I am a blob.

I have just realized how fat, lazy and incompetent I am.

Slim-in-6: 1. Megan: 0. That shit just kicked my everloving ass.

I had to stop halfway through because my legs were a hairsbreadth away from actually giving out. I took a break for a minute to get some water, and when I started to walk back into the living room to continue, my legs felt like someone had put vise grips on them. I also thought I might throw up. I could not continue.

How is it that I can walk and jog more than 3 miles, barely breaking a sweat, and still have energy to burn when I get home...but 15 minutes of calisthenics at a supposedly beginner level absolutely demolish me?

Clearly, I have become too used to walking for that alone to be very effective any longer. I need to throw some stuff in there to mix it up...more Wii and Slim-in-6, in addition to all the walking.

I'm going to do the Slim-in-6 3 times this week. I did it today...tomorrow I'll walk, Tuesday I will walk and do the Wii. Wednesday is supposed to be rainy, so that's the perfect day to do the SI6 again. Friday, I'll walk and Wii, and Saturday I'll go back to SI6. Sunday I have a baby shower to go to, so I can't do anything that day...but I'll probably walk next Monday, and then do the SI6 again on Tuesday.

I have got to get my ass in gear. I started taking the Metformin today for my prediabetes, and I'm hoping that that helps me lose a little weight in addition to evening out my blood sugar. I've been really trying to do better on my diet...I've switched to non-fat Greek yogurt instead of low-fat, I had banana nut oatmeal for breakfast this morning, I've been snacking on low-fat cottage cheese instead of having pretzels like I had been. My diet is just about as good as it can be...I could stand to cook at home more often, so that I could get more vegetables in my diet...but then again, I've been ordering more salads and veggie sandwiches and such.

I have had a bit too much alcohol this weekend, and I'm going to do better about that. I don't generally have any during the week, though, so I suppose that's good.

I need to have a good two months of doing absolutely everything I can do to lose weight. That's where I was going before my appendectomy, and I need to get back on that level. I just hope I can find the time with all of the other stuff I need to do.

Ok, off to clean my house a bit before the week begins. Later.
