Camy here. Some of you may have heard me whine talk about my weight loss this year. I’ve been active on SparkPeople.com since December last year, and I completed the Couch to 5K running training program (C25K).
The problem with my exercise is I keep going on detours.
I finished the C25K program in March sometime, but right after that wonderful week of accomplishment, I had a writer’s conference, and only ran once. Then I was on deadline, and only ran once or twice. Then I went to visit my parents, and only ran once. Then I got sick, and didn’t run at all.
Now I’m almost recovered from bronchitis, but my running stamina sucks!
:(
The detours were my own fault (well, except for the getting sick part). I could have exerted myself to be more diligent about running.
Detours are my biggest problem with anything. I am not disciplined enough, I think. And I’m not sure how to change that aside from just try, try again.
So now, I’m redoing the C25K program at week 5. I can tell my lungs are still a little weak, and when I ran today, my legs were a little sore, too.
BUT AT LEAST I’M RUNNING!

It's hard to stay on track when you travel, isn't it? At ACFW, I see the hotel has a big gym. Hopefully I'll see you in there running when I'm in there (hopefully I'll be in there...LOL)

Deadlines make everything off track for me--running, eating right, sleeping normally, acting sweet and lovely. ; ) All of it--gone.
Hang in there! I just got back on track myself. Well...sorta...
