Off to the races!

Or so it felt!  :)  I did day 1 of week 3 of the C25K and holy smokies it was tough! I never thought I would be doing this and I have started this program many times to only stop after week 1, so I have hit a milestone and I feel the need to carry on!!  I have downloaded a program to my phone so I have a little voice telling me to jog and to walk.  I need a play list though and I think then my negative thoughts won't be so daunting to me and it will be easier.  Today though, I just kept telling myself how good I was going to feel and that if Tricia can do it so can I!

It is about time to do measurements again.  I feel different so I want to know what the difference is! LOL! :)  But in the meantime, I took a pic of myself in the mirror after I changed back into my clothes after my lunch time workout.  Here is a pic of now...



 And here is me before...hmmm.  maybe i should pose like the one below and see??? I don't really see a difference! LOL!  and gee, my phone takes crappy pictures! 

So until next time folks...I am going to bask in the glory of finishing my workout and eat lunch! ;)  

Oh Ya!! Go Me!

So I posted my weigh in yesterday of a gain.  Not a big deal, I can handle that.  I have reread some inspiring "About Me" stories and got my mojo back!!! 

I got up this morning at 5 and I fed my baby boy and got him all comfy on his play mat and I looked at the clock, 5:15...still had time.  Still had time to put on my shoes and do intervals on the treadmill...AND I DID! :)  I am so happy with myself!  Working out in the morning is very hard for me.  I am always telling myself how I don't have time and I will be late and blah blah blah!!  But me, my health and I are more important than blah blah blah!  So I did 15 minutes, better than nothing!!!  I got my heart rate up and moving...I feel good!

Then, at lunch, I did this...

I walked to the local track about 13 or 14 minutes away and I walked the corners and jogged the straight stretches.  I had a meeting right after my lunch hour so I only got in 2 laps and then I had to head back.  I probably could have done another lap but I didn't want to be late and all sweaty, so I played it safe.  I felt good too!!! 

I am going to kick that gain to the curb!!!  :)
