I am super excited about starting my Couch to 5K program tomorrow! I have my treadmill ready and waiting. I got my podcasts on my Ipod. Yes there are podcasts to go along with the running! Its really cool! I am ready as well and I should be getting off this dang computer to go to bed but I wanted to do a quick update to those who may or may not be following me.
On another note I finished 2 books this weekend. The Last Precinct by Patricia Cornwell was really good. I also love the tv show The Vampire Diaries so I bought the 1st book that the show is loosely based off of and it was good. I enjoyed the book but I think I like the show better. The books are a different take with same characters so its still fun to read. I plan to read them all. Now I am moving on to another series as well.

the Light bulb and Couch to 5K
So if you have been reading this blog then you know I lost my motivation and then I got it back and I lost it all again in about a week. I have decided that I am not going to be continuing with the original blog. I already log my food on bodybugg.com and logging there and then turning around and logging here was just too much. I am not stopping my blog altogether but you won't find daily logs of my food. I also was getting motivation from my blog but towards the end I found no motivation in it anymore. Nothing against anyone who was following but I lost it. So after floundering around for about 2 weeks I am changing my approach to things. One thing I have learned is that things may work for a while but they don't always keep working so you have to adapt your approach. So this is my adaptation to what I was doing. More to come about my decision.
SO we went to visit The Steele's Friday Night. We had to finally exchange Christmas gifts because we haven't been able to visit for so long. We had a great visit and Nisee got to play with Evans. They got us a cute Christmas ornament with our family picture on it and Nisee got great PJ's! Shes actually still wearing them from last night. LOL While there Matt and Stephanie were talking about this Couch to 5K thing they are doing. Stephanie is on week 6 I think she said and Matt on week 8. They are running a 5K next weekend. They talked about how much they liked the program and Matt has lost like 18 lbs since starting it. The more they talked about it the more interested I got. They told me I could look it up online. So I did and I think I am going to do it to prepare for the Susan G Komen 5K race on May 1st. If I start it Monday I would be at week 8 when the race is in May. I am trying to get Chad to do it with me. THIS IS LIKE PULLING TEETH!!! My husband does not exercise. Hell its like pulling teeth to get him to do the wii but I really want him to do it with me. I am going to be working on him still tomorrow. Even Bribes aren't working! hmmm... I haven't tried threats yet ... I WONDER?!?!? LOL Either way I am going to do it.
So now about my blog ... I am going to Blog about how things are going with weight loss. I will continue to report my lbs lost and my challenges. Its still a work in progress but I am not going to be blogging my food each day. I am also going to include my experiences with the couch to 5K. I am not completely a couch potato but I am not a runner by far. So If you want to continue to follow me please do. Your support is greatly appreciated but this blog is changing and evolving as my life and weight loss journey are.

Day 46, Day 47, Day 48, and Day 49
So Yea ... If you have been following this blog then you know that I have been having a rough time of late. Each day that passed that I didn't get on here and write my daily blog I was thinking "Hollie You are messing up a good thing!" AND yet I still did not get on here and enter my food or my thoughts.
I wondered if it was the fact that I was ashamed of what I had eaten. Then I thought no not really. I mean I ate Pizza, cake (lots of cake), cookies, fettuccine Alfredo, and candy. I ate lots of it too. I know I am an emotional eater and I know I use food as comfort but that doesn't mean I can just stop. Being an emotional eater is the worst kind of addiction. Its not like with a drug addict or an alcoholic who can just get away from the vice. I have to eat to live. I am not ashamed of what I eat.
I then wondered if I have over committed myself again but then I thought "Nope If you were able to get on facebook then you could have gotten on here and written your blogs." I am busy but not that busy.
I then wondered if it was my depression and the fact that when I get depressed I feel defeated and I think that nothing I do is going to matter so why do it at all. That sounds more like it.
Why did my world come crashing to a halt? Well it started last October but we some bad news about my Mamaw's response to her chemo. Basically her cancer is still growing. Since the last xray in December the large tumor in her lung as grown 9mm which is 23%. Tears flowed and the same reaction that our loss is imminent appears. My job is stressing me beyond belief. I also tend to beat myself up about bad choices I have made. And on top of that I compound it by dwelling on things. I am a master dweller! If there was an Olympic event for dwelling I would win it. I still think about things that I did years ago. I know its odd that I do it but like I said I am dweller.
So DO I give up and stop my blog? I decided that NO I do not. I am going to keep going. I am not going to give up. We all have set backs as that is life. I am going to try to work on the things I have talked about today. Tomorrow is a new day and I intend to start anew and motivated! I anticipate this will not me by last slip!
I want to say thanks to those who have supported me. It is great to have friends like you! I am blessed. The sermon at church this morning was about friendship and about what we should do to be a good friend. The Pastor had this passage from the bible in his power point and I really loved it so I am going to end this blog with it.
12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I am just not sure this blog is doing what I started it for. Once again I had another day where I ate too much and exercised none and for some reason I don't care. Maybe its apathy ... maybe lack of motivation ... I try to remember that I have important events coming up but thats still not doing it. Who knows? NOT ME that's for sure. I feel very defeated but I think this is all a part of this journey. If I can get past this and force myself through this then maybe I will come out better on the other side. Each day is a new day ... SO Guess what I am going to start all over again tomorrow! Pray that I can get back on track and have a good day tomorrow!

