I successfully ran the Nelson 5K on April 16. I'm not even going to post my time, it was slow. I ran with my sister who had adhered to Couch to 5K plan much better than I did. Don't know if you remember the morning of April 16. In Lovingston, VA it was pouring rain and about 50F. In some parts of the county it rained 7 inches that day. Yet we ran and we questioned our sanity, but it was a bonding experience.
Sometime in the last few weeks I weighed myself. Since Christmas I have cut out soda and meat and recently sugar. When I weighed myself I was only down one more pound since I started all this nonsense! I can see why people feel defeated. I mean really. I should stop depriving myself and eat what I want and gain back the 2 lousy pounds that I've lost.
Granted, I have not been exercising regularly. I need to get a schedule going again. I need to start working on arms. My new career, ultrasound, will depend on upper body strength to stop me from getting musculoskeletal injuries.

Improvement??
Whew! Okay clearly I took a hiatus from the blog. I was tired of writing the same old thing...still eating sugar not exercising as much as I should be, blah, blah, blah. I got sick of hearing myself as I'm sure you did too.
I needed to make changes and I finally did so now I have something to write about. I have not had any extra sugar for about three weeks. Some of my friends are surprised that I just stopped one day. Me, the sugar addict. I didn't make a quit date. I'm not sure I was even conscious of the decision I just stopped. I haven't kept track so I only think it's been about three weeks.
So now that I have my sugar licked (at least for now) I need to amp up the exercise. I ran/walked 4 miles yesterday. I need to run a few more times before next weekend when the Nelson 5K is happening. I haven't run 3 miles straight yet, but I'm not too worried. When I'm under the gun I usually pull through. I will be slow, but I will run the whole way. I'm looking forward to training for the 4miler in September. I would love to beat my PR which is 32:55.
