I have really fallen off of the wagon. As of today, I have gained back ten pounds from what I have lost. I have no one to blame but myself. I have indulged, binged, put off weighing myself, slacked off on exercise. I need to get accountable again and one of the things that really helped me stay accountable was journaling on this site. I am so out of shape from where I used to be. 7 months ago I was running a 10K. I grew really disillusioned with running shortly after that. I am such a slow runner, and I grew tired of having to run almost 2 hours to maintain that 10K distance. My times for 5K kept getting longer and longer. I just ran out of steam. I was working so hard, and getting so little reward for my effort. Now I can run about a half mile at one time. So far I have fallen! I think I am ready to try running again, but it is going to take some time. I think I can run half a mile and walk 3 miles for a while at the gym. I have been walking 3 miles about 6 months. I really enjoy walking and I have enjoyed it as exercise, but truthfully it doesn't do enough to get my heart rate up. With running I pant and sweat and my clothes are wet with sweat, my heart beats within my chest, there is no question I am working. I think power walkers may get that much from walking, but I am not one of those people. I can get a lot of my exercise from walking, but I need to supplement it with something that raises my heart rate more. So it's going to be a hell of a time strengthening and increasing distance. I never left the gym, but it will be in a way like starting over. So I join all the other New Years resolutions people in the gym. Parking in January is going to SUCK. Most people don't come back to the gym after February. I can't wait.

I am doing pretty well today on my eating, however, the day is still young. I ended up eating lunch in my car - an apple and a sandwich. Before diabetes I would go hours and hours between breakfast and lunch. I can't do that anymore, I have to keep my blood sugar regulated evenly now. I really want to lose weight again. Like a lot of weight. I think I've taken enough of a break now that my body will give up weight again. I want very much to lose about 40 more pounds. I lost 50, I've struggled but I've kept a lot of it off, now I'm 174 pounds and my lowest was 169. I want to get into the 160's! I want to wear a size 8! I hate to even say it to jinx it, but maybe, just maybe I could run a half marathon. There are so many goals to reach and so much progress to be made. I've got my work cut out for me.
