Weigh In today

I didn't lose anything other then 2 ounces. Boo... BUT I guess on a positive note, not losing is better then gaining right?? I'll take it

Completed day 3 of week 3 yesterday! LOVED it. Got my nice new sneaks, which I'll post pics of later - and I am READY to move on to Week 4 on Monday night!! WooHoo ~ That means 5 WHOLE mintues of running! Who would think this 255+ body could run??? Not I, but I am! Yippie!!

Week 3 Day 1

So I started Week 3 of the C25K program yesterday. It is shorter then the other weeks, and less intervals, so I didn't burn as many calories which is a bummer, but that's ok. my heart rate was still up there. For week 3 you walk 5, run 90sec. walk 90 sec. run 3 min walk 3 min, run 3 min and walk 5. So I actually RAN for 3 minutes! I am proud. I was winded, but so be it. I did adjust my speed to make up for the longer time. I walked at 3.4 and ran at 4.5-4.7 rather then the 5.0-5.1 that I was doing. I'll work back up to that. And I am at 1.0 incline too. I can't wait until I can run outside! Spring, where are YOU???

Courtney & I headed out to the gym together in matching colors! :-) She is great support to her mommy! - This BTW was NOT planned.

new pictures

Here are my -10lbs pictures! I guess I'll take new ones every 10lb loss in the same clothes to better track. So here I am at 254.8 02/22/2010

Week 2 Day 3 & Weigh IN

Complete! I finished this last night, and it was pretty hard. I wasn't feeling really well to begin with, but was determind to push through. About 1/2 way through I thought about stopping, my knees were killing me and I just felt blah. I didn't though. I am pretty proud to have completed it. Because I had such a hard time with it, I think I am going to repeat the day one more time. I am pretty worried about week3 to begin with, and with not feeling well completing Week 2, I think I owe to me to get it in feeling 100%.

Today was also weigh in day. I had these horrible dreams last night that I gained almost 17 lbs WTH?? I woke up flipping out. I am happy to report though that when I stepped on mr. Scale, it read 254.8, down from 258 last saturday!! So super excited! That is my first 10 lbs!!! Orignally I was going to get a reward of a sports bra, but I think new sneakers more, so that's the plan, as soon as our taxes come in. We sure can't afford it any other way, I am OK with that.

I am torn between taking today off and going to the gym for my class today. I am still not feeling 100%, my body is tired and I have a minor head cold going on. Class starts in 1 hour, so I have =30 to decide, We'll see what happens between now and then.... If I don't get there, I am actually OK with it, where a couple of weeks ago I would have beat myself for not going!

Picture time

I thought I better get these pictures up here or I'll never do it. these were taken around Jan 22nd, 2010- 7 lbs ago!! Yay! I plan on taking new ones at the end of every month, in the same clothes to track it, so here is the first month!
