Decent deficit for yesterday. 25 mins of activity.
My mom called me Sunday morning (I was at church) and she asked me if I could come over and help her study for her written DMV test. I was with Dave and was not able to. I told her I would come over Monday after work. Her response was "if that is what I have to settle for..." I was upset by her comment and I think that is why I chose to drink in excess Sunday. I am perfectly happy with a glass of wine or two... drinking 4 beers and two shots is a binge. Not good. I have been a little looser about my alcohol lately and that is not good either. Physically, mentally or calorie wise. So... I went over there last night and it was a little tense at first but it was okay. We went to the Fish Market (go figure) and I had Mahi Mahi. We got back to her house and I tutored her and she said she felt much better. She did really well and I am just hoping she can do okay tomorrow. Part of it is anxiety which happens to everyone but with the added memory and vision issues it is compounded. Interesting fact: She has never been in an accident or had a ticket ever and she is 76.
I have been spending a lot of time on the computer lately. I need to schedule time to exercise and stick to a plan. I need to make sure I take care of myself. I need to use my time more wisely. It is the little steps that lead to bigger steps and little changes lead to more changes. I think that is why the C25K program would be good for me. It is achievable and thousands of people have been able to accomplish it. A 5K is on my list of reasons why I want to lose weight (at bottom of page) so I could mark it off the list. I will lose quicker with bigger deficits. I will increase my flexibility and strength. It will help with my health issues. I will have more energy. ALL GOOD THINGS!! So now that I have written it down I am putting it out to the Universe, God and you all. Anyone wanna join me? Until next time...
XOXOX,
My mom drives me to drink, too.
ReplyDeleteThat way I have a designated driver. ;)
I have had to wean myself off the computer as well, sitting here does not burn calories....so I only allow myself on a few hours a day, and only after I've done my workout for the day...otherwise...we know what happens, we get so caught up here and time moves on, but us!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, pretty new background. I think this one might be my favorite yet, but so many of them have been so nice :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about how easy it is to let the computer consume you.
Some part of me is saying that I should try to join you in couch to 5k, but part of me is still a little hesitant. Let me think about it a bit, but I may well be joining you on the C25k journey.
I started C25K last week. It hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought!!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I put your name up for an award on my site! Keep up the great work!
