Woo 3 miles! you go girl! I know you can do it!


Tomorrow I'm going to go to the gym, hives or not lol. I feel yucky since I haven't been working out much.

buutttttt on that note...I'm going to go take a bubble bath and try some home remedy bath for hives lol gotta try everything!

I just wanted to share.....

I did "IT" I ran my first 5K......33:37min. Non-stop:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I never thought that I would be able to do it. and after the crappy weekend I had, I wasn't sure I was goingto make it, but i pushed on and made it. and then I walked for a few min. and ran another 9min. "just under 1mile" nonstop to finish off my workout. so in total I ran 42min. in a 50min. workout.

I am so amazed with myself. thanks for listening girls.

That is wonderful! I bet you just felt awesome finishing that and knowing you were able to. And with such success!!!! That's a great time...in my opinion at least. Way to go! You give me something to look forward to.

thanks Rachel.....I am so proud of myself... I just want to go out there and do it again, but that woudl not be smart. my legs are going to feel this later.
But, thanks for the CHEERS, I needed it. :blushing: :bigsmile:

Congratulations Kim, you are truly a dedicated wogger.

I haven't logged on this site for a few days. I read it every day but then I feel mad at myself because I"ve been skipping my woggs. But, today's the first day that I wogged again, and now that the kids are out of school and I know my marine son is doing OK, I'm back. My thirteenyear old son went with me, he was pushing me hard. That first lap was hard after missing a few days. My legs felt like jelly. Hopefully I won't be sore tomorrow. By the way, I noticed everybody is going by first name. My name is Maricela....I know its a tongue twister....so for non-spanish speakers, I go by Marty.....I don't know who came up with this....it's what my co-workers used to call me when I was in the Navy.

Guys...I miss y'all! I don't know if you all know but I went back to work last Monday and I haven't been able to keep up my usual routine. I was excited at first because I was away for so long taking care of my son after his accident but, it got old real fast. Everyone was so excited I was back and with the weight I lost, etc., etc. I even have a few people that we started walking 2 miles a day. It just doesn't seem like enough. Also, I'm putting in longer hours than I normally would because school is out. I'm a secretary at a local high school. We work 4, 9 hour days instead of our usual schedule which means I would be home around 3:00. Plenty of time to do my usual routine, etc. Now, I don't get home until nearly 5:00. After I get dinner and tend to my son, there is just no time. And, to top it off, I CAN'T SLEEP!!!! I'v thought about just getting up and going treadmill but I'll keep my son up. I feel like I'm becoming too blah. Even my husband says it seems the life is being sucked outta me. Help me y'all!!:sad: :sad: :sad: I've come so far! OMG! I even ate...potted meat tonight!!!!:sad: :sad: What is wrong with me!!!!! I feel like I'm falling apart mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Jenna,
I'm so happy for you, that is so painful and annoying . I sure hope your right and that is what is causeing them, that will be an easy fix. there are so many new, "natural" cleaning products out there that may not cause thoses problems. let us know that you feeling better. I saw you on another thread, are you struggling with the plateau? I still am, too. I did the low calorie for that week, and I lost a couple, but I'm trying to hang on to the loss and get myself moving downward. I just spent the weekend overeating, so I can't see that that worked, but if I find the magic answer, you will be the first one I tell,OK? I know how frusterating it is, just keep your self moving and keep trying everything you can think of, then just be patient.

Hi Amy,
I wish you were having an easier time with your transition back to work. Change is always hard to adjust too. But, It sounds like you did ok with getting out there for some walking? that is a great way to keep going. as long as your still trying, your moving in the right direction. keep your trying to eat right, and maybe treadmil at differnet times in the evening, and just see if something works for you.
Just keep trying..... we'll be here to talk with you when you need it.

Thanks for the welcome back Kim. Jenna, I hope that in fact the Lysol is what is causing your hives so you can avoid this product and find something that does not affect your health. Even though I don't work anymore I understand about the clean as you go so at the end of the week you don't have to do this big, elaborate, deep cleaning. Hang in there Amy, like Kim said, change is hard. I'm not very good with words but know that us "woggers" are here for you.

On a different topic, I need some advice: I went to see my doctor last Friday and he told me my triglycerodes are too high. When I asked what did I need to do to resolve this, he said exercise and eating lots of vegetables and fruits should bring them to what they are supposed to be. My problem is, I really don't like vegetables, there's very few I will eat. Just in the last six months, I barely got used to eating broccoli and the different kinds of lettuce. I have no problem eating any type of fruits, its just vegetables, I'm not good with. Help......

Hi everyone!
I have been a MFP member for a long time but just found this group. I am a serious wogger. Last month I hooked up with a walking partner. We now walk 6 miles every day!!! (we start at her house and walk downtown to this small lake and walk all the way around that and back to her house). It takes us a little under 2 hours now. I have lost 8 lbs just from doing that.

She has wanted to start Wogging recently. I was apprehensive because I have asthma really bad and wasn't medicating myself at the time. I got a prescription from the doctor (100 bucks a month but I pay 50 with insurance!) and it seems to be working... a little but I think I need a stronger dose.

So far we have only tried it a few times but I could only run 1.5 minutes before I had an attack. The it would take me at least 8 minutes to recover enough to try again. *sigh* I feel bad for my partner because it is her goal to run around the lake we walk (4.5 miles) but at this rate, with me as a partner, I don't think she is getting enough in.

Does anyone have asthma that affects their running? If so, I'd love the advice.

Thanks!

Ugh. I haven't wogged since Friday! I feel so lazy! I skipped working out on Saturday and Monday (my usual days). Things have just been so stressful at home, and I've been dealing with that. But I'm bound and determined to get back on track today! I'll be resuming my C25K program tonight at the gym and then doing some good strength training. I'm looking forward to it, and it's going to feel really good!

Hi Vanessa,

I know what it's like when life kicks your butt and you just don't feel like killing yourself at the gym after that. It's good that you're looking forward to the gym tonight.

Kim, What have you done to get to where you are at and being able to go the 3 miles without stopping? Did you focus more on the time you walked then jogged or did you focus on a certain distance of each? Any suggestions as to what worked for you would be great. Maybe they would be helpful for me as well.
