No Soda and Lots of Exercising.

Okay so just decide maybe I should write a little update on here. So it has been a 9 days of my no soda and spending every night at the track. I done okay I guess. The first few days at the track was great then after that I started hitting "the wall" and now my muscles ache and I just want to give up but I know I can do it if I just stick with it. So now I have to fight though that wall. Anyone got any advice please share. I am trying to get to be able to run a mile but right now I just run parts of the track. Hopefully one day I will be able to run the whole mile but right now I try as hard as I can then after my first mile I keep walking and today I walked another 2 miles so I was out there for one hour and did 3 miles. It sounds good but a long way to catch up with my husband who can run 4 miles in 30 minutes. So hopefully I will keep the work up. I do feel better about myself and I just wished the scale numbers would move a little faster. I see them going down just not has fast has I would like!!!! Just has long as they keep going down I guess I should not complain to much...lol


Also this is also the 7th day with no Coke (I would say no soda but Sunday I did have sprite) People who know me knows that I could not get going without a big cup of coke. I always had to have a 12 oz coke just to get me going. The only reason I had a sprite Sunday was I was sick and could not keep anything down so sprite is whats helps me feel better and lucky I had some left over. But that struggle is not going that bad. Even though right now I would do anything to have a Sonic Coke Float!! I have learn to enjoy lots of water!

Anyways...well it is April now...another month closer to July when Jeremy gets to come home for a couple of weeks. I so badly can't wait. Just want July to hurry up and get here. This year when I get to turn the calendar to another month it means alot to me cause it means another month now and another month closer to him getting to come home!!!! Oh, but on another note me and Jeremy has figure out little things to do since he now has internet in his room. Some of our favorite shows are Survivor and Amazing Race. They both play over there on his cable that he has so I DVR them until he gets them. Which Amazing Race runs a week behind and Survivor comes on Friday night instead of Thursday. So when it comes on for him we voice call each other on yahoo and watches them together and talks just like when he was home. Makes us realize that even apart we can still have our "dates" night. But it is cool!

Well I guess that is all I have to say for now....anyone gots any ideals on how to run a mile feel free to let me know!

I don't know if this will help, but when I started dating Isaac I could run a few yards w/o being out of breath. Now I can run a lot longer. It will come, just try and be strong. I was thinking today how running isn't about the physical, it's all about the menta. It's feels so good when you are finished and you know you accomplished something hard that you didn't really want to do in the first place.
Good luck!!

You're doing great! I can only run 1/4 a mile. I'm working on running 1/2 a mile. Just do a little at a time and it will come. I only let myself have 1/2 a coke or dr pepper on the weekends. Drinking lots and lots of water will help with the weight loss. I figured out I need to drink 80 oz of water. So while I am at work, I set a timer for 60 minutes, and I drink 20 oz in that hour. It's the only way I can get in all my water :)

Have you figured out how many calories you need to eat to lose weight? Also, you've been walking every day which means you're building muscle. It's a great thing overall, but not good in getting the scale to move just yet. Hang in there... It's all gonna happen for you :)
