Alright body. I've done well today and yesterday. Yesterday I had beef jerky (240 cals), and some other stuff that now escapes me, but I know my total was around 750. Better than usual. Today I had a few handfuls of multigrain Cheerios (I went to bed hungry and woke up MISERABLE with super low blood sugar), oatmeal with cinnamon sugar (Where did my fucking Splenda go??) a Pink Lady apple about an hour ago (yummy!), and two bottles of 0 cal Vitamin Water. I took an hour walk yesterday and an hour walk today, and its so nice out that I may go out later in the evening again. (Give the running thing a try again perhaps - thanks for the Cool Running link, Zen!)
So why aren't I losing? I've had two whole days! I should be 20 lbs down by now! Okay, so thats a bit unrealistic but its still annoying. I have the control, where are the results? (I went to the grocery store and did the thing where you have an armload of stuff that you DON'T NEED and then you get to the checkout and you're like, I don't need any of this shit. So you grab the 0 cal drink and leave).
I STILL haven't made any appointments to take tours of apartments. My lease is coming up soon and I need to have a place lined up by May 31st at least. I'm letting them know beginning of April that we don't plan on staying here another year. Knowing me I'll be pulling strings at the last minute, like I always do. I HATE apartment hunting. I'm getting to the point where I had too many plans for this weekend and so far none of them are really done. The least I could do is clean but I haven't done that yet either. (I really need to be on Adderall again. Motivation, no hunger!)
See how I'm getting a lot done right now as well? :P
So runners, tell me how you can run more than two blocks (unlike myself) without your heart beating out of your chest and your lungs on fire and your head feeling like someone is blowing up a balloon from the inside and your skull is going to explode. Seriously, that all happens to me in only two blocks. Less than a minute and I'm already praying for death. Is it even possible to EVER be a runner, or do I just need to accept my status as a powerwalker?
Okay procrastinator/quitter/fattie, get off the computer now. You have a whole weekend off, use it! (I already lost an hour with that daylight savings time bullshit! I would have woken up earlier had I remembered it was actually 10am, not 9!)
peace and lots of love (sending out strength in walking shoes, not running ones.)

I love Pink Lady apples! Have you ever tried Goldencrisp? Those are delicious as well :)
Good luck on the apartment hunting. I hate it as well. It's so time consuming, and you end up hating most of them anyway and then just have to settle for the one you hate the least (or at least I do, anyway, lol).
Stay strong and good luck with the running!!
Haha, you had me lol'ing over how you'd blame your lack of cleaning on my excessively lengthy (and numerous) blog posts. Nice try, little lady! I've actually used that one, but it never comes across as well as I'd hoped.
Running...man. I used to run. Then shin splints and bum knees came along. Now I mostly stick to the elliptical (far less impact and nearly the same cal burnage) but I won't lie...I still long for the freedom of a good outdoorsy run. Sometimes I do it anyway, and just hurt for days afterwards.
As for stamina, I think you just have to build up to it. Unfortunately, it takes quite a while to build up that endurance, but once you have it, it stays, just so long as you keep it up. I'd say that you could add just a few seconds every few times you run (30 seconds longer than you normally would, and then the next time add a minute, etc.) and see how that works for you. It'll hurt at first but you will feel SO strong and accomplished and invigorated afterwards. Especially in that kind of weather...Dem's sum prime runnin' temps, dey is!
I don't...I'm not sure what that was, exactly. Feel free to disregard.
I should go. I should be doing some type of exercise to work off the extra 200 calories I managed to pack in AFTER my last post. Yeah, I'm probably finishing the day at about 900 or 1000 instead of 700. FAYL? Only sort of.
I know exactly what you mean, though, about the control and restriction and exercise and all that with NO tangible results... Fuckin' scales.
LOVE! Shouted THAT at YOU.
<3
P.D.
ok not sure why I'm pretending to be a serious runner, but basically I run for two songs, walk for one etc..it does make it a lot easier
