Wow what a great run! Week 3 Day 1 officially in the books. To those of you that don't know I am doing the couch to 5k running plan. This week is 90 sec. jog, 90 walk, 3 min jog, 3 min walk... rinse repeat. It does not sound too hard but the jogging portion of 3 mins is double last weeks portion so my partner was a little bit weary of it. We rocked it! I feel so great afterwords that I want to keep going, but I know I need to stay on the plan so I don't get burned out or try too much and hurt myself.
Breakfast was a banana 2 hrs before the run for a bit of fuel and a bowl of instant oatmeal and a rice cake after 260 calories total.
Yesterday just for fun my husband wanted me to try on a pair of his pants to get a feeling of where I was with my measurements. I did not take measurements before I started, but there was no way I could get his 33" waits past even my thighs before I started 4.5 weeks ago. Yesterday, I got them on, buttoned, and sat comfortably in them. Now I am not ready to call them my correct size but wow, I had no idea that even though I was not losing weight I was actually losing inches. I am building muscle and losing fat at the same time so the scale says the same thing but my pants are getting looser!
I have so many supporters and cheerleaders that I would love to thank. You have made it possible for me to continue everyday especially when I am not completely up to the task. My days that start out with a run are good days.
