I was online looking for tips on walking, jogging and all that good stuff when I ran across this great site called "From Couch to 5k." ( http://www.fromcouchto5k.com/articles/training/the-couch-to-5k-training-plan/ ) It gives, in detail, exactly how many minutes for walking and jogging to help get your body ready for that 5k you may have been dreaming about. I know I HAVE! I'm going to start using this plan to help me reach the goals I've set for myself and I'm so excited! But I will admit that I'll probably have to set my own minutes for each week. It's sad to say but I seriously doubt that I can keep up to "The Plan's" schedule and they do encourage you to change it up a bit to suit YOU. But it's definitely a start and I can't wait! SO....today was weigh~in day and I was NOT looking forward to it. (Do I ever??) Our family had a get~together last Saturday and I think I ate way too much stuff I shouldn't have. But, I'd do it all over again because I seen some WONDERFUL and AMAZING family members I haven't seen in YEARS, so I regret nothing :) Also, I was completely shocked and absolutely thrilled when "M" (a family member) shared with me that SHE was also thinking about doing a marathon next year! It probably sounds silly but I was kind of relieved that I wasn't the only one with "the dream" to do a 5k. She's also had an incredible weight~loss of her own and was she was just such an inspiration for me. I gave me the hope that maybe I CAN do this. I'm still struggling with my addiction to soda. I'm beginning to think I always WILL. Sometimes I even think they need a place to "dry out" soda addicts like myself BUT when I think about it, I honestly would be, and all joking aside, I'd be just like the drug addicts who get "intervened" by family members on TV who try and get them help. OH the fit I would THROW and it wouldn't be pretty! It's sad to think that I've allowed something like soda, to have such control over me. I'm trying to do better, it's a work~in~progress with me and that soda of mine. I'm still struggling with that Hubby of mine cooking up ALL this DELICIOUS stuff...gawww he's gonna be the death of me yet....If I don't wring HIS neck first. Take for instance last night, I hear him banging and clanging pots in the kitchen and immediately of course, I know he's at it again. Soooo..what does he make?? Donuts....and not just a FEW donuts either, but 2 1/2 cookie sheets FULL of BIG donuts!! Oh the pangs of a dieter!! Did I mention they were delicious??? Anyway, I weighed this morning and............ I lost 1 . 4 pounds...I'll take it :)
Those donuts didn't help any but THAT week is over and I'm starting a new one that will include the "Couch to 5k" plan. It starts tomorrow! Super excited! I hope YOUR week was a good one! Thanks for stopping by... Be good and be pretty and as always, ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ God Bless ✻ღϠ₡ღ✻ |
