Kinda Happy

So yesterday I got the results back from the blood work. And they were all fine. The doctor talked about the fact that my blood sugars were under control was a good thing. But because I am over weight l still in the pre-diabetic category. So another reason to keep working on the weight loss.

Miles Challenge Till Halloween!

So, I just won’t have time next month to do a proper workout challenge!! As many of you know my life has been changed in the last few months, and this next month should be all about setting up my new apartment and getting things in order.

However, I am intrigued by this post that @fitscientist​ has posted

 and am promoting it because I too am going to take part in it.

I believe it shall start September 1st!!!

Now I am no runner and plan to get my miles in via walking and the elliptical machine!

I would love to hear about you taking on your miles over the next two months, so please share share!

Also, I SWEAR OCTOBER WILL BE THE MONTH I BRING BACK MY MONTHLY WORKOUT CHALLENGE!!!

Want to remember this

More tests.

So I am sitting in the clinic, getting another medical test done. This test will confirm the whole diabetes thing.

[theduckrunner]

Just putting this here as a friendly reminder

[theduckrunner]

Just a few steps. This was W5D3 in C25K ending with a walk Then some shopping with the wife And finished with a hike. The run was okay. Today I kinda felt like a runner. I have not felt that in a long time. The running was 7 min, 5 min, and 7 min with 2 min walk breaks in between. I was able to run for the first two and only had to walk for less the a min for the last one. Both Joy and i had the day off so we headed into the city for sushi and some shopping. The hike was great. I was able to get out and around the lake before the sun set. I really enjoy the trail.

Did it!

Okay i want to say that it was the best run ever. My life is so much better because i went. I can't. But I can say I did it.

[theduckrunner]

Don't want to.

Okay. I am suppose to run c25K w5d2. I have a lot of excuses why I can't. Getting off my but. Here I go.

[theduckrunner]

I have been trying these steps for awhile.  I think steps 4 and 5 are ones that I need to work on. 

[theduckrunner]

yup, that was my mantra during my little run time today.  There once was a time I could run 30+ min without feeling winded or exhausted, now I can’t even run for 5 min without the feeling of dying.   But I was up and moving out there this morning.  I got up, went out and did it.   

gentle reminder

you got back up again, and you can always get back up - you’re moving forward; don’t worry about the details for now, just focus on the fact that you’re moving

I think this would be a great way to display all those Disney mugs.  We don’t have that many but we have a few.

Today is turning out to be a great day.  Breakfast with friends!  

Youngest has a soccer try out practice.  Turns out that she still hasn’t made a team, this is only practices before tryouts.  Tryouts are in September, who knew that high school soccer was this intense.  Back in my day..... LOL, if you wanted to be on the sports team they let you.  They had the usual two teams.  Kinda like the Pros and Rec teams.  Apparently, this is all just for the high school rec team.  Poor girl, she is putting herself out there and she doesn’t even know if she will be on the team.  I can’t even tell her to play for fun, not sure how to support her.  

The oldest is off to her boyfriend’s brother’s wedding.  EKK that is a scary thought.  I know that oldest and bf are getting close to making a decision too.  but let's get through university first,  okay at least start, please! 

Dear Wife, tomorrow is her 49th Birthday.....  I have to do a little prep for her birthday but we almost have everything taking care of.  Today she is relaxing and getting to do what she likes....she is an avid reader and is planning to spend a good part of the day reading.

So I did the W4D3 C25K today. I started out with it and finished up the rest on a walk. Since the dr appointment I am been stuck in my head. I am worried about having to be doing another test for being a pre diabetic. I kinda have been discouraged about it. Why work at losing weight and being healthy if there is nothing I can do about it. I really struggle with the idea of having to be on medication.

[theduckrunner]

Yup

[theduckrunner]

It sucks to be so unbelievably lonely and antisocial at the same time.

Me. (via psychicsadist)

No joke!

[theduckrunner]

Starting over again.... but at least I am not stopping.

Reblog this if you're a fitblr with a SW over 200 lbs and you are still in the middle of your journey. I love following inspirational people who have done it, but I want to help and be helped by those still doing it.

So the Dr office wasn’t that bad.  

My blood pressure to quote the DR was text book!

Because of the lack of history about parents, the Dr wants to keep an eye on my cholesterol, no real surprise.

The disappointment is that I am still being prescreened for pre diabetes, I know at my weight and age I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am.  

I went out for lunch with our youngest, we went to a mom and pop joint, had a decent burger with fries.  I halved it so I ate the other half for supper.  

[theduckrunner]

Run and Dr

So I got out of bed and did my run.  C25K W4D2,  it wasn’t easy, but it is done.  

Now on to the second part of procrastination, I have my Dr’s appointment in a little over an hour.  I have not had a physical done in years, so I am expecting the worst.
