I went to the gym today and I got a good workout in. I ran 4 miles, and I did abs. I have been worried that I will lose the fitness level I have achieved by not running at least 4 miles. So I did that today and I am happy. I also weighed the same, which is a relief. My weight has been going up and down so much the last few months that I can barely be happy when I DO lose weight, because the few pounds I lose seems to creep back. I really want to get below 170, and soon. Today when I went to the gym, I sat in the steamroom, and I brought a beach towel I had in storage. The last time I used the towel was when I went to go see my dad in Colorado, which was right around Memorial Day and right when I quit smoking. I got that towel out of my bag and it smelled like cigarettes! 8 months later! It was a total affirmation that I do not want to smell that way anymore. February 1st will be 8 months. January 20th was my 1 year anniversary of the diabetes diagnosis and the beginning of this weight loss journey. I know it's a lifestyle change, but marking the anniversaries is a good thing for me. Doing this for a whole year, it doesn't feel like a "diet". It does feel like a lifestyle change. I haven't had a hamburger and fries for a whole year. That's what I have been craving lately. Maybe if I made a hamburger at home and made some sweet potato oven fries. Maybe I'll try that.

I am just wiped out today. Last night I went to bed at 11pm, and I got up at 9am. I did housework for 2 hours, and then I just wondered what was wrong with me. I felt terrible. So I went back to bed and slept another 3 hours. I don't know why I felt so tired, I just did. I didn't do anything today except go to the grocery store. I will probably go to bed early tonight and try to get up tomorrow and go to the gym.

I went to the gym tonight, in the cold and in the dark. I think the most important thing about tonight is that I went. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, lifted weights and did some light abs. Nothing spectacular, I barely broke a sweat. I think the most important thing is the routine. I have to condition myself to get up and go to the gym after a day of working. I have to condition myself to get up and go to the gym at night, when I'm tired. I need to get in the habit of going when I don't want to. I'm glad I went. You never say "Gee, I wish I hadn't gone to the gym tonight." You will always be glad you went, and that's the whole point. The main thing is to try. I am still a little wary with my hip issue the past 2 weeks, so I am not killing myself with running every day. I will probably go tomorrow and really do running and the whole nine yards. For tonight, I'm good. I went to the gym and that's all that matters.

I am getting ready to go to the gym. It's cold and windy and dark out there, and I will have to fight for a parking spot, but I'm going. Today I was walking the dog and I was in front of a neighbor's house on my route, and the man on the porch told me their wife had gone to walk their dog. I said "Why don't you go walk with them?" He told me he had just worked out and he was tired. I realized then that I am becoming that annoying person I used to know that always asked me "Why don't you go for a walk?". I used to work with this really nice therapist, 20 years older than I was, but so healthy, eating healthy foods and exercising all the time. She would never criticize people, but she would ask people "Why aren't you drinking water?" Or, "When are you going to walk?" She managed to give you a nudge but gave you an out. I guess I am becoming like that. I guess I really need to get with the program with my own diet and exercising because if you are the overweight person asking those questions, it destroys the whole paradigm.

I can't believe I've lost 5 pounds! I haven't been losing in a VERY long time. Last time I tried eating about 1500 calories a day I didn't lose any. I've actually been exercising less because of a strained hip muscle, which I am worried about tearing or hurting worse because I am a light runner. I made myself go to the gym tonight, in the dark and cold, and when I got there I weighed myself, and was very pleasantly surprised with the 5 pound loss. Then I did 30 minutes of elliptical to warm up, and then I started running. I didn't start to do "bad", the first mile was easy, the second mile was okay, and I kept thinking "maybe I should stop early" but still kept going. Right around 2.5 miles my hip started tweaking. Not pain, but tightness and pressure. I decided right then to stop at 3 miles - about 45 minutes of running for me. I'm glad I did - 3 miles is a decent workout, my hip didn't get injured worse, and I left the gym 5 pounds lighter! Great day!
