Melissa's road to health

I took a sneak peek at the scale today. I try to only weigh once a week on Mondays but I fail A LOT!! Its showing up a few more lbs. :scared1: :guilty: :mad:

I hate this. :sad2: I hate that I did not take care of myself and watch the food and even more the gym was ignored. :guilty: It was a rough week and I did not plan or incorperate the change in schedule very well to keep my workouts up. This week I will if it means getting up early before Zoe(she will be here with my mom until I get back) does and going. I really can plan this into life much better than nothing. Seriously, I have no job right now so there is no excuses for me not to get up and go and then come home and work on the job hunting. So next week is a new week and I've planned to do the C25K plan(very modified if needed for my weight and fitness level) even if it takes me a month to be able to actually complete that first week of 3 walks with that interval rate. I believe I'm a lot more capable than I think at times. So tomorrow is my test with the podcast I had found here long ago. I ran before right after high school and LOVE it. It was the greatest thrill when I ran 10 minutes straight for the first time. I was shocked at what my body could do, CAN do, if I put a little effort.

I want to get back on WW plan too but I worry it will be too much. But its frightening and I've seen some "light" with a incident my dear and best friend had recently. She is my age 2 months younger, and had some bad chest pains. After some review at the Urgent Care they did not find any abnormalities to them in the EKG they ran. But her family Dr. did one and did find that its abnormal for her age, weight and height range(she is not that heavy at all maybe 30-35 lbs overweight which she had gained with her 3rd child that much. They are struggling to figure out the cause and are trying to rule out blood clot since they do not believe at this time it was stroke or heart attack. My "light" though is that we both suffer the same health problem...HYPERTENSION. As you can imagine she was scared to death and came to realize at that rate she may not live to see her grandchildren. For anyone that could be a scare but we are 28 and way to young to worry about these problems. I'm proud of her though she is changing her habits. She is really kicking the salt now and she has been put on Chantix to stop smoking(luckily one thing I do not need to worry about) and is down to 3 sodas a day, a feat for her because she would drink Coke and nothing but Coke all day everyday.

Well i guess the moral is that I want to be around to watch my daughter go to prom, learn to drive, and have children(as she already tells me she definitely wants kids and to be a mommy just like me) all of it.
 
Woohoo!! The scale was good to me this morning. I was expecting a 3-4 lb gain but lo and behold I was 281. Down .6 of the 1.6 lbs I was up last Monday. I'm thrilled to bits with this. Just inflates my motivation to get over to the gym today. Zoe is going with me since I was up way to late last night and didn't get up this morning to do my paperwork I needed for some things and turn them in. Now comes the decision of when to go before or after we go take care of the business stuff at noon. Then I will probably take her to the park and come home and have a swim with her. She was begging to go yesterday but I was working on some things.
