Losing Focus

The past few days have been really rough on me. I seem to be losing my focus. Junk food is looking sooooo good and getting much harder to resist. Ugh! I will not give in...I cannot give in...but I want to so badly. :-( Add to that the fact that the scales haven't been co-operating at all this week. I still have two days before weigh-in so there's still a little hope.

Today I decided to start the Couch-to-5K Running Program. The beginning week or two isn't quite as intense as my workouts have been, but I'm going to do this exactly the way the article says. The only change I made was to add a 5 minute "cool down" walk at the end to bring the total time to my usual 30 minutes. I'd love to increase my overall speed and be able to run for 30 minutes straight. Maybe this will be the ticket?

On the home front things have been pretty sucky the past few days, too. My oldest has been throwing up for two days. Today she said she was feeling well enough to run into the grocery store with me and of course she had to puke while we were there. Thankfully, she made it to the bathroom in time. I also got a warning from the city for having yard waste in my trashcan today. What the hell? It was just a few weeds from the yard! So now I'm wondering if a neighbor turned me in or if the trashman went through our trash. Around here we have the truck with the arm that automatically empties the can, so it's unlikely that the trashman made that discovery on his own. I'm telling ya, I've a rotten few days. :-(
