@Discombobulated
Definitely sometimes life gets in the way of exercise, fatigue too, you have to listen to your body. Doing a 28 min. run is awesome! Today I jogged some, walked some. Was able to run 1.5 miles straight at the beginning of my run. I was really tired about 3 min. into the run but then it got better and I was able to continue on. After that, I alternated jogging and walking and went a total of 4 miles. I don't know if I can start week 7 on my program tomorrow or if it will have to wait until Monday. I may be due for a rest day tomorrow or at least a day of straight walking without any running. I'll see how I feel in the morning. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. --Robert Frost |

I walked on the treadmill for 30 min today on a incline. I wasn't feeling like doing it but I'm glad I did because it turned my day around and put me in a much better mood

I didn't do the 10K running program today. I was feeling very tired, but after walking around 5 min., I felt more energetic and ended up jogging 1.5 miles straight. Then I walked some, jogged some to get back home, for a total of 4.5 miles. It felt good to get out today, H has been stressed, and it's gotten me stressed too. Getting exercise was a nice escape.

Still a no-go on the whole weight loss. Really struggling with it. Have to keep monitoring my thyroid levels so at least all the effort will one day show results.
Just wanted to jump on here and show support and give hugs to all those working so hard and doing so well on their journeys. : ) ![]() ![]() ![]() __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I don't mean to make so many excuses but I know for a fact Zofran caused my increased anxiety. I didn't take my dramamine and I googled that and found out that can cause increased hunger. Now I stopped that too and I'm not eating everything I can get my hands on or chugging multiple sodas. I've only had 828 calories so far and I'm just drinking water now.
So now I feel like I'm not an anxious hunger machine. __________________ I'm Blue |

Food is gross all of a sudden and I've lost 4.4 pounds since yesterday. I did eat some stuff but my body just does what it wants to do.
Today so far I had a couple pieces of wheat bread for breakfast __________________ I'm Blue |

I took a rest day today. My body is exhausted and I'm quite sleepy too. I feel guilty about it even though I shouldn't. I don't think I've had a rest day in nearly 2 weeks, so it's about time.

I did 10K runner today, week 7 day 1. I actually can't believe I made it to week 7. Today the run had the 5 min. warmup and cooldown walks, a long run interval of 18 min., 3 min. walk, 3 min. run. I was surprised that I actually did the 18 min. run, and I'm not sure if it's because I took a rest day yesterday or what, but I felt like I could run a bit beyond the 18 min! During the 18 min. run I covered just over 1 mile straight, probably around 1.25 mi. After the cooldown walk, I was able to run a 0.5 interval nearly straight (stopped briefly for a drink of water at the park water fountain) and then later it started raining, and I ran 1 mile straight again to get home out of the rain. So overall I ran around 2.5 mi, maybe a bit more! And I did about 1.5 mi walking, so I covered around 4 mi today if my math is straight (math never was my best subject).
Today's run was a bit more challenging too b/c it had just stopped raining when I went, so the roads were wet and a bit slick. Then of course, I ran in rain to get home. I do hope it won't be raining tomorrow morning. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. --Robert Frost |

I lost another 1.2 pounds since yesterday. So far today I had a can of Pepsi, 12 oz of mocha Starbucks coffee with cold foam and 2 pieces of whole wheat bread. I'm making some Palmini pasta for lunch. Currently I'm at 510 calories without the pasta.
I know they say its like 80% diet. I'm going to add in working out soon. __________________ I'm Blue |

I didn't exercise today, I had a rest day after three days in a row of exercise. I'm gonna get back to it tomorrow. I might do some yoga tonight but that's about it for today. Trying to not overwhelm myself.

First run in a week and it was okay, I concentrated on my foot strike and form and had a nice little rhythm going. Week 8 of couch to 5k has lasted a very long time, but next run will be the beginning of the final week 9 and 30 mins.

@Discombobulated
Congrats on your run and nearly completely couch to 5K. What an awesome accomplishment! You are a great inspiration to me ![]() This morning, I walked and jogged a distance of around 5 miles. At one point, I was able to jog nearly 2 miles, and then I jogged a 0.5 mile stretch later, so 2.5 mi altogether running. If I can keep that distance a long run, I won't be too far from completing 5K which is 3.1 mi, at which point I may stop my 10K runner and keep my distance 5K. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. --Robert Frost |

I got some more whole grain wheat bread and another couple boxes of Special K cereal. I also got some Amys organic burritos and a vegetable lasagna and some salads.
I'm trying to lose weight but I'm also trying to heal my ulcers. I do notice 2.5 bottles of water feels a lot better on my stomach then 5 cans of zero sugar Dr. Pepper. I'm at 855 calories so far. Yesterday I had 1,540 but my sodium was kinda high. Since I stopped the dramamine I haven't had any M&M cravings. __________________ I'm Blue |
