I'll start by saying I stayed the same. Again! Last week I lost 0.8 lbs, the week before that I stayed the same. I've been tracking, but not eating so well, grabbing crap at work, having a cheeseburger at McDonalds, etc... I haven't been exercising either.
Now some of that is because the kids have been acting up at bedtime, some of that is because of various injuries/illnesses in the past few weeks, but really I've been lazy, I could have squeezed something in somewhere.
So. With these crappy losses lately, a 5k and a too tight bridesmaid dress looming, I need to get my butt in gear! Tonight my sister and I went for a run, and I ran almost an entire km! A big deal for me! We got to a certain road after doing a quick walk to warm up. We started running and my goal was to run as far as I could. So I did. 2 whole blocks! Then we walked a block and started running again. Another 2 blocks! Then we walked home from there. My ankle was fine, my knee that I could barely walk on after my last run a month ago felt fine. I like the idea of just running instead of following the c25k. This feels more natural. I think I can do this.
What a difference a little progress can make! I was feeling quite down after the crap weigh in this afternoon!
That's great! I finally got my butt in gear and worked out this morning after an 8 day hiatus. It feels good.
ReplyDeleteI have followed about 3 different learn to run programs, and they all worked. The basic point is to gradually start running. I don't think your body cares if you do 3 minutes of running with one walking or if you run 10 minutes in a row, as long as you don't overdo it...
