I'm doing much better right now. I've all but nixed my late night eating habits. PLUS for 2 days in a row now I've done my C25K (Couch to 5K program) workout. I want to do a 5K on September 24th. I don't have enough weeks to start the program on week 1, so I started with week 2. I wanted to start with week 3, but I haven't figured out how to program my new watch for the week 3 intervals. I figure since I'm short on time what I will do is run 4 to 5 times a week. The C25K program I printed out wants you to run 3 times a week, so I figure what I'll do is do the 3 runs for the week and then on my 4th and/or 5th run start the next week. That will help me get all of it in before race day, and if I have trouble with a week I can just extend that week a little.
Right now I'm running for 90 seconds and walking for 2 minutes. You're supposed to do it for 20 minutes, so yesterday I did the cycle 6 times for 21 minutes. Today I felt energetic and I did 8 cycles, so I did 27 minutes. My last cycle I jogged up a hill. What was I thinking?!? But, hey, I figured if I can make it up this hill now, then the big hill by the house should be doable soon. It took me the full 90 seconds to get up the hill, BUT I got up it without stopping!!! YEAH ME!!
I must've been feeling really energetic today because tonight I did the sexy leg routine on exercise tv! YEAH ME, again! :)
Barb, I was thinking for our meeting this week that we should print out our food log and critique each other's food. Might help us see something the other is missing.
