35 days.
When we started this adventure, it was just about 50 days and it felt a lifetime away. Now at 35 I'm panicking that I won't have enough time. I'm also concerned how I'll hold up in these conditions, I feel worn out.
Breakfast: vanilla cereal, skim milk, banana
Lunch: chicken tortilla soup, cucumber, string cheese.
Dinner: currently undecided
Goal for today: take it easy at work, don't fall asleep. I'll reassess in the afternoon.
I ordered Proactiv on Saturday and I'm expecting it today or tomorrow. It's part of my get skinnier-better-healthier campaign. I feel better about everything when little details like my skin and nails are nice.
2941 steps in about 31 minutes, left ankle was getting shooting pains all during the walk and for the rest of the night... had to use an ace bandage. Left outside calf around ankle was very sore almost immediately into the walk.

36 days.
I was thinking I would save my weigh-in for Tuesday, or at least a weekly wrap-up on Monday but I cheated last night. I couldn't fight the curiosity, and despite just having had dinner I stepped on the scale... just cuz.
292.5!!
Five days, five pounds. And that was even though I just ate/hadn't pooped. So yay me! Small victories :) This morning I woke up remembering my good fortune, I touched a few places to see the fruits of my labor. It's most likely just my imagination that I think things feel different, the truth is I have a long way to go.
Breakfast: vanilla cereal, skim milk, banana
Lunch: 4 enchiladas, apple, string cheese
Dinner: 1.5 bowls of chicken tortilla soup with chips and cheese (I was naughty).
Goal: 3k steps at work, at least a 3k walk later.
4647 steps at work. Due to exhaustion and the weather, no workout last night. I am exhausted beyond belief, went to be around 9pm last night and I'm still tired. I also understand why people become Tylenol addicts. I woke up this morning very sore, it has subsided but I'm struggling to wake up.

37 days.
Friday
-No breakfast
-China buffet for lunch, but I did my best at editing my options!
-Half a buffalo chicken salad for dinner with a blueberry pomegranate margarita and half of a brownie ice cream dessert.
No time for exercise, my bad. Plus, I needed a day off after 5 hours solid of being on my feet.
Saturday
Breakfast: lucky charms with 2% milk, banana
Lunch: the rest of my buffalo chicken salad from yesterday, diet coke, string cheese for a snack.
Dinner: 2 leftover slices of buffalo chicken pizza, ear of corn, small nibble from a frosted sugar cookie.
I read somewhere that you should decide how much you want to eat before you start eating. I like this idea, but it worries me.
1175 steps at work, 3405 steps after dinner. Legs begin to hurt much later in the walk and with less intensity. Only paused a couple of times to stretch. Encouraged by progress, would like to increase duration/distance next week. Goal: 5000 steps.
Goal for tomorrow: do this again.

Day 2 C25k
Weighed in this morning at 297, down .5 pound from earlier this week!
34 minutes walking, 3100 steps. Changed to Adidas shoes. Almost immediately into the walk, outside of calves were burning very badly. Had to make many stops to stretch. Note to self: dance for 15 minutes before walk. Not much soreness for the rest of the day.
Goal: do this again tomorrow.
Breakfast: vanilla cereal, organic banana.
Lunch: none, still full from breakfast.
Dinner: 1 enchilada, 4 pieces of pizza.
I skipped lunch due to time constraints, by 5pm I was starving. Had an enchilada after work/before dinner - BIG MISTAKE. I really needed to eat, but I should have done it at lunch and not right before dinner. I had less pizza than normal, I don't feel stuffed, but I should have stopped at the 2nd piece.
