What I ate
Friday 25th September 2009
I turned my tracker record in to my Weight Watcher's leader because my weight loss has slowed considerably since I started exercising. Thus, I can't tell you what I ate because I don't remember.

How I Exercise
I also posted this on my waffling blog madiantin.blogspot.com
I thought I'd do a post on how I exercise, since I've actually started again and seem to be somewhat of a routine. Although it appears to be causing my weight loss to slow DRAMATICALLY and IRRITATINGLY, I shall persevere and see what happens. But it still makes me mad.
Anyway, I've been using a running programme from
coolrunning.com
It's the couch-to-5k programme you can see there on the main page.
The version I use is the one put together by Robert Ullrey. It's awesome because he tells you exactly when to start and stop so you don't have to think about it. You can find the podcasts here:
http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/page4/files/category-7.html
There are also some other programmes here:
http://c25k.com/index.htm,
but I prefer Mr. Ullrey.
Also, there are many people who love Mr. Ullrey and thank him for helping them put the tennis shoe to the road. You can find a conversation here:
http://c25k.com/forum/forums/18238/ShowPost.aspx,
where someone posts his email. Not sure how Mr. Ullrey would feel about that.....=D Maybe he gets sick of people writing to him saying "Thank you thank you thank you!"
Or maybe he gets sick of writing stuff like Dizziblonde wrote,
"Think I owe this man more than a drink for the amount I've mentally insulted him, cursed his entire existence and told him to shut up and tell me I can stop running lately!"
Hahahaha! That's so how it is! Whenever I hear him say "You should be able to carry on a conversation and not be too out of breath" I want to scream "What PLANET are you on??????" while I'm gasping and wheezing, and I want to smack him upside the head or something..... =D
Robert's website is here:
http://web.mac.com/robert_ullrey/iWeb/Robert/Running%20Blog/Running%20Blog.html
but I don't think he's updated it lately.
Learn out loud.com also covers Robert's running podcasts here.
ALSO!!!! For those of you who suffer from shinsplints, I have some wonderful news. =) I, too, used to suffer from shinsplints, Crippling ones. Awful ones. When I ran the 5k turkey trot last Thanksgiving day, I could hardly walk for a couple of months afterwards. Oh my good gracious gravy, it hurt. When I woke up in the morning I would have to shuffle around for the first five minutes, not lifting my feet off the floor, because it HURT!! This caused me to stop running, and I've only just started again.
This time around (though admittedly, I'm only about three weeks in....) things are much better. What's different this summer???
No flip-flops.
No kidding. I bought another pair of athletic shoes. I wear one while I'm running, and one when I'm not...and my legs and feet feel SOOOOO much better. I am really really hopeful that this will nix any shinsplint pain I have.
Another thing I've purchased recently which has made my life sooo much better: a sports bra. It's wonderful to be running and not have to hike up my irritating bra straps.
Next to buy: Socks. My socks are years and years old. At least ten years. They're worn thin and some have holes. The elastic is gone so as I'm running they slip down my ankles and end up under my feet. GAH!!! I believe today I will buy more socks.
Also, at some point in time I may start saving for a new ipod. Mine is the first generation original Ipod. Yes. The ORIGINAL one. The first one that came out. Yes, that one. It's fabulous! It still works! There's nothing wrong with it!
But it would be nice to have a smaller one. Mine's so heavy. I have a holder thing that you put on your arm, but the original ipod is so heavy it drags the holder down, so I've ended up tucking the ipod inside my bra. I know. Sorry. That's probably tmi for you. But it keeps the ipod safe and I don't have to expend irritation and energy hiking up the ipod holder on my arm all the time.
Also, I need some kind of sweat-wiping thing. My arm/hand/shirt just doesn't cut the mustard.
So anyway, enough waffle! Here's my exercise programme
I exercise Tues, Thurs and Sat because I work Mon, Weds, Fri.
I am currently (as of today) on Robert Ullrey's week 2 podcast. I was on week 1, off and on, for SEVERAL months. I kept starting and then stopping because of shin splints. With my new athletic shoes on my feet I've been able to get to week 2.
I have to say, week 2 isn't so bad. I've heard that when you reach week 4 or something like that, the pace picks up considerably and it gets exponentially more difficult. But right now, week 2 is ok. I like it because although it's a 90 second rather than a 60 second run, there's only 6 intervals rather than 8.
Except when you're in the middle of the penultimate 90 second run on the week 2 podcast and your ipod spontaneously decides - in the middle of your run - to switch to the beginning of the week 6 podcast instead. GAH!!!
Well, I could probably waffle on forever, but right now I need to take Andrew swimming.

