Fat Man Running

Well, I started C25k last week and was doing my best to stick with it.  I did the first couple of days of training and was all geared up for the 3rd, when I was in yet another car accident.  That’s my 3rd in 6 months.  I swear there’s a karma contract out on me.  So a little bit of whiplash later, and I REALLY don’t feel up to running.  Hopefully Monday I’ll be ok to start over.  When it rains, it pours!

On the plus side (or perhaps I should say the minus side) I am down 20 pounds today from when I started a few weeks ago.  Obviously that’s the “easy” weight to lose, but at least I’m seeing progress.  People knock low carb, but I honestly am never hungry and overall I feel pretty good.

New shoes came in… sadly they didn’t fix my problem.  They did help it though so that’s a good thing.  Today was my day of rest, and I spent it considering what my diet was going to be.  I waffle.  On the one hand I REALLY enjoy food and find low carb incredibly restrictive.  On the other hand I need structure to eat correctly.  I admit it, I’m a weak fat man.  So I’ve got to figure out what the heck I’m doing.  Running alone isn’t going to fix me, and I can’t really get to running hard like I want to unless I shed some serious pounds.  *sigh*  I need the magic pill!

I am actually missing exercise today but my legs needed a break.  I was also suffering from a little sleep deprivation (damn cat) and of course feeling lazy.  So enough excuses.  Tomorrow it’s back on the treadmill.
