Been doing interval training on the elliptical, alternating 15 seconds of running with 45 seconds of walking. It is a ten minute workout, then I add five minutes of cool down strolling.

Yesterday, I did two of these. The intervals keep things interesting for me. I was a little surprised how much I wanted to do a second workout yesterday, and how eager and willing I was (at 0400) to get up and do another one this morning.

My goal for this week is 150 minutes of exercise. Only 10 minutes of my stretch routine counts each day. So, yesterday, I clocked 40 minutes, and today I have 25 so far! Pretty good for two days.

On top of that, I am going to go ahead and diet. I won't be taking it too terribly seriously though, just watching what I eat and keeping it generally low carb. My focus, right now, is on building this exercise habit.

These are the first two days in over a month that I haven't been in crippling agony with my lower back. I see the doctor about that tomorrow.

It's hard not having insurance while I am in school. It means I put things off that I shouldn't. But, I am still paying off the visits from when I found a lump in my breast and that was a year ago! Thank goodness it was nothing, because I think I would have died of cancer before I could afford to get it treated.

Back to the positive: Good job me!

Both my diet and my exercise are picking up speed. I am at that lovely place were I don't really have cravings anymore. It is also that place were I forget to eat, so I have to make it a point to schedule meals in and sit down and eat them all.

Luckily, I have a few delicious and high calorie recipes to really keep me going.

What is making me extraordinarily proud is that I have pinched a nerve in my back and it hasn't stopped me. I have been in pain ranging from dull throb to snarling agony pretty much non-stop for a month. Working out helps it, stretching very thoroughly helps it, but nothing stops it. Yet, I am still sticking to the script!

It is hard resisting comfort eating, or skipping workouts, when nagging pain wears me down each day. However, I know that my weight is a major contributing factor to this pain. I know that, once I drop 20 or so pounds, the pain will ease and it will be so worth it.

Isn't it sad that it took my body rebelling against me for me to finally start taking care of myself? Isn't it lovely that I listened, rather than medicating the problem away to avoid the work?

Ha! Of course, I may have medicated if I had insurance!