Day 35
Today is My birthday! I am 28 years old. I got lots of birthday love from lots of people and even my Wii Fit told me happy birthday! It was really great to get up this morning for church and do my wii fit weigh in and it tell me I am down 15 lbs total. However after the cake I had today I may have just gained all of it back! After Church we met with the pastor and a few other newer members of Hardison UMC about what we would be interested in doing as a part of the church if anything. After that it was off to Subway for lunch and then we watched the Penguins lose in OT to the capitals which was heart breaking. They were playing so well until the 3rd period. Yes I love Hockey and it has become almost an obsession. We spent all day at my Parents house in Mocksville. My Dad had just come back from the coast with a bushel of oysters so he and my family were eating those. My mom made pot roast for me and it was YUMMY! I had my traditional Red Velvet cake with cream cheese icing as my bday cake and boy it was good. I had 2 pieces and they were not small! We took our wii and I played with my Mom and Dad and they loved it! They really want one but I don't think they will spend the money on it. Just my opinion they might surprise me. Then it was time to watch the Bowl that is Super. During the 1st half my mom and I went walking to try to get rid of some of the cake calories! We walked outside too and boy was it cold. I jogged for a while and my mom picked me up almost at the end of the development we were walking in. I was proud of my performance no matter how short it was. That was my exercise for the day plus I did about 15 mins on wii fit and I also played some just dance. Hopefully that all canceled out at least one piece of cake. Over all it was a great birthday and I am so blessed to have so many great family members and friends (cake calories are estimates based of pound cakes).

Day 34
Today Nisee and I slept in very late. We woke up at 7am where she ate some breakfast and then we were off to dream until almost 11am! It was great and a welcomed treat after I was up at 6:30am yesterday. I was so tired all day yesterday and I think it had to do with being up so early and I think it contributed to my lack of control when it came to food as well. Today I am feeling better and I am ready to get out and go and do but there is a Hockey game that we will be watching first. GO PENS!!!
After watching the Pens lose we headed to Statesville to visit my Mamaw Evalene. She is doing ok but far from good. We stopped by to visit my Dad and while there my mom called to say she had hit a deer. Luckily she didn't do any damage to her truck so all was ok. We swung by Nanny Peg and Papaw Lester's to see them for a few minutes before heading home.
Food was not good today. I had lots of sweets on by Birthday-Eve which is not great for weight loss. We will see what the scales hold for me tomorrow. (cake calories are estimates based of pound cakes)

Day 33
Well today I was off work for my birthday! Chads boss canceled work because of the sleet. We had a good day together. We went to the bank and then I went to Maurices for some much needed shopping! Then we went to see Dear John. It was an awesome movie and I highly recommend it. I would advise reading the book before going to see the movie so you are more informed. Some people didn't care for it like I did.
Food today was not that great. We went to an Italian restaurant that I love and it was hard to turn down some of the great food. I also felt like I had no will power to say no to anything this day. Oh well I still ate less than I burned which is always a positive even if it wasn't the 1000 that was my goal.

Day 30
WOW 30 whole days of blogging each day. It has been an experience and one that have enjoyed. It has been really great being able to share my experiences on here as well as having the accountability of entering my food here each day as well as showing my deficit. Its been really motivating and I am so happy that I have lost 11.5 lbs. I just hope to keep it up and I hope you will keep visiting.
I made it to work today through the snow and ice just to get a call from the daycare at 2 saying that Nisee had a temp. So off to the Doctor we went. She has an ear infection in her left ear and she is not the happy baby she normally is. I hate to see her like this. Just want to make her feel better but I can't and that stinks.

Day 29
Due to the Snow today I was at home with Nisee! Her daycare was closed and they aren't opening until 9pm tomorrow. Chad tried to move his truck today just to the end of the drive way and he couldn't even make it that far. His boss is coming to get him tomorrow at 7:15 so he can be at work by 7:30. The main roads are pretty ok but the secondary roads are terrible. They finally scraped our road at like 5:30pm today and it did no good.
Today is February 1st which means it is officially my Birthday month! In just 6 days I will be 28 years old. Its hard to believe that I am going to be 28. I don't feel 28 which is great! Friday I am going out to see Dear John with Brittany and Kari for my birthday. Then Saturday nothing is planned but going to see my family. Sunday my actual birthday we will be hanging out just the 3 of us and watching the Superbowl. I am off Friday and Monday for my b-day celebration.
