Not that bad ...

I started week 3 tonight. I had to go for 3 minutes walking and 3 minutes jogging. I thought it was going to be so hard but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe this program actually works.

Now I am eating eggs with cheese cause I have been craving eggs all week. Chocolate would be good too. mmmmmm

Week 3 and a soapbox

I completed week 2! YEAH!!! Not looking forward to week 3. I don't see how I am going to run 3 minutes. I can't hardly do 90 seconds.

Next Friday is Halloween. Wow where did October go. I need to go shopping for M - she has outgrown everything. Luckily L has clothes from M and her cousin. I think we will make it through winter without having to get much for her.


Why in the world do we put some much money into entertainment? At what point and who made the decision that the industry should get so much money. I don't know what our world has come to but I wish it would change.

Great video

The following video was shared with me. I think I have told myself almost all of those. I am pretty determined right now, hope that doesn't change. I really have no excuse!

Determined

Friday started week 2 for c25k.  This meant a change in the routine.  Longer running and walking periods - fewer reps.  The Friday run was fairly pain free and I even kept a good pace and didn't lag behind my husband.  The drop in temperature was nice - not too cold.  I'm not looking forward to it getting any colder though.  Sunday's run was complete opposite of Friday's.  I don't know if it was because it was an am run or what but it kicked my butt.  I struggled the entire time.  There were many things that made it different and I am not sure what made it so hard - 1. neighborhood, not the trail = hills 2. am and not adequately nourished pre-run 3. felt bad to begin with.   I still went through with the run.  I wouldn't say it was pretty but I finished it.  I got 'in trouble' for dragging my feet and 'putting on the brakes'.  I honestly didn't even realize I was doing it.  Hubby asked me several times if I just wanted to quit and walk the rest of the way.  There was no way I was going to do that.  I am not going to backtrack on a program.  I am determined to finish this.

Week 1 is over

I completed week one last night.  It was pretty rough.  We were short on time so the neighborhood was our option instead of the trail.  Our neighborhood has some wicked hills.  I felt way worse after than I had day 2.  Feeling good today though and am so glad I am finding time to get in shape.  They have become fun outings for the family.

C25K Two days down....

I started my couch to 5k program on Friday.  It hurt way worse than I thought it would, but I did it again today.  I still hurt but not as bad as I thought I would - maybe it is too early too tell.  At this point I don't see how I am going to be able to do a 5k but we will see.  At least I am getting exercise.  My outside may look fit but my inside sure isn't.

C25k

I printed off the information on couch to 5k.  Someone told me I had to pick a 5k now that was going to be my goal.  Am I that committed?  umm.... let's see how week 1 goes.

Friends...

Today is my best friend's birthday. She lives in Florida so even though I would love to take her to lunch or something, the most she will get is a Happy Birthday phone call. I have known my best friend since I was 3 months old. We grew up across the street from each other, went to the same college and as soon as she got married to her high school boyfriend - she moved to Florida. We always make an effort to get together several times a year but there is nothing like having a friend in the same city. I miss her alot.
Isn't it weird how some people are in your life forever and others it seems like they are such a huge part of your life but only for a short period of time. Is it because of lack of effort or is that just the design of life? I guess these people were suppose to be in your life when they were and there is a reason they are not now.
