Lil' Update

Hurricane Ike threw off my diet, so I'm not even going to post my weight. Ike FORCED me to eat cookies, cokes, go crazy on burgers once we got power, and the like... it wasn't me, honest! So I'm scared to look at the scale.

However, yesterday I DID manage to do Day 1 of Week 4 (WOW, FOUR!) of the Couch to 5K... those last 5 minutes of jogging almost did me in, but I finished it. I think I kind of pulled something, though, but not bad, between the hip and the thigh, cause it hurts a bit when I walk, but hopefully won't affect my jogging.

As far as hundred push-ups... okay, am I the only one having issues with Week 3? I cannot, for the life of me, finish Day 1 of Column 1 properly, and I've had to repeat Week 3 the last two weeks... so what gives? Is it me? Is it the program?

I just fatigue right before Level 5, every time.

Anyway, just trying to regain some semblance of normalcy after the Hurricane. Strange how we cling on the simple stuff.

Sarah, by the way, is your brother okay? Is there anything I can do since I'm here?

God bless all y'all. :)

1 - I guess we can chalk up your "stumble" as just another casualty of Ike. :)

2 - I'm totally on board with you about Wk 3 of hundred push-ups. I can't even get through level ONE! I'm re-trying Wk 2, so we'll see about moving on next week, but something tells me I'll be doing Wk 2 yet again!

3 - I'm really glad to see that your family's okay. You've been in my prayers lately.

4 - As far as my brother, I think he's okay, but I don't really know. He's a whole LOOOOOOOONG story, but for now I think he's living with (are you ready for this?) some guys from his (ex?)girlfriend's grandparents' church. Apparently they only speak Spanish, and as of two days ago they still didn't have power. But, I think they said they could get him a job, so he's going to stay down there. I really don't know. I worry about him a lot, but he's a big boy now and can take care of himself. And I REALLY don't want him bringing his rollercoaster of a relationship back home again. (Sorry if that was too much info...I'm just really concerned for him...he's my little brother, and I'll always worry about him.)

Anyway, I'm glad you're doing okay after the craziness.
