I am so weak......push me out the door :-) (Read 1102 times)

The title of your post ("I am so weak") reminded me of Hans & Franz from SNL. Maybe this will pump you up. If not, well it is funny! Franz: Hello! We're back! Hans: I am Hans. Franz: And I am Franz. Together: And we just want to.. [ clap ] Pump.. you up! Hans: Alright. But before we can pump you up tonight, we have to answer a piece of viewer mail. Franz: Ya. Ya. This is a letter we received from a Bill Tompkins. I'll only read an excerpt, so I don't go into his loser details. "Dear Hans & Franz: I have recently seen your.. mo-.. mo-" Hans: Moronic. Franz: "..Your moronic show, and have wondered why you don't open your own gym. Maybe you are too stupid." [ crumples letter ] You know, maybe you thought this letter would make us angry; but it only makes us sad. Hans: Really, ya. We are sad, you know, because anyone who calls us "stupid" is really just jealous. Because their girlfriend looks at us, then looks at him, and realizes she's cuddling up with a little girly-man! Franz: Ya. Ya, girly-man. Hear me now and believe me later - but don't think about it ever, because, if you try to think, you might cause a flabulance! Hans: Ya! Franz: Poor little girly-man, alone in his girly-house! Hans: Sorry, Mr. Girly-Man, but here's a treat for your girlfriend! [ Hans & Franz flex their muscles egotistically ] run4fun - run for fun (never mind the muscleheads)!

Wow. It is refreshing to see that I am in good company. I walked during a couple of breaks today. Could not sneak away at lunch today. I can not get my heart rate up during the walks. Though I assume they will do their pourpose of getting my body ready for some runs. I have actually been walking on breaks or lunches for a while now. Just around the area around my office. I am thinking about this for a routine for maybe a few weeks then start the C25K program. Since I work 4 10's 7:30 to 6pm m-th I am going to try the following schedule: M: eliptica, l W: 45 minute walk when kids are a sleep, F: 45 min walk, SU: 45 min walk. that is 4 days of dedicated excercize. Keeping in mind that I will still keep walking on breaks and some lunches. I want to just jump in to C25K program. But man I do not want to injure that groin again. Also I think I need to try and get better sleep. I used to run in the mornings before work. Hopefully by the time I get to add running to my routine I will have the sleeping issue worked out and can try running before work again. Right now it is just so cold that walking at 5 in the morning in singe to teens does not sound like fun. At least not yet. Thanks to all. And all have a good run.

All that you've started is great! Keep it up. Don't be in any big hurry to ramp things up or get back to running. You don't want to end up injuring or re-injuring yourself. And, if you need futher motivation... just remember how blessed you are to be able to walk or run. Not everyone is so blessed, or ever was for that matter.

Run4fun. My all time high was 255. I'm just under 200 now but, was 185 two years ago so, I know how fun the weight gain rollercoaster can be sometimes. I remember the happy day my BMI went from being obese to being merely overweight. When I first started dropping weight I alternated using a rowing machine & one of those Nordic Trak skiing machines because I was concerned about what running at my weight would do to my knees & joints. I might've been overly cautious. C25K sounds like a good way to go. Were you treated by a doctor for you original groin pull? Did he/she give you some kind of stretching/strengthening exercises you could do so, you don't reinjure yourself. Good luck. You can do it.
