go for 30 minutes at a fast pace before having to slow my heart rate down a bit, now my heart rate gets up the the max limit after 3 minutes.  That is bad, really bad.  Oh gosh, it is bad.

Part of my weight gain is that I went back to my love, Coke, part of it is that I started to eat massive amounts of whatever I felt like, and part of it is that I had given up exercising.  A very bad combo. 

Anyway, I'm back on it.  I've given up my love of Coke...it has been 2 weeks now.  I've started back to exercising even though it is not easy and I'm not able to go as fast as I would like.  I'm going to start going back to the gym, which I hate because I have to leave Z in the daycare and she despises being left there.  It is my fault though because I should have been getting her used to it, but instead I quit making her go there.  So today when I went to the gym she didn't cry, she just watched me go.  I thought, "Wow, this is great!"  10 minutes later I heard this over the loud speaker, "Shelba to childcare!"  I walked in to hear my girl screaming and gulping for air.  She refused to look at me, refused to stop crying.  She was livid. 

My goal for this week is to run on my treadmill no less than 4 times this week and to go to the gym 3 times for even 10 minutes a go to get work on getting Z used to the daycare.

My hero too....we have talked about the Coke thing before. I still haven't done it. WAY TO GO!!!! I so need to lose 30 pounds too. Maybe you will inspire me.

Oh believe me, I hear ya. Let's start an online running "club" or something. I need the motivation. I know a few people who run here but they are annoyingly fit and fast (oh, and I'm moving anyway).

Good luck!

Heh...I'm right there with ya, girl. I gained back exactly 13 pounds, also, and am now trying to get it back off. Except I had to give up wine instead of Coke. Soooooo very sucky.
