Day 41

[onlyayear]

Wow, can't believe it's been 41 days and the only unhealthy thing I've had this whole time has been that pint of Guinness on Monday. Mmm, beer... anyway. I've been doing good. I think. I keep getting hungry at night. Not even hungry. Just... wanting to eat. Last night we had dinner at about 1850 and at 2010 I was wanting a bowl of porridge (oatmeal

Yeah, 1600 isn't horrendous. I went further over than that one day last week. I just feel bad when I get a bad dot on my Sparkpeople report - though oddly not so bad if I'm under my calories! which rarely happens today but hey.

Running takes a while to build up. I think I'm managing to do this so quickly because of last year when I... well, actually, it was maybe three or four months last year when I ran. I started in May and quit due to injury and serious life issues in August, or around then. The thing with it is that it actually doesn't take a while to build up and that surprises me constantly. I know you're thinking of starting the C25K and I cannot recommend it enough. I don't think you should wait - though I don't know if you have shoes or not and I know buying them might be an issue right now, in which case you should wait. But you'll be stunned at your progress. Trust me, I own a bookstore.

I'll work on pics - but the light's always crappy and you can't see the colour so well. It needs to be a sunny day again!

Ah, yes! Sorry, I'd forgotten about that despite how you mention it quite often. Apologies!

That really is rubbish. Are inhalers expensive? *tuts* it's so unfair how you can't get something you need for your own health for free there. Especially when it means you're restricted to do other things.

The thing with running is that it doesn't necessarily have to have you gasping for breath. When I run, especially if I've been at it for ages, my breathing completely calms down and I could talk normally. This morning, I stopped and my breathing was completely normal. Though my legs were kinda 'hey, we might give up on you lol!' which was interesting. My face wasn't even red.

That said, if you're worried then don't do it. I think you could give it a shot, though, unless your asthma is really bad which it could well be.

Man I'm in a typey mood today.

It sounds horrible. You know, the fact that you're still exercising as much as you do is all the more commendable due to your health issues. When I was reading that, as sad as it was, it also made me feel pretty admiring of your commitment and determination.

So looks like there's some good in this after all :) you are fantastic and you're doing so great. I can't wait until you feel ready to start the C25K regardless because I love running but I understand that it could be a while. :)
