Overweight and doing something about it

Remember me? I feel like if I don’t post 5 times a week you won’t.

Let me first start by saying that I’ve been trying to stick with my couch to 5k. That translates to two weeks to complete the 1 week regimen. I ran for 20 minutes straight the other day, but I must admit that running is boring as hell. I need my music. So for 20 min run I listened to:

1. Wake me up before you Go-Go (By: WHAM!) x2

2. Buttons by PCD x2

3. Pop, Lock, and Drop It, remix by Huey and fellow rappers x2

4. Seether by Veruca Salt x2

Music is the only thing that keeps me going during a run. I don’t understand people who run to clear their minds, Vodka does the same for Moi.

Why is it everytime I go on Vacation I eat like its going out of style. Like every meal is my last meal. I hate it and can’t seem to get it under control. UGH!

 I started the couch to 5k on Thursday and for 25 minutes I endured it. Felt slightly embarrassed because my jiggly bits were shaking all over the place, as if my feet were the epicenter of an earthquake and my body were the seismic waves rippling throughout. I sweat a lot more on the treadmill than on the elliptical, why is it?

I still continue to lose weight, tho and that’s a good thing, right?

Till Later

I’m going on holiday! Much better spirits today, I took a happy pill. I will be away from the office for TWO weeks. YEAH! First, I’m headed to DC to visit the old man and have him spend his moolah on me. Then I’ll be in Houston hanging out with my sister! SO.MUCH.FUN.***

What was wrong with me yesterday? Hello, someone needed to turn their upside down smile the right way up. After I wrote that I felt like a brat. There are bigger issues in the world (pun intended). Anyhoo, I’m dealing with some stuff here, my 15-year old cousin was diagnosed with (throat?) cancer and that still doesn’t motivate me enough to quit smoking and I HATE my job. It’s always about me, huh? Well, it is my bloggie.

I’ve come up with an action plan effective on my return from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue:
1) Experiment with this glycemic index thing
2) Switch up my cardio. I’ve always wanted to run, but I get this weird thing called a runner’s itch, it burns like holy hell. I’m going to start this program
3) Check my attitude, remind myself that it will take time.
4) Get laid (Dr. Oz says that on average one should have nookie at least 4 times a week, if that’s the case, I’m in a huge deficit)

 ***I’m bringing my workout clothes with me. In fact, I even asked my dad if he has access to a gym. Gold star for me!!
