Wow! 4 Weeks down and 8 pounds lost. Slowly but surely. I was super proud of myself this week.... I used to be pretty athletic and loved sports, but always hated running long distance. Well, I've been wanting to do a 5K and have been having a hard time even conquering a mile. I started reading a website couch to 5K and I've been doing it wrong. I've been trying to run by distance. This site has you run by time. So, I started this week. Since I've been exercising for 3 weeks, I skipped a few weeks. What I did was run for 7 min. walk for 1 and repeat until I got to 30 min. Amazing!! I did it! And when I went to measure the first night, it was 2.2 miles. To me that was fantastic. Now I just have to work up to doing 3.11 miles in 30 min. This week I up the min running. 8min run 1 min walk. And then I'll up every few times. I am actually enjoying this much more than I was when I was running and wanted to give up after a mile. Anyways.... I ate great this week even when we went to Ryans and I even fit into a skirt that I bought last year when I was 25 lbs lighter. I lost 2 inches in my waist and 2 in my hips, .5 in arms, 1 in thighs and 2.5 in bust. I am very happy. YEAH! It's coming. This week's challenge is:
"1. You must email/blog at least one teammate your "exercise log" each day.
I think people tend to choose more difficult workouts and try harder when they know someone is going to ask what they've done for exercise that day. Seriously, who wants to own up to being a slacker?
2. At least one workout this week must be done with a "workout buddy" (this buddy does NOT need to be a team member)
I believe we work harder, faster, longer and with more enthusiasm when we're next to someone else who is right there encouraging us to finish one more set, who tells us we can do more than we think possible, who won't let us stop when it starts getting difficult, because they know and understand our goals and ambition!"
