I was sitting here looking for my running mojo wondering where in the heck it went when I read your comment. Once again I am inspired to keep going! We are taking M to a neurologist next Tuesday - he wants to do a sleep deprived EEG on her. The only problem with that is that when she is sleep deprived, she is CRANKY!! After all, she is two!! So that should be an interesting day - should also make for an interesting blog story! I hope your days are going better and maybe that nasty virus will get the heck out of Dodge soon! I hear ya on the husband thing - sometimes I forget just how helpless they really can be at times! Hang in there girl! Laura you are just the best!!

He married a skinny girl and then promptly got a fat wife. For 12 years. And it was a real issue in our marriage, even before we had kids. We had to go to marriage counseling for him to deal with it. THAT, my friend, is a soul destroying kind of thing--to have to make your husband realize he's being a prick because he doesn't want to be married to a fat girl. But basically that's what happened, and we stayed together and then had kids, and for 12 years he had a size 16/18 wife. Now, here I am back to what I weighed when we got married, and he's happy about it, to be sure, and I'm extremely happy about it, but all our problems sure aren't gone (go see my post today on my blog--I'm a freaking wreck). I must admit, though, that finally shedding the pounds feels great. But now I'm in this utterly frightening position of having to maintain it. ANYWAY, there will come a time--it may have already happened--when you have the mental energy to MAKE IT HAPPEN for real and then it will. And you'll be back to the skinny wife. And it will take constant vigilence to stay there. And we can definitely do it--we really can! Yeah, walking doesn't do enough calorie burning unless you do it for hours. That's why I started running. I don't have 90 minutes to walk on a treadmill every day. So keep up the C25K program, and commit to running as a lifestyle. Become a runner, and you'll become a skinny girl. Hope your daughter is doing okay! Girl, I did the same thing “to” my husband. He married a skinny girl and then promptly got a fat wife.

Maybe I'll just split the difference!! Thanks Alecia – I checked my calories burned on Yahoo Health and it said I burned 124 cals, so I’m not sure. Maybe I’ll just split the difference!!

Same thing - hubby had a size 8 wife for about a nanosecond before getting pregnant with 11 year old. I have never been smaller than a 12 and that only lasted a few days. As far as FitDay is concerned, they are too conservative with calories burned. My treadmill tells me one thing, and FitDay calculates way way lower. Good luck tonight on week 4. I think you are doing great. Jill, I think we are twins. Same thing – hubby had a size 8 wife for about a nanosecond before getting pregnant with 11 year old.
