Good evening, (I say in my most vampire-ish voice) LOL
Today Braunt's team played the Rams. While it was a little brutal in score, it was more brutal in the fact that the referees, yes the blessed zebra officials, we're taunting and teasing our players. Now, our team isn't such that we can't take some verbal abuse, but when it comes from the ones who are supposed to be non-biased - that's just not right. Let it go ... let it go. I snapped off almost 1K pictures and I think I got everyone on the field at least once or twice, at least. :-) Good game team!
Conservative Run Program
7-Month program
A walk/run routine
3-4 days per week
Use this if you are only slightly overweight. Will be easier on your joints. If you find that your knees hurt on this, it may be wise to lose some weight with a proper diet and start out with a swimming/cycling regimen such as the Beginner Exercise Program for several months until you have lost some weight and have established an aerobic base.
You can follow with any of the Sprint Programs.

What else? Well, a friend of mine - we'll call her Cathy - wrote to me last week to ask about some weight loss program I had successfully used in the past (WDD). No, it obviously didn't work continually, but it did work for a while. Anyway, she wanted to know what it was and what you had to do and if I had heard anything about O.A. and she is thinking of that. I pondered her message for a day or two before getting back to her on this message, when I typically respond within a matter of minutes. This gets me thinking about the measurements I posted a few months back and what I have or haven't done to change them.
My Drey - wow!! He's changing by leaps and bounds! He's running and lifting weights and eating very healthily and just overall taking great care of himself (I think he's even brushing his teeth twice a day - LOL). Anyway, my boy is very willing to assist me by being my workout partner and it certainly wouldn't hurt for me to model myself after him. He's setting such a great example of how to live a balanced lifestyle. He's going to be posting some pictures soon, so I'll sneak a couple of them and put them here once he does.
Anyway, Drey made some huge drastic changes as well as a bunch of little changes. He chooses to eat different food now and in different quantities. He moves his body minimum 30 minutes a day, and he lifts weights for a few hours a day. He says he's happier than he's ever been and he is looking toward the future with a better attitude, so that's great. Drey still wants to take power engineering technology, but I think he will be putting applications out to a few other places - just to cover the bases in case NAIT doesn't pan out.
Back to what I need to be doing with myself. When I try to make big changes, they typically don't work. Although I can buy into just about anything for the short term, it's the long term aspect that I just can't get through the noggin. There absolutely has to be a way to get my body into some semblance of a healthier shape and stay there for life, and I'm pretty sure the first thing to do is get moving! I'm currently complaining about a recurring ankle injury; I'm supposed to let it heal before I do anything, so it's the perfect excuse not to do anything. However, if I always have something that's a little achy or sore and I don't do anything because of those aches and pains - well, then I never get anywhere. Okay, so we Step #1 - Move Your Body. Let's try the walk/run program again, especially now that it's getting nicer out; this one is a little slower paced with some good walking breaks.
I just read this article relating to overweight folks and walk/run programs. It advises:

Perhaps that is why the first time I tried this I injured myself and it seemed to take forever to heal. Going further along those lines, perhaps I should stick to walking the fat little dogs until I drop a bit of weight and then get into running when I stand a lesser chance of injuring myself due to carrying too much weight. Interesting. Here is some information from Capital Health that you might find useful.
Time for me to hit the tub. More thoughts (and hopefully action) tomorrow. :-)
Toodles!
