Donna, I'm sorry about your back. I hope it feels better soon. Back pain is nothing to mess around with. Been there, done that.
Sarah, good for you!! Pat yourself on the back for that one. Keep up the great work and awesome dedication.
Jen, I hope you start to feel better soon.
Everyone else have a great and healthy weekend!! They are always so hard for me. Everyone is home and eating! lol But school's almost out so I just need to suck it up and get used to it.
I forgot to put my highs and lows for yesterday.
High ~ Doing day two of the C25k and taking one bite of the most yummy BBQ chicken quesadilla while I was starving and then stopping, giving it to the kids, and instead making a Lean Cuisine.
Low ~ I did pretty good today, but I could have had more water.
No. lol
I just stopped consuming like 4,000 calories a day which I'd been doing the two weeks prior, hence the 14 pound gain.
I am just struggling to get back to where I was. So silly of me to go off track for two weeks, gain a bunch of weight back, and now be going through this all again. Geez, you'd think I'd learn.
But I'm keeping the severed limb idea in mind for future use.....
I literally just started. I've only done two days of it, and I run really slow. lol But I figured it can't hurt to give it a try.
Thanks!!WOW! What a great loss!
Beth, stick to it! You are almost in one-derland!

I doubt I'll catch up to you. I am really out of shape. When I had lunch with Donna and Jane, I was dying trying to keep up with them in the casino and they were only walking for pete's sake!!!

(<---oops, no jumping allowed yet...)
That's ok. I knew we were on a time crunch so I didn't say anything, but that just goes to show you how all my life I've been out of shape. Skinny or heavy, it didn't matter, I've never had strength.
I'm sorry Jen. I'm glad you're going to the doc though. I hope they will be able to tell you what's going on and maybe give you some meds to get you feeling good again.Another sick one checking in. I'm going to go to the doctor today to see what's up. It's been two weeks and I have no more tolerance for not feeling well. I'm extremely disappointed with how workouts have gone and am not sure if the 1/2 marathon this weekend is even a possibility. I will talk to the doctor about it today. I couldn't even run 25 minutes yesterday.
Hope everyone else is feeling better!
Sending an abundance of WELLNESS wishes to all!!

I hope the doc is able to help you out with your back.
I did day 3 of the C25K and then had some problems afterward. Not sure if it's related to the running or not, but it freaked me out and I'm stopping all exercise for now.
I don't want to go into too much detail. Suffice to say it's related to Aunt Flo. I've got a doc appt June 12. That was the earliest they could see me. I hate going to the Gyno, but I haven't been in probably 5 years, so it's beyond overdue. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous that something is wrong.
Anyway, enough of that. Have a great week ladies!!!!! Keep on keeping on.
Seriously, the worst thing is to injure yourself and then there's a long setback. So let's see what the doctor says and then start back slowly, walking first before you get to running (jen, you are my expert runner, doesn't this make sense or am I out to lunch?).
for Jen and Beth (and anyone else who is not feeling well)
Speaking of repeats, do you or anyone know if you aren't comfortable moving on to the next week, can you repeat a week?
Thanks!!
I LOVE how you called it one-derland. I want to be in one-derland really, really badly.

It's not impossible but I will have to seriously stick to it! The exercise part is not the hard part for me. I can make myself get up off my butt and head to the gym or go hiking but eating...well that's a different story.
I am thinking of you, you are in my prayers and I hope everything turns out ok.
It's really not that bad. I mean, it's not fun, but it's not that bad. I don't know why I went so many years without going. Just plain forgot.
I do the same thing! But keep at it, I know you can meet the goal you've set for yourself.
You're probably right. I always try to do too much, too soon.
Thanks. I called around and found a different doc who could see me sooner, this Thursday in fact. That's how worried I was/am. I waited so long to go, and now I fear I will pay for it.Beth!

I am scheduled to do a trainer workout on thurs though and I am hoping he can work around the back issue.
It doesn't seem the starts are aligned for exercising this week, are they?
My doctor appointment yesterday went fine. I have influenza and was prescribed Robitossun (sp?) with codeine to help me sleep at night. My lungs are fine. My oxygen level is fine. I just have a bad cough and don't have energy. The doctor said it's up to me whether or not I run.
I pretty much have decided not to do the 1/2 marathon. I'm very disappointed, but don't feel like I'm ready - since I haven't done my runs for over a week and since I just don't have any strength or energy.
I feel like I let myself down here. How did I go from feeling to strong to so week in 10 short days.
I could have written your last sentence.

I did mention to Bob last night that you had been sick and that you were thinking about not running your 1/2 marathon this weekend and he told me his first marathon he was sick with a cold and took Robitossun and it was his best time of any of his marathons. Thanks. I called around and found a different doc who could see me sooner, this Thursday in fact. That's how worried I was/am. I waited so long to go, and now I fear I will pay for it.
Oh well. Thanks for your concern.
Glad you are going to get everything checked out. I've been having issues with Aunt Floe since Nov. but I think I am finally getting it figured out. It sucks getting old!! I told Donna earlier that I feel guilty for not going out running since so many of us are unable to and I am able just being really lazy!
