I started the C25K program on Monday. For anyone that does not know what that is, it is the Couch to 5K program. I really like it. You do it 3 times a week and for me I am doing it the same day I do Sculpt so I get Cardio 6 days a week. For the 1st week you trade off running for 60 seconds and then walking for 90 seconds. You do this eight times back and forth. The next week you will run longer and walk shorter and keeps going each week until you are running. The first 2 intervals were really hard. Not on my body but on my breathing. Once I stopped focusing on my breathing and just taking in my surroundings and enjoying the run it was easy.
I feel really good about myself and the choices I am making. I have to work on getting to bed earlier and actually doing my workout in the morning's to get it done & over with. I normally try to do it when Caleb naps but the last few days he has been all over the place with naps and going to bed later. So if I can get it done after I get Kendal out the door for school all would be done.
Last night felt good. I was watching some Big Bang Theory with hubbs and he wanted a snack. I got up and got his snack as I fixed our drinks but I did not have the urge to eat. See that has always been hard for me--not eating when someone is-- but I had this warm fuzzy feeling about the fact that I had such a great day and felt even better about ending it right.
So I go on...It's raining today and it's supposed to be Day 2 of C25K. I am going to watch for breaks in the rain and try to get out there but I might end up just running in the light drizzle.
