total sloth

I have not run or done any exercise in 8 days.  After a long weekend when I had 72 hours to choose when to run, I chose to not do anything.  I just could not motivate myself at all.  And, forget the 7km, I couldn't do 1km!

The weather was PERFECT!
I don't know what happened. I just couldn't do it.
I was a sloth.
I still am.

Sloth - Sloths are arboreal mammals noted for slowness of movement and for spending most of their lives hanging upside down in the trees of the tropical rainforests of South America and Central America. 

The sloth is so named because of its very low metabolism and deliberate movements, sloth being related to the word slow. This is an evolutionary adaptation to their low-energy diet of leaves, and to avoid detection by predatory hawks and cats who hunt by sight. Sloths are almost helpless on the ground but are able to swim.

Very low metabolism.

Slow.

Just hanging around.

grrrrr....

Sunday Weigh In

Super pleased to be down a pound and more importantly, feeling really in control.  Even with traveling and work entertaining, I made some good choices.

Funny Friday

YUCK!  Run fast!

Wednesday Run Club

Last week was sooooooooooo cold and rainy that I just could not go for a run.
Penny was sick.
Of course, Tim went.
How does he do that?  I don't know.

So today I am traveling and will be on a plane to Sydney during run club.  I am in SYD until the end of the week.  I VOW I will get a run in.

And on a separate note, I now have decided to have a "rainy night" play list.  So, here is the first entry.  Any other suggestions?

Running update

I have two weeks to hit 7km and BAM....done.

The super interesting thing is the farther I am running, the quicker I am getting?
My last km was my fastest.
I ran the full last km.
I think the only thing keeping me from getting faster and back to where I was a few years ago is my weight.  It is difficult to move 250 pounds for any length.

This 7km was my furthest, longest and fastest.

Now I have two weeks to take it easy :) before I have to hit 8km!

Motivational Monday

I was looking for cute...I don't think it comes much cuter than this!

Sunday Weigh In

I am going to say that I am *happy* that I am up .2 to 264.8 this week because -
1 - that is basically staying the same if I am not getting crazy about it
2 - I want to stay under 265 at all costs.

So that is my win.
My GOODS this week were:
 - had a great talk with Heather the weight coach
 - immersed myself in a new strategy for tracking

I am not listing my bads because that does not do anything that is useful.

While this week will be difficult as I travel, I am going to start having more social time for breakfast and lunches and less dinners.  It is difficult to have healthy dinner choices when my willpower is at its weakest.

Bring on next Sunday!
I know it will be a great week. :)
