Weight Loss and Exercise #5

My weight today was 214.2. Which is a 3.4 pound loss from July 4th. I know I've been on the lower Geodon since July 2nd or something, so I've been eating less and better and I haven't been feeling good either.

I got this walking pad online last night from Walmart. Its a treadmill without the sides so you just slide it under the bed when your not using it. I got a pretty good deal on it because of Walmart+ days and I had my gift card from my insurance company too.

So I'm hoping to start seeing some legit progress.

Second run of week 3 done, exactly the same as run 1 but felt easier. Beginning to wonder if it’s the time of day I go out, Monday’s run is late afternoon after full day of working and volunteering, and today’s was early morning, I always used to run first thing before eating and it seems to suit me better.

Food intake still going well.

New here. I'm not really watching my calorie intake much, but I just started couch to 10K today. First day wasn't bad, but I bet I'll be sore tomorrow. I want to lose 5-15 lb. The last med change after my hospitalization last Dec. made me gain about 15 lb., and none of my clothes fit any more. That also corresponds with me turning 46. Once I hit 46, I seemed to gain most of the weight in my midsection. I had been doing pilates daily and crunches, and it's helped some, but in the past I used to walk and jog, at one point jogging over 10 miles 5-6 days a week though perhaps that is related more to eating disorder thinking. I would like my clothes to fit again and not have to junk my entire wardrobe though once the Houston area recovers from Beryl I think I will see what I can pick up at Goodwill(still 1.3 million people out of power and the energy company serves 6 million customers, and a lot of places are still closed due to not having power or its workers not having power at home). Right now I only have 3 outfits that fit me (sigh).

I know I'm not fat, and my BMI is good, but I really need to shrink my midsection.

Since today was a rest day from couch to 10K, I walked 3 miles. I power walked most of it except the last quarter mile when slowed down to a talking walk pace. I am sore from couch to 10K yesterday, even my biceps. That's good though. I''d like to shape up my upper arms anyway. I hope I won't be too sore tomorrow though!
