oops I took a break. I had it in my head I was going to post something every day whether it had to do with health or motivation in my life, but one night I just had nothing. then I forgot or whatever. yeah life gets in the way...
I will have to get motivated again and get started on the new c25k program. it looks easier to get into and better balanced to build up to the point I used to be at while running.
Daisy's finally asleep so I'm off to bed. Work in the morning. Breakfast first since the state is bound to still be there! yikes!
goodnight,

chilly walks :)
I had a great walk with the pup tonight and my friend and her pup. It was really cold but we went on a shortened route of our normal. Then we take them to a field down the road to romp :) Daisy is NUTS! She has a great time with her friend Flash...
Dogs are so simple. I wonder where they get their drive and energy. The pups kept going once we got back to my house and then Daisy kept going once Flash and his mom left. I'm spent. She's winding down...
I didn't sleep much last night like I had planned. I fell asleep around midnight after going to bed at 11:30 and slept soundly until 2am. then, nothing. I couldn't fall back to sleep however I tried. We'll try again tonight.
sleep!

baby steps...
Today wasn't a great success since I spent the majority of it on the couch snuggling with the pup and snoozing. I did however find some great juice recipes and pick out a juicer to potentially buy. I'm not going to do the reboot all juice plan for 60 days but I might factor that into my healthier eating plan. If I can get myself to choose a better snack like a large glass of veggie juice instead of a chunk of fudge or cup of ice cream, that's progress.
Tonight I had veggies and ranch for dinner along side a couple frozen waffles. This is what I mean by baby steps. I need to use the food I have, since I cannot afford to just throw it all away like a lot of people tell you to do. It's not all bad food but maybe just not the right choice for a meal. I need to make a weekly grocery list and follow it. Then I can make my menus and plan better lunches to bring to work. I may still bring cereal for my night shifts since it's easy and I'm not usually starving at that point. We'll just have to see how long it takes to get organized and into a good routine. I hope to make it a routine by the end of this month.
Time for bed! Hoping to get up a bit earlier than usual to get into a breakfast routine as well :)
goodnight.

First post
I know so many people make resolutions in the new year, and I hate to be one of those people. I actually don't count myself in that population. I have been thinking about and actively trying to begin my journey to becoming a healthier person for months. Since I graduated nursing school actually. I used to be healthier, I miss that me. I look forward to becoming that me again... I have more time now that school is over and my work schedule is settled. Now I need to motivate.
First off, I have been trying to eat healthy. I slip up and go for the easy meals sometimes, more often than I'd like to admit, but I DO have healthy recipes and have those healthy cravings too.
Second, I have the urge to run. I think about it all the time. I have my routine in my head. I have workouts planned. I miss the energy it gave me afterwards, the thrill of completing a great hill or long run when I failed before. I NEED this back in my life. I'm completely unconditioned. Maybe I'll just start back at day 1 week 1 of couch25k...
Third, I'm depressed from being on the highest end of overweight than I've ever been. I made it down 12-15 pounds from the end of school (I had gained 40 or so pounds in my 2 years of school), but the holidays and lack of energy post-overnight and sedentary lifestyle has made me gain a couple pounds back... which makes me more depressed. I need to change my routine and get back to the brighter side of things. I remember being happy. I want to be there again. I have so many great things in my life. I need to enjoy them again.
3... 2... 1... get off the couch!
