Scared

So I got a call from the company that I interviewed for at the begining of the month. I was hired on account of the fact that I pass a physical exam. I am kind of scared. What if I am told I am too fat for this job? What if I am told that I am not in good enough shape for this job? I feel better about it now that I have lost 38 pounds and I am lifting children every day. I think that is one thing that I am blessed with I have always been strong. On one of my message boards there were women all about my weight who were commenting on how they wish they could bathe by themselves, wipe themselves, and tie their shoes. I know there might be other physical issues other then obesity. But, I am glad that I have the capability to still accomplish those things and much more. My friend calls me her boygirl. Before she was married to a man who would do these things ( even married to a man who wouldn't) She would call me to come move things for her. If something was too heavy, if she needed help moving she called me. I grew up on a farm. I helped do the yard work. I guess muscle strength was always OK with me. It was cardio that was my issue.

Today, I was working with a client he was riding his bike. I asked him if he wanted to race back to the car. He said yes. So I ran as hard as I could until he stopped when his sister started crying because she couldn't keep up with us (she was on a scooter). Then we started again and I was walking. He asked me if we could race again and I said yes, I was breathing hard, but I said YES! Off, I went again as hard as I could. We stopped about 500 ft later he was distracted. We sat for a minute waited for his mom for a bit. And I asked him if he wanted to finish racing to the car. For better part of 2 minutes I think I ran. In flip flops. So, now I ask myself why can't I do a C25k?? Simple I tell myself I can't do it. I know I can! I need Jillian or someone like her screaming at me. Telling me I can and I have too! Mind over matter!

Questions?!?!

What should I expect during my physical?
What are you proud that you can accomplish?
Do you tell yourself you can't do something?

Weekly Weigh In

I was at 293.6 this morning that is a 2.8 pound loss this week. It is the TOM for me. TOM comes at random times for me I have an IUD and TOM does not come when I am not eating healthy such as wheat items. But, you give me a few weeks of clean eating and it randomly comes and goes as it pleases. Which is normal for TOM when you have an IUD in but, I for some reason the cramps are way worse for me with the IUD in. So, I am not enjoying today along with this headache I am experiencing.

I have a question, The heat has been in the 80's and 90's with a 89% humidity for me its completely different then the Oregon summer. My room mate says it is good time to work out because you sweat more. I personally just feel pooped out faster and do not want to continue. What do you guys do when it gets like that? Do you agree with Jimmy??

The Next Decade!

So Katy said she was making a mission to be in the next decade by next week! I have decided to join her I am going to be 289 next Tuesday for the VBL weigh in. That as of right now is a 5 pound loss. I know I can do it I have done it before. Today, I took my client to the park we went to the park where I normally do my walks it takes me about a half hour to walk the path that loops around the park. The mother parked about half way through my trail and we walked while the kids rode their bikes. I ended up power walking with so I could keep up with the children. I was sweating and breathing hard by the time we got to the park. Gave both kids under doggies ( have you tried doing this in in sand???) for about 10-15 minutes. And power walking back to the car. I think today I am going to conquer the hill by my house. I know its good for me so I think I will walk up and down it a few times it will be good for my legs.

On my message board we set goals for ourselves and check in with them once a week my goal was to loose 5 pounds and a 1000 minutes of exercise. I have lost the 5 pounds this month and am at 800 minutes of exercise. I am doing well! I am proud of myself! I do not know if that sounds conceded but every once in awhile I need to remind myself of such so I do not start being negative with myself.
