I am Horrible at this!

Horrible at this blog thing, not necessarily the weight loss thing.....Anyway.......

I am supposed to be writing a grocery list and getting coupons in tow so when hubby comes home we can go to that W mart place.   I am not a fan of the mart..just fyi.  Instead, I thought "Why not catch up on my blog? I started it to hold myself accountable, didn't I?" 

Ok, so let me evaluate the reasons I am having a hard time with this blogging thing:
a
1) We only have one computer.  It is a laptop and hubby takes it to work with him for 24 hours every third day.

2) I have a three year old - 'nuff said. (For anyone who doesn't know, that means I have already left the computer 10 times since I started this entry to get her a drink of water, blow her nose, help her potty, kiss her stuffed friend's boo boo, kiss her boo boo, and look at five different chalk drawings of mommy as an alien, fish, lady bug, spider, and princess. As I write this, I am also trying to cure Dora's hiccups. Awesome.)

3) I sometimes just really can't think of anything to write.

4) I'm lazy.  On days that hubby is at work and daughter has preschool I have 45 minutes of alone time, not counting time to get ready for work.  I could write it then, but I usually decide to watch something on TV instead.  This week I learned that the "werewolf" killings in the 1700s in France were probably a guy and his hyena. Thank you History Channel.

5) I never like what I write.  I have several drafts on my phone I never published.  And I never rewrote them, so nothing got published.

Ok, on to more important things, FINALLY.

Today is a rest day.  Yesterday was Boot Camp.  I am still sore.

Things I Have Been Up To:

I am walking with Team Avery Aeric for March of Dimes in April.  Avery is my little nephew that was born at 23 weeks weighing a little over 1 pound.  My sister started this team for North Central Ohio and I absolutely told her I would be a team member.  Please, everyone, if you can support the March of Dimes in any way, do so. 

I have found 2 5Ks to sign up for. One in May and one in June.  I hope to run the one in June.

And to keep with that I have found really great training programs.  Right now I am doing "How to run 2 miles".  After that, I have found a "How to train for a 5K"

I have also been researching eating for running and healthy recipes.  I am actually going to look up a recipe for Hummus after finished with this. Mmmmm.

And now, at last: Weigh in Wednesday (Sunday edition):

196 pounds

That's right. 4 pounds since I started. Not bad.  I wanted nice, gradual weight loss. And I'm getting it.  What I haven't divulged before is that in December, I actually weighed 213 pounds.  I realized how big (pun intended) of an issues my weight had become and started walking.  I didn't start running until a week before I started this blog.  I know that most people have big weight loss for the first two weeks of a new program, then it tapers off.  My big weight loss started before I began running.
