I woke up this morning and listened to the In Control hypno session again. Then I had my berry splash, a 16 oz glass of water with lemon and a large cup of tea. I feel stuffed.

I did W1D2 of Couch to 5K last night, but I must admit that my running was more like speed walking with a different gait. Toddlers would have been able to beat me home. Pathetic, really. I am sure if I went to the running store, the running experts would have a fit. I did add 2 protein drinks to my diet yesterday and the second one, I used milk. I felt much better after that.

Tomorrow I plan to go to the gym if it kills me. I want to be lean, long, and strong. I am lean long and strong. If you believe it, you will achieve, I always say. 🙂

Weight: 164 Loss: 2.5

In an effort to become a better person, I am committing to the Zen of Thin program. Part of this journey is to journal each day 5 things I am grateful for.

1. I am grateful that I have the funds I need to care for my family. While we may not always get exactly what we want, we can afford to live well and happy.

2. I am grateful that my children are healthy and that the ones who do have health issues are doing well and can still be considered “healthy”.

3. I am grateful for my puppy. She has brought so much joy to my life this past year. I hope to train her to become a good running buddy.

4. I am grateful for my computer. I don’t know what I would do without it.

5. I am grateful that I was able to quit smoking and am on my way to a healthier weight.

I am struggling. Last night I came home from work early and went to bed (at 4:30 PM). I didn’t get up again until about 9:00 AM this morning. Yikes!

I am trying to decide if I really want to do this this time. Yes, I felt pretty good after the last detox, and was down 17 pounds to boot, but I am just so dang tired.

I am sitting here making myself not go get back into bed! I simply cannot be this exhausted and make it through my life.

Weight: 165.0 Loss: 1.5

I can tell this will be a struggle. I am just not into it like I was was time. I am tired, I have had a pounding headache since yesterday and I cannot think straight.

I took the dog on a walk last night and tonight I am supposed to train Week 1 Day 2 of Couch to 5K, but I don’t know if I’ll have the energy.

Weight: 166.5 Loss: 0

I started the detox again today. I am not as excited about it this time, but I am motivated. I finished the detox last time feeling pretty good and just completely blew that by getting back into the same bad habits.

I was 160 when the detox ended the last time and today I am 166.5. I guess that’s not too bad of a regain. I must wear some heavy clothes, because the WW scales have me at almost 10 pounds heavier.

Anyway, the hypnosis CD have shipped, so I am excited about that. I hope it doesn’t take too long to get here! I feel like a crazed loon with all these weight loss tactics. As it stands, I am detoxing, I have 2.5 months worth of NutriSystem food in the pantry, I am attending Weight Watchers meetings and tracking points, and I will be undergoing hypnosis. Yikes.

I also started Couch to 5K last night. I am not a runner and it sucked. At some point in the run, it was more like walking with my feet picked up differently. Slow…. I clocked the miles this morning and it took me about 35 minutes to get back home and it was approximately 1.6 miles. I don’t think that’s very good. 🙂
