Should be: "FIT BY '41, MAYBE '42" as in the YEAR 2042. Compulsive over eater, and it is hard to change old habits. Not giving up. Hip bursitis and plantar fasciitis have added to the difficulty but also to the necessity to shed the extra 80 pounds. Have to get over embarrassment of exercising in front of others because without some sort of exercise, I drop back into depression and coping with food. Including tracking calories thanks to free websites that make it doable. (Updated 2-22-12)

5 at 5 Day 2 Report
Did it! Knee was fine. Didn't fall. (Harder to wake, though).
Good job! I just asked Seth if the treadmill would work out for this challenge. I just can't do the outside thing where I live, it's usually around zero degrees in the morning! :(
I'm glad that you were able to get out again and that your knee is okay.
I see "Drink more water" as one of you MFG's on the sidebar. How much are you aiming for? My naturopath wants me to drink 20 cups of water every day. I think I'm able to do about 10 or 12 on a good day, but I'm getting there. Leaves less room for Coke which he wants me to drink 0 cups a day 8=)
I like how you've identified your goals here.
Sorry to hear about your 'w' though. I remember when I first started working with one company, they didn't know that the keyboard they gave me had a couple sticky letters (like most of the left hand letters). Every time I hit one of the bad keys there would be 3 or 4 letters and I'd have to backspace. Ah, the good old days!
AFG - I used to have a treadmill when we lived in Chicago...very helpful during their tough weather. I gave it away when we had to move. It's great you have access to one. I'd use it during this challenge.
Anna - It is hard to get up at 5. I may adjust that time, but I do like getting up early before everyone else.
LoneWolf - On a good day, I drink about 6-9 glasses. I don't count but do set my watch for about every 1.25 hours then drink about 8 oz. I stop around 7 so I'm not up during the night making trips to the restroom.
I had a friend who did drink too much water and depleted/diluted her electrolyte count. She had to be hospitalized. I keep that in the back of my mind.
Sounds like your old work keyboard taught you a lot of patience.

ReplyDeleteYay, good for you! I'm glad your knee is ok. I would definitely find it hard to get up at 5 am to exercise ;).

Woot!
ReplyDeleteI hardly drink water, so I guess I'm safe from depleted electrolytes :)
