Accounting

I've played in two softball games this week. I made contact with the ball three times in three at bats and actually got on base once. Sure, my hit was so shallow that another runner was forced out, but that hardly matters. I rock.

I finally started week two of the couch to 5k program I'm allegedly doing. Its been easier this week because my mom is not here. She's back next week, and Bullshark will be away. We'll see if I can keep to it.  Anyway, I've been able to run when it tells me to and just when I think "ok, really, I've got to switch to walking or something is gonna break," I hear the little notes telling me its ok to walk.  Minimal wheezing, probably because I take a few puffs off the inhaler before I go.  Clownfish walks/runs with me. Tonight, at the end of our workout, Clownfish and I each took an earbud and walked back to the car listening to his favorite songs and holding hands. Best part of my day.

Weight-wise I've been at a plateau for about two-three months. I'm happy that I haven't gained anything (playing within the same 5 pounds), but I knew I would need to add activity if I was going to lose anything more.  I really think I can lose another 20 pounds by Thanksgiving if I just keep slow and steady.  

Oh, here's a link to the actual running program Bullshark downloaded for me -- its called podrunner intervals, but I'll continue to refer to it as couch to 5k, the same way people refer to all brown fizzy beverages as Coke.
