Or maybe I should start carrying a little hammer with me, so I can hammer my own self to death while the zombie eats my femur.
In 19 weeks, I’ll be running my first 5k whether I’m ready or not. Not just any 5k either, a 5k with an obstacle course and lots and lots of mud. A 5k that looks something like this:


So yeah. I’m going to die.
These are challenges I’m likely to face in the upcoming apocalypse, so there’s really no better training. At least not until I can convince my bff to chase me around and try to rip out my jugular.
I have 19 weeks to get ready, so I’m going to be posting about what I’m doing for exercise. I’m going to start small and try to build up to it. We’ll see how it goes.
Last weigh-in (1/9/12): 328.6

This week: 328.6
Week 6 change: -2

Better. Too tired to update more than that. This week is going to be murder. It’s 8pm and I’m still at work. Here’s to 14 hour days and scrounging for food in the communal fridge.
So, I missed weeks 3 and 4. I weighed myself week 3 but forgot to post about it. I was 326.6 at week 3, down .6 from the previous week and down a total of 3.4 total. I skipped last week due to the holiday and weighed myself this morning…
Two weeks ago: 326.6
This week: 330.6
Week 5 change: +4
Total change: +.6
Son of a bitch. I’m not overly surprised, I’ve been eating like shit for an entire week and I didn’t get out of bed more than absolutely necessary, but son of a bitch. This is the time that I usually give up. I’ve never stuck to a healthy diet or exercise program before; usually after trying for a month I start looking for supplements or shakes or something to make it easier. For example, ADHD medication. Because that’s healthy.
This time I’m going to try not to be discouraged. I’m going to try to rally and work harder. This will be the last year that I get winded walking up my steps. The last year I avoid going out because I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. The last year I wear clothes two sizes too big, hoping it makes me look smaller by comparison. 2012 will be my year.
Last week: 326.4
This week: 327.2
Week 2 change: +.8
Total change: -2.8
Ugh. Well, a +.8 change isn’t the worst thing in the world, I suppose. Especially considering I missed my workouts twice this week. And that I ate out… Six times? Yeah, I think it was six times. Five Guys, the sushi place, Timbuktu, La Palapa, Mimi’s, Los Portales… Not the healthiest of places to eat either.
This week I’m going to redouble my efforts. This time next week I’ll be looking at a scale that’s under 325. I won’t miss a workout and I’ll try to limit the amount of times I eat out. This will be an awesome week!
Last week: 330
This week: 326.4
Week 1 change: -3.6
Total change: -3.6
Woohoo! It’s a start! I’m actually somewhat surprised; I’ve been working out 5-7 times a week, but my eating is still out of control. I think I need to switch to a 5 small meal a day plan. Maybe that will curve my all consuming hunger. If not, I’m going to have to start working out twice a day, 7 days a week.