Weigh in today. I thought as I'd
a) run 3 times this week and
b) not gone over my points
I would have done much better than last week.
NOPE!
I lost 0.4lbs. That's ZERO POINT FOUR!! I haven't even lost one pound in two weeks! I thought exercising was meant to help you lose weight, but ever since I started exercising my weight loss has almost completely stopped. WHAT THE HECK????
I'm SO annoyed and frustrated I'm at the point of thinking "Ok. So I'm not going to exercise anymore." How the heck am I meant to be healthy and lose weight if exercising means I don't lose any weight???
I'm irritated. I'm annoyed. I'm ready to jack it all in.

Today would be my weigh-in date, but as I'll be working starting next week and therefore unable to do that, I need to change my day and time. Thus far I haven't settled on a good one. Frankly, my ideal time is Monday at 9am, but I'll be working then so oh well. I think I'll probably end up going on a Saturday. I imagine that meeting will be packed though. We'll see. I suspect I'll be bouncing all over the place until I find a day/time that works well.

All veggies and fruits, all milks, 1 oil, all liquids, all proteins. Go me! =)
Today would be my weigh-in date, but as I'll be working starting next week and therefore unable to do that, I need to change my day and time. Thus far I haven't settled on a good one. Frankly, my ideal time is Monday at 9am, but I'll be working then so oh well. I think I'll probably end up going on a Saturday. I imagine that meeting will be packed though. We'll see. I suspect I'll be bouncing all over the place until I find a day/time that works well.

1 cup milk - 2 points
1 cup grapes - 1 point
Backyard burger - 16 points
sushi - 4 points
Book group naughtiness - 20 points
Total: 43/19 points
Not enough milk, not enough veggies, no whole grains.
I weighed in yesterday and had only lost 0.2lbs and was LIVID because I'd worked so hard. Talk about disappointed!!!!
This day was the backlash. Me being sulky etc. I could not believe how fast those points racked up. The book group stuff was an estimation. Based on this, I believe I ate an average of 60-80 points PER DAY before I went on Weight Watchers
60-80 points PER DAY!!!!!!!
And now I'm down to 1/4 of that. Yikes. No wonder I felt like I was starving to death when I first went on it. =D That first week I was HUNGRY!!! It took a good few weeks for the persistent hungry feeling to stop. Now I'm only hungry from time to time. I think my stomach has finally shrunk to a manageable size and it doesn't take so much to fill it. =D

So I used 2 of my exercise points from yesterday.
Poorman's meal:
Heat oil in large pan
Add cubed onion, cubed potato, and a couple of very thinly sliced hot dogs. Fry. I use very little oil so often end up adding some water so it doesn't stick.
Eat with ketchup.
It's Delicious!!! And Clara (in the video above) is wonderful.

Exercise: Plus 3 points
Green smoothie - 4 points
2 slices Nature's Own Double Fiber Bread - 1 point
I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have found a bread that is one point for two slices
Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge - 1 point
Tomato - 0 points
1 cup watermelon - 1 point
1 ball park fat free hot dog - 1 point
1 slice bread - 1/2 point
cheese stick - 1 point
1 cup milk - 2 points
Tofu - 1 point
1/2 cup rice - 2 points
veggies - 0 points
1/2 tsp oil - 1/2 point
crackerbread and marmalade - 1 point
1 cup milk - 2 point
1/2 cup ice cream - 1 point
Total: 19/19 points
So my exercise points carry over for use tomorrow - or whenever it is that I use them. I did pretty well today, except I didn't have all my milk. All I needed was another 1/2 cup (there's 1/2 cup yoghurt in the green smoothie) and that would have been only 1 more point - and I certainly had it to spare after my exercise. Oh well.
