I definitely jumped with both feet into this whole healthier lifestyle thing. I knew that if I didn't start to exercise that my weightloss would be just that...weight lost. As you all know, my tummy is my biggest battle...you've seen the pictures.So this week I started to add some exercise into my day.
I am the kind of person that has to have a goal in order to stay on track. For example, I am not going to go out and walk, run, bike, or anything of the sorts just for fun. Tell me that in 15 weeks I will be riding my bike 100 miles in one day and I will figure out a way to do it (I did it twice actually). So, I knew that I had to have a goal. My friend Katie was over visiting and we were discussing weightloss and being healthier and she mentioned that she had just started the Couch to 5k program. I stopped her right there. "LET'S DO IT."
Yes sir, I signed up for my first 5k "race". Katie and I will be doing the Great Pumpkin 5k in Reston, VA on October 6th. This means that I have approximately 66 days to literally go from couch to 5k! The Couch25k program makes it pretty easy. Last night and tonight consisted of a 5 minute warm up followed by 20 minutes of alternating 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking and finally a 5 minute cool down. Not too bad!
Fat Mamma's not gonna lie...I do NOT like to run so I am a little worried! Hopefully, I will continue to like the program and be able to keep up with it. Wish me luck!
