The World Gets In My Way

Kudos to you if you know what song I paraphrased that title from.

Been a long week.  A friend of mine landed herself in the hospital and I've been tending to her kitties and so haven't been online hardly at all.  Most of the week I didn't even track my calories.

Still, it's been a pretty good week:

• Down three pounds.
• Down another half inch overall.
• No idea how many calories I consumed, but I did watch my portions like usual.
• 403 minutes spent exercising.

I was supposed to do my benchmark workout last week, but that fell through due to the kitty care.  I haven't been Body Rocking like I planned, so maybe it's better.  It might have been an exercise in depression.

If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise, she should be home today or tomorrow.  I can get back on track with both the calorie counting and the Body Rocking.

Also, October 10 marks the first day of running. If I do it right, this is going to be a long, slow start up and will be more successful than the last one.  I'd like to be running 30 minutes, four times a week by July 1st.  That's the conservative goal.

All the injuries and stuff have really set me back.  Thank god, none of them have been serious.  The only really long lasting one has been my left foot.  And I think that as I lose more weight and it takes less pounding, it will continue to improve.

I still owe myself that pair of jeans.  I'll have to work on that after I get paid.
