SUNDAY TRAINING RUNS GO ON HIATUS
APRIL 1 - JULY 30

Obstacles to losing 10 pounds

***Excerpt from the Washington Post, Jennifer LaRue Huget

Following the same exercise routine. I already spend as much time exercising as my schedule can afford, so I'll have to change my routine to get more bang for my exercise buck. Several people have recommended I add weight training. I currently work my arms with weights a little bit, but not my legs or bottom. I also plan to incorporate tiny exercise breaks into my workday. Every hour, I'll get off my chair and do some squats, or walk some stairs, or maybe Hula Hoop for five or 10 minutes. (It helps that I work from home.) I could use the breaks, anyway.
Cheating myself of sleep. Many experts say that one key to weight loss is getting adequate sleep. I know this is true for me, too. When I'm tired, I tend to give in to food cravings more readily than when I'm rested. But it's not easy to get the eight hours I clearly need. My mission is to get those eight hours more regularly. I'm going to shoot for four nights a week, for starters.
Stress snacking. In the olden days, reporters on deadline smoked while they wrote. I don't smoke; I eat. I can cram a whole box of Cheez-Its in my mouth when I'm under pressure. This may be my greatest challenge of all, especially because the pantry and fridge are usually just steps away. I plan to clear the house of Cheez-Its, replacing them with better choices, including popcorn and sunflower seeds.

All the plans are humming along for the Wild Woman 8K Run/Walk April 3, 2010.
