My successful day:

Well, first let me say I worked 7:30-5:15. (yuck!) So, I woke up too late to eat a decent breakfast, and I was half asleep when I packed my lunch. I didn't eat enough those two meals. By the time I got off work I was starving! ..light headed and all. Thank goodness I pre-made food last night, and I ate as soon as I got home! :) I had a lovely SP dinner of vegan lentil burger with cheese and avocado on wheat and applesauce. Very yummy. Oh, and I should mention, I got home at 5:30 and was in my pjs by 5:45. haha

After doing a few things around here, I logged onto SP and entered my food for the day. I realized that I'm never going to "find time" to make it to the gym. I'll have to make time! So, starting today, that's my new mind set. I don't have time to work out, but I'm going to anyway! :) Then, I did the unthinkable, I changed out of my pjs and into workout clothes and went back into town. I got to the Y at 9p and did C25K day #2. Only 25 minutes, but HOLY COW! I was panting wheezing like I only have half a lung. It was pathetic honestly, but it's only the first day, so I tell myself it can ONLY get better. I'm just proud that I went back in and did anything after I had been home once. That was really hard, but now I know I've done it once, and I'll be able to talk myself into it again! The good thing about going in so late was there wasn't a lot of people there. I hate when the gym is packed (which it always is from 5-ish to 7-ish).

OH, I wonder if this happens to anyone else... After I do any kind of workout for a period of time, I get a rash type thingy. Red itchy blotches mostly on my legs and stomach. I KNOW I'm allergic to exercise, but I thought there might be more to it. hahaha Like maybe my blood doesn't normally circulate through those areas like it should until my heart rate is up... or what? Any ideas?

Hooray for BIRD by BIRD! I've ate SP for two days and did one day of C25K! :D

OK, I had TONS of thoughts, and I hope to not forget any.

*I am the SAME way, that I hope I will just ahve time, but in fact it only happens if I plan for it, schedule it, make it a priority. Which is part of the reason I made a calendar. It is on a certain date so it is scheduled.

*SUPER on going back out!!! One of the days this week I didn't get to walk int he morning and when I cam home I REALLY wanted to just go to bed, but I FORCED myself (and it took effort) to get on the treadmill. I know how tough that can be. Super high five!!

*While I am sad that your day 1 was tough....it wfeels so good that I am not alone. :-) Misery loves company. ha ha ha Maybe THAT should be the name of the blog. ha ha ha ha ha

*25 minutes....interesting. When I read the instructions I wasn't sure (maybe it was just me) if the "total of 20 minutes" included the 5 minute warmup. Then I decided that week 1 I would include it--so a total of 20 mintues--then week 2 I would NOT include it--thus 25 minutes.

*I have seen people have this. I think it is that your blood is pumping. Everything I have read says it is OK and happens mostly in fair skinned people. :-)

Good job!! I am so glad to not be doing this alone!!!
