Week One...DONE

I got up this morning and did my couch 2-5 K week one, day three! It was a little difficult in some ways, in others it was great. I went alone, no child in a jogger. I think I bought shoes that are not the best for me. Those things are SO expensive. I should be able to return them to the store...if not, they aren't terrible and may just need some getting used to. I have stayed in points since Mon. Yay!!!

C25K Day Two

WE DID IT!

I nearly had myself talked out of going this morning, I was soooo tired, but the thought of having to do it after a long day at work seemed even less appealing, so I got up.  Ryan followed!  We did it!  It was WAY harder than the first day, but we finished it.  Did I mention that we finished?

Hey Bethers--I am PROUD of you!!!  Thanks for all your encouragement!

C25K Day One

We did it!

Ryan and I got up this morning and ran Day One of Couch to 5K!  I felt great!

The podcast helped me more than anything, because I was able to keep a pace and know that someone was eventually going to tell me to walk again! :)

Thanks Beth and Ryan for motivating me!

So proud!

I am so proud of my sisser!

I think that a new start is in all of us, and like she said, if that is what it continues to take to make sure this journey is continued, then that is what it takes.

I think what we have to keep in mind is that this is a lifestyle, a habit.  That involves breaking old lifestyles, old habits!  We CAN do it!

I downloaded the Couch to 5K on my iPhone and I am going to start tomorrow.  I am a little nervous about it, but excited at the same time!  I know that Beth will encourage me just as I hope I do her!

Day One down for Beth!  WAY TO GO!

A New Start

I feel like I have to keep giving myself a new start. If that is what it takes, so be it. I am very encouraged! Tomorrow I will begin counting points, following weight watchers. Today I started the Couch2-5K program! I feel awesome! I did my week 1, day 1 with Chloe in the jogger and I felt so comfortable! I downloaded the program to my ipod and with music, it tells you when to run and when to walk. Can't wait to do some more.

First Sunday weigh-in

I HIT A MILESTONE!  I lost 5 pounds!

YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!

So, my next goal this week is to continue to hit my points without going over AND making sure I get all my liquids for the day.

I am super hungry today, but I have been cleaning like a mad woman, organizing and getting things checked off my list, which feels good, but it still makes me hungry.

OH, AND I went to the grocery store--we needed to stock up a little, I didn't go last week, so I spent $112 and SAVED $126!  Harris Teeter was having Super Doubles!

WHOOO HOOOO!

So far...so good!

I have been a "part" of this journey with my sister, but haven't really been an active part.  It was a case of "talking and not walking."

Not anymore!  I joined Weight Watchers Online last Saturday night.  I have been at it for a few days, and barring a few headaches, it is going okay.  I think the headaches are just from changing my eating habits.  So, I am excited that I now have taken control of the creeping weight gain!  My first goal is 5 pounds.

I am mainly concentrating on hitting my points for right now.  Each week, I am going to add a new part, i.e. getting all my water, getting all my fruits and veggies, so on.

Go ME!
