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!

Last run of week 3 of couch to 5k done, actually ran a minute longer than I needed to as felt okay.

I did two stretches exercises one was for twenty minutes and was for ten minutes all in thirty minutes workout

My weight yesterday was 213.6. Its up a bit today because of yesterday. Fluids and ****. I made some instant zero sugar butterscotch pudding and some instant zero sugar black cherry jello today. I've had most of the pudding. The jello is still sitting. I've had some coconut chunks too and an iced tea. I'm not too hungry today. I think its med related. My treadmill was delivered. I'll set it up in a bit.

I haven't eaten meat since a week ago Thursday. Its not really on purpose. I just get like this sometimes. Its called being a flexatarian. I eat meat sometimes. I think Jello has animal products in it though.

I was thinking of making some Bear Creek Chicken noodle soup.

I looked at Reddit 1200isplenty last night and got some ideas. I ate a box of sugar free pudding with 2 cups of reduced fat milk. Some zero sugar jello. And an Oikos Greek vanilla yogurt. I had something to drink too. For dinner I plan on eating a bag of Miracle spaghetti, and a mini cheese pizza made on a small flour tortilla. I'm at about 1210 calories, 124 carbs, and 43 grams of protein.

I went shopping this morning and got some yogurt, cottage cheese, turkey sausage, bagel thins, pretzel thins and some other stuff.

Not like I have much choice today. I'm at 889 calories so far. And super high on carbs at 231 and only 1 gram of protein. Theres nothing I can do about it. But I do feel headachy despite keeping up with my water.

@Mountaindewed Broth is a clear fluid so you can have that. It might get a little protein in and make you feel better. I found broth more filling than Jello when I had my colonoscopy.

Run 1 of week 4 of couch to 5k and longest run is 5 mins now, typically the running segment starts at the bottom of the hill but that’s good training I guess. Handled it okay.
