Week 5: Walk It

Another week with weight-loss. This week I lost 0.8kg (or 1.7lbs). I am really happy about this. I just hope I will be able to keep it up when my parents come home with regards to food. They do know that I am trying to loose weight so I will just have to make sure I continue measuring my food. Also I guess I will have to cook more. *sigh*

Today my sides and arms are hurting, I must have overdone it with the yoga yesterday. So instead of the yoga pass I had planned I went for an hour long walk at a brisk tempo. It was such a nice day I felt I couldn't stay indoors. I did wait until after 10am though to let some of the pollen settle. So far I am doing okay with the allergies. I think taking medication both at night and in the morning is really helping. This afternoon I napped. I was shattered. I should have been doing school work (like studying for my exam) but I just couldn't focus. I guess I will have to wing it. Thank goodness it is a take home exam so I can use my book. And I will need to start reading Carrie either tonight or tomorrow. I will definitely bring it with me to the doctors tomorrow. Maybe I can get a few pages read in the waiting room. I have next weekend to read it too.

I found another site yesterday that has a c25k program. Next week I am going to evaluate the two programs and see which one I like the best. I also need to buy a pair of running shoes. I am thinking of asking for them for my birthday at the end of May but I have other things I want then as well. We shall see.
