Tonight (this morning - it's 12:48) is an incredible! It is a HUGE NSV (Non-Scale Victory) day!
I am not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I am doing the c25k. (Couch to 5 K). It is a 9 week running program that has absolutely changed my life.
It is designed for people who do not exercise (couch potatoes) to go from the couch to running a 5 k in supposedly 27 work outs, in 9 weeks. that is 3 work outs per week.
Now, while I HAVE had to repeat some weeks because my stamina was not up to par...I am now on track with all of my weeks. I have successfully completed 22 workouts, tonight being my biggest achievement.
I completed 28 minutes jogging (at 4.0 mph - which is relatively slow...but for a big girl like me that is kind of fast!) - without holding on to the treadmill except for about a minute total (where before hand i would have been holding on for dear life!)
I am so pleased with my progress and my ability to do the things I have my mind set out to do.
I have NEVER in my life been able to jog for 28 minutes - and I never thought I would. I am so excited that I can say that now!
Next Friday, 10-1-2010 I will be graduating the Couch to 5K program, which will be 30 minutes of jogging straight. I am so excited for that day! I still have yet to determine how I will celebrate.
:) (Not with food, of course!)
To date I have lost 48.4 pounds. I am so extatic about that. That is THE most weight I have ever lost in my life. I had tried weight watchers 3-4 times, which started when I was 14...and could only lose at the most 30 pounds. Then I put it all back on, in celebration of losing it...of course!
There will be no white flag above my door.
I will not put my hands up and surrender.
