I am doing good, and keeping up. Edgar got me some running shoes for Mother's Day (I think it might be a hint). I am now running...trying to train for a 5k marathon. To most that sounds like a wussy marathon but to me, it seems impossible. I have just started running again, and try to run 2 miles a day...it seems to take me about 30 minutes. But this is on a treadmill. I find that when I go outside, and I am forced to run up hill, or the temperature is not ideal...I give up. So maybe I will stick to the treadmill for now. Shed some of my poundage, so running isn't so difficult, then take it outside.
I also gave up the low carbs and went to low calorie...that was a mistake. I don't know why, but it seems I can only lose weight with low carbs. If I ingest those evil little carbs (if they are in the form of bread or sugar), the scale goes out of control...even if I am within my calorie limit. So I am back on lowcarb. I think that I will do this for a month or so, then maybe switch to low calorie by introducing more good carbs in.
I've also been thinking about doing a cleanse...but I will have to give up my diet coke. Everybody tells me I need to give it up anyway. But diet coke is such a good friend. He is always there for me. When I am down, he picks me up. When I am lonely, he keeps me company. We have been together for such a long time. I just don't know if I can abandon him. I am however starting to think he might be hurting me (I would never say that out loud for fear he would hear me). But I have pains in my kidneys, and I feel like it might do me really good to abandon him. It is going to be hard on both of us.
About Me
- Jamie's Goal
- My goal is to get down to my pre-BrieOcea size, which is 135 lbs. I was nice and cute then...but I didn't realize it; of course I thought I was fat. I wanted to be thin like my sister Laurie. But now, I want it back, then I won't take it for granted again. That means that I would have to lose an astounding 79 lbs...oh my, I can't believe that I am admitting to the world that I am a whopping 214 lbs!
Hawaii
went up to 214 lbs!

I think that your split will do you good. Nice job with the running. I started walking but not a lot. If your kidneys are hurting, that is a big sign for the soda. I will try to give up my Root beer if you give up your Diet Coke. Have you thought about trying to incorporate low carbs and low calories? Is it possible so the scale doesn't go crazy? Good luck and great job!!!
Go Jamie.... I have always wanted to run a 5K. As a fellow running hater, This does not seem wimpy to me. I can't believe you are running 2 miles. Blaaahg. Which one are you going to run in... if it's a the end of the Summer maybe I will join you. Maybe it will turn me into one of those people that just can't live without my morning run... would'nt that be nice. I want to be a hot babe too but I also don't want to huff and puff and get diabetes and alzheimers when I'm 50.
Hey Jamie I love this blog! I just started running last year (junior high does not count) because a friend had the brilliant idea of signing up for a 5K. We had 2 1/2 months to get ready. I felt like I was going to die every time I ran for more than 2 minutes. It gets better I promise! Keep it up it is mentally and physically addicting. Great job!
