When you are feeling lazy

NO EXCUSES

A Whirlwind of Updates

VACATION

August 7-14 Myrtle Beach, SC, USA

Visited: Waccatee Zoo, Myrtle Beach State Park, Huntington Beach State Park, Broadway at the Beach, Build A Bear Workshop, Grandma's Pool, Seafare Seafood Buffet, Above Par Vacations at Island Green Country Club, Liberty Brewery, Wee R Sweets, Dad's Condo

All in all a good vacation. Not so good in the food journal tracking category, but I LOST 0.2# while on vacation. So PFFFFFT! Kept up with C25K as well. But, I did get my first ever cold sore. It's still here and really sucks.

EXERCISE

C25K

START DATE: AUGUST 1, 2011

WEEK 1: Did Week 2

WEEK 2: Did Week 3 while on vacation. iPod threw a fit day 1 so I "winged" it with the intervals since I hadn't read the routine before heading out that morning. Learned the hard way that jogging at night while at the beach is the best plan of attack. :-)

WEEK 3: In Progress. Doing Week 4.

AB ROUTINES

Getting back on the wagon this week. Doing my Week 2 scheduled Ab routine. Reverse crunches, planks, and leg lift thingies.

WEIGHT ROUTINES

Again, getting back on the wagon. Just following my current template. Maybe some pool work will make an appearance sometime soon?

WEIGHT LOSS

-22.5# to date!

I restarted my journey May 30, 2011. It's been good so far.

W1D2 C25K

W1D2 done. Except I accidentally queued up the "Week 2" podcast. Still didn't walk at all. Hooray for me!

So last night I dug out my Camelbak so I'd have hydration easily without figuring out how to run with a water bottle comfortably. Filled it. Set it by my purse so as not to forget.

Fast forward: 0700 today
I hasn't rained in MONTHS! but today it is raining. And as surprised as I am now to say it, I never once though "oh I'll do it later then" or "not today". I thought: "crap. do any of my rain jackets fit?" The answer: not really. My lightweight rain jacket is too small and my heavyweight rain jacket is technically too small if I needed to zip or button it, but since I needed something the heavyweight was the closest to working.

So I get to the track and it stops. Now what do I do with my jacket? I balled it up pretty tight and stowed it under the bleachers. I guess this is proper track running etiquette? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Again, hadn't used the Camelbak since I was smaller and so I just kept fumbling with the straps trying to get it to "fit" right. On top of it, I was wondering to myself "why is today so hard?". So I went over my workout last night at the gym. It wasn't anything crazy or any harder than usual. 70 oz of water in my Camelbak is only like 4 pounds, so that isn't it. And then the podcast ended, Ullrey said "and for those of you finishing Week 2......" There! I was a dingbat and selected the wrong podcast. Thank goodness! Then I was even more proud of myself for going out in the rain, not walking, and accidentally doing a harder week.

Now I need new shoes. My left foot hurts and I think it's because my shoes are old. Ugh. Money Fairy please come by my house!

kthxbai!

Thanks for coming along for the ride!
