Well…. How is everyone doing with the exercise thing?
I had my therapy assessment the other day and one of the things we discussed was my lack of motivation/loss of confidence with exercise…. I’m thinking about restarting couch to 5k. But it’s like I’m resisting myself somehow…. I’ll see what happens tomorrow. I heard about people sleeping in their running gear but that sounds kind of sweaty. |

I suck at exercising. I'm trying to do everything just by eating less and better, and taking vitamins until I can get to a point where I can work out.
I finally opened a box of oatmeal I've been stareing at for awhile. I really don't have too much unhealthy food anymore besides some stuff in my freezer. __________________ I'm Blue |

I haven’t exercised in over 6 months (other than walking) and think I’ve lost a lot of muscle tone. I started couch to 5k yesterday, in the past when I’ve done it I’ve always started further in the program because my base fitness was reasonable but this time I started from the very beginning thinking of it was easy I could skip ahead a few weeks - nope! It was quite challenging, in that my legs just felt tired, and this was just 60 second long runs so nothing really. It’s 9 weeks to complete the program. |

I've only had 1055 calories today. That includes the 6 gummy tums I've had. I don't feel good and I think my nausea tums are making me not hungry. Idk.

I haven't eaten since about 5PM last night. I had to fast for a blood work and then I've just felt blah all day afterwards. I did drink a 490 calorie drink. So I've had something. I swear I got a different generic of Topamax too. That along with my nausea tums are making me not hungry I think.

I haven't been checking my calories or weight lately and I am scared to. I have to get back on my diet and start exercising because I have my trip to Los Angeles in 4 months. Need to try and look a little better if I can!

I did week 1 of couch to 5k last week, surprisingly difficult, I feel like I’m getting old.
Helped my husband with his physio yesterday which has some good moves in it, so that’s something. Better than nothing I guess. |

I've had about 1,227 calories today. I only ate half my bagel and I measured out my 2 chai lattes and my ice cream. I've been eating Palmini lately which is heart of palm noodles. I did go down on one of my meds hoping to get more enegry. Maybe it will be helpful in other ways too.

I’ve done the first 2 runs of week 2 of couch to 5k, first one on Monday felt hard, 2nd this morning felt better. I had a migraine yesterday so wonder if that was brewing on Monday perhaps.
Signed up to my running group for a short beginner course, feeling tentative but hoping it’ll help motivate me. Diet wise I’m not doing badly, keeping loosely to a Mediterranean diet. Splurged on chocolate yesterday but that was part of the migraine sugar cravings. |

I looked at my Lose It app and I've basically been the same weight since March with a 5 pound fluctation. Its good I've been maintaining my weight and not gaining, but I would like to lose 37 pounds. Everyone is telling me to focus on getting my health under control, then focus on losing weight.

I for once have a legit appetite decrease today. I do wonder if its because I went down on my med. I haven't had any iced chais or matchas. I'm out of fruit so I'll have to get more tommorow. I have one bag of miracle pasta left if I feel like eating it.

I had some watermelon which I threw up. I had half a non dairy iced salted cookie matcha which was ok. I then had a medium marshmallow cold foam coffee. Which I threw up. So I'm at about 861 calories give or take. I need to figure out something legit to eat. I've barely eaten in about 2 days.

Gained 4 pounds in total since I've been posting on this thread. When I went to the doctor, she was happy because I had lost 5 pounds since I was there last. My thyroid is WAY off according to her, so she will be increasing my medication but it will be gradual. I am SO hungry all the time it is making me mad. I am just eating and eating, hence the 4 pounds. I hate this so much.
Will try to check in every day and also try to exercise too. My gym buddy ditched me, and I haven't gone back since she did. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I did last run of week two of couch to 5k yesterday, just 90 second runs, I actually felt I could’ve gone longer so that’s hopeful. Aiming to start week 3 tomorrow after work and volunteering.

Today I had some more fruit for breakfast, and a medium iced latte which didn't stay down. I'll eat a bag of miracle pasta whenever, and dinner will be some chuck pot roast. I'll be around 1,045 calories. So I'll have to figure out something else to make it to 1200 calories. Idk what.
