EDIT: Was supposed to post this last Tuesday but completely forgot.
This morning marked the start of it all. I took before pictures last night which I'm hesitant to post on here so I think I'll wait until there is a noticeable difference. I weighed in this morning at 157.6 which I think is due to all the junk I ate yesterday, like a huge Gyros which was uber delicious but definitely very caloric. This morning I also went for my first run in months. I did Week 1 Day 1 of C25k and it was tough. I haven't done any sort of activity since Mencuha because of my surgery and it felt good to get out there. Running in the morning is great because I love watching the sunrise and everything is so still. Once we get back into shape I think I want to start rock climbing again using the passes they gave us when we cancelled our membership. It was a great way to build muscle and I felt really strong when I was climbing.
So that was last Tuesday. It is now Monday and I have completely Week 1 of C25k. I ran in the morning on Tuesday, Thursday and this morning. Here's the recap on time/distance:
Week 1
Day 1: 14:31 pace and 2.06 miles
Day 2: 14:24 pace and 2.08 miles
Day 3: 14:10 pace and 2.11 miles
So I'm getting faster which is nice :) Weight as of this morning: 157.2 so slow going on that front but that's ok. As I start running more and building up muscle, it'll help me lose the weight. Doesn't help I'm still snacking like crazy on the weekends so I need to cut that out. Tomorrow I'm starting Week 2 and I think I'll just run every morning except Fridays. My husband got a new job and has to get up at 5:30 or earlier now so I've decided to just get up with him and go for a run then. It'll give me plenty of time to get ready which will be nice so I'm not rushing all over the place in the morning. Although, I did forget to put on deodorant this morning so maybe the extra time doesn't matter :P I'll also have all weekend to recover from running. I did try to tell myself that I would run on the weekend but really, that's not happening and I knew that.
well really that's all until I finish Week 3. stay tuned for the update :)
