Jocelyn's 1/2 Marathon Journal

LOL!!!! I'll keep that in mind Joc.

Just lookin' out for ya

I only lost .6 pounds this week, although as crappy as I ate this weekend I am happy with that!

With painting on Saturday I just wasn't in any shape to cook, and then yesterday was nephew's 2nd birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese (although that was kind of a workout in itself ). The birthday boy got scared at the top of the swirly tube slide when an older boy started screaming at him - he started crying and got too scared to go down the slide. So of course I had to crawl all the way up the tube to get him - I am sure that was quite a sight And it wasn't easy!

Sounds like fun!! Haven't been to chucky cheese in a long time. Glad you made it up the slide okay. I still like your skiing story the best! That sounded so funny!!

I still like your skiing story the best!

LOL! As you have probably picked up by now, I am not always the most graceful person in the world - sometimes I wonder how it's possible that I have never broken a bone

You probably have some good skydiving stories too!

FINALLY!!!! I got off tush and forced myself to do Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD. And it kicked butt I struggled through the entire thing, but I finished. I am going to be hurting tomorrow

Tomorrow night I have an appointment so I won't be able to work out.

yay!! good job.

I have to admit, I am a little disappointed. I thought I was going to be really sore today but I'm not I can feel it a bit, but I definitely thought it would be more.

[feelin-great]

I guess I spoke too soon - the longer I sit here the more abs and legs hurt when I move And since I won't be able to workout tonight, I am sure it will be worse tomorrow

[feelin-great]

I have one word to describe today - OUCH Why does Day 2 always have to be the worst

I didn't have time to workout last night so now tonight I have to decide what to do - elliptical or go for the DVD from Hell again I am thinking I should just be brave and go for the DVD from Hell!

I forgot how much this department is dedicated to it's junk food! First, there is the co-worker who eats candy all day (but at least that is taken care of for now). Then since there are over 50 people in this department there are a TON of birthdays. And tomorrow is a potluck Fortunately I had the willpower to not sign up for the potluck so I won't be tempted to gorge myself on that stuff tomorrow But today's birthday has cake and chips and dip - I am calling on willpower to get me through the day!

[feelin-great]

I think potlucks are worse! I don't have the willpower to not eat all the other stuff that's there. I am better with the going-out-to-lunch dates. I am OK at ordering something healthy - then I am not tempted by the other stuff that others ordered once it is at the table because I know I can't have it. I tend to graze all day when it comes to potlucks. And if I bring own food instead of joining in the potluck, I can still eat with co-workers, I just don't have the option of eating all of the crap that they brought

[feelin-great]

Well, I got home and was so tired I just wanted to sit down, but I forced myself to do the Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD. The first half was pure torture because legs and abs hurt so bad, but after a while the pain kind of disappeared behind utter exhaustion I was a little surprised I made it through the whole thing. The only thing I have trouble with is the scissor kicks so I only do about half of them - I think it is more mental than anything though.

I am not as sore as I was all day since I got the workout in, but I must say I am a little scared to wake up tomorrow

that's the way to do it - just power through and get it done.

lol!!

Hope your morning went good!

Hope your morning went good!

Well, I woke up and had forgotten about the pain. Then I stood up Let's just say the stairs are not friends today I am guessing it is going to get worse before it gets better. I only work until 11:00 today. Then the rest of the afternoon and tomorrow as well I will be painting, so that should be interesting with the pain in legs!

[feelin-great]

I am in so much pain right now I can barely function I was already in pain from this week's workouts, but then I spent another 4 hours painting today (half of the area I did last weekend, I re-painted one room of the two room bedroom). shoulders feel like they may just fall right out of the sockets.

Tomorrow is going to be another long day of painting, I still have to paint all of the woodwork upstairs. When I bought the house the downstairs woodwork was painted white (which I love, since the original woodwork is the worst orangey stain I have ever seen). But they never did the upstairs, so that is last task of painting house - thank goodness it will be over

But since I hurt this much tonight I am assuming by tomorrow afternoon it will be even worse. I am still hoping I can squeeze in a workout, but it may just be the elliptical for a little cardio.
