that went well

derailed already.  damn me.  no reason, i just... stopped after once.

maybe i shouldn't give up on myself so easily.  maybe i should really truly make a serious effort to do this.  i'll feel better for it.

couch to 5k begun

on sunday, i did day 1 of couch to 5k.  it was more difficult than i had expected, harder than it had been when i started before i got pregnant.  i should have had a puff off my inhaler and stretched more before beginning.  alas, live and learn.  i am using my mom's treadmill, to keep things controlled, plus if i do it when she's home i have somebody there to hand the squirrel off to, since she's terrified of the treadmill.  i've found that i scuff part of my foot against the 'ground' as i run, and i have to figure out exactly where and why i do this.  

here are some 'before' shots, like they have in those weight loss pill ads.


 i like the way the light from the window shines under my chin.


and who knew my ass was so big?!  i felt like it was getting small.  i guess i was delightfully wrong!


the front shot, where i am noticing what a wreck my living room is and zomg why am i putting it on the internet... 

i might repeat this kind of photography weekly.  perhaps not only will i gradually get in better shape, but my living room will get cleaner.  perhaps.
