I wonder why I keep losing 10 pounds and then sabotage my efforts. I am sure this is something I should try to figure out so as to learn to not do it anymore.
The family wedding was last weekend. It was very nice. I had a great time and even found something to wear. I am trying to get back in focus and make significant progress both with my weight loss and finding a job. I need to get more organized on both fronts and get a plan.
Tonight I started my couch to 5k program. I barely survived my first program! But I can do this! I just noticed found the podcasts that tell you when to run and when to walk with music. I am going to try one next time. It is a 9 week program. That means the soonest race I could do would be the week of May 19. Here is where I will track my progress.
On May 26, 2008, there is the Brian Kraft Memorial 5k. Last year, there were 297 male finishers and 187 female finishers. The fee is $20 ($25 on race day) and I get t-shirt. My brother & his friend are doing a fundraiser that involves hiking the the Appalachian Trail this summer. Maybe if I do a 5k or two, I can learn about organizing one and some day organize a 5k for MLD. I will have to keep my eye out for another 5k that I might want to run in sometime after May 19.
OK, so last week I gained 2lbs and this week I have not gained or lost any weight. That puts me at a total loss so far of 6lbs. Not bad but I was hoping to be further along by now. I really need to get back to working out. Now that we are moved in and have a lot of our stuff unpacked it should be easier to do. Also, I am really looking forward to daylight savings time starting on Sunday. The additional sunlight will make walking after work a lot more do-able. Yippee!

Making big changes can be daunting and overwhelming. Back In Skinny Jeans has a post called Two Tiny Changes Tuesdays.
I feel like I should say something like “and here are the two tiny changes I am going to make”. But I am drawing a blank. I’m sure I’ll come up with something.
Update: I decided that my first little thing would be to add 1 extra serving of vegs to my diet a diet this week. (it’s a start . . .) That will mean I have 3 servings a day. Then in a week or two I will add another serving.
