Well, today was the day that I started the coolrunning "Couch to 5K" program. The plan called for 8 repetitions of "jog 60 seconds, walk 90 seconds". I was only able to complete 4 of the repetitions before I had to stop and call it a day. I was so tired, I couldn't even WALK the rest of the time. I am a little disappointed about this but I'm not going to let it kill me. I have a goal of completing the Houston Half in January, and I am going to do that. I am proud of myself and this is just one little-bitty part of the journey. I will have many improvements and pittfalls along the way.
I think the best way to handle this is just to try it until I get it. Even if it takes 2 weeks to complete this step. It'll be ok.
Ok... UNOFFICIALLY...I weighed myself this morning. It is the one week mark for me, and I had said that I was going to post my weight every 2 weeks so that I won't get discouraged, BUT...I took a sneak peek this morning and...and...and...I lost 4 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I weigh 207. It still qualifies as "moo-cow" but it's 4 pounds less moo-cow than I was last week!
I am also proud to report that Thunder is moving right along with his fitness plan as well! He LOVED running today. I mean he absolutely LOVED it! He was loving it, and I was dragging behind him trying to slow him down!
Ok...I'm gonna sign off now. I've got a few things to do, and then I have to go get my teeth cleaned this afternoon.
CUL8R,
Victoria
