Progress and a new goal

On Friday June 5th I wieghed way waaayyy too much. A total of 236lbs. I started the Couch to 5 K that evening. I am proud to say I have stuck with it. It is now June 29th and Tomorrow I start my 4th week. I weighed 229 this am. I have lost 7 lbs in about 3 wks.

That amount would have been 2 lbs more but I seem to have an issue with weekends. When I am at work and my food is limited I do well but at home I seem to feel the need to "splurge".

I am however feeling great. I am walking/ jogging = wogging lol about 2 miles per session. Saturday was the last day of my 3rd week and I did all of the jogging circuits at 5 miles per hour and I felt great. I am nervous about this week because I go from two sets of (jog 90 sec walk 90 sec jog 3 min walk 3 mins) to 2 sets of ( jog 3 min walk 90 sec jog 5 min walk 2.5 min). It seems like a big leap to me. But so did week 2 to week 3. I feel like if I can just make it through once it is all down hill from there because the rest of the circuits and days I just keep telling myself

"YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS ONCE! THERE IS NO DOUBT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO IT! SO JUST GO! DO IT ALREADY! AND REMEMBER HOW GREAT YOU FELT WHEN YOU WERE DONE!!!!"


That is the best part is that I feel so awesome after my work out.



SO...my pop is engaged!!! He finally met someone. I hope to meet her in mid August. (yeah it is crazy I have not met her but we live 5 hrs apart and there has been alot going on for them and us) but this brings me to my new goal.

I want to at least weigh 180 by November 21st. Why November 21st? That is their wedding date and I am so tired of being the pudge in all of the photos till I could scream. I will look alright at 180 I think and that is 50 lbs in 5 months so hopefully that is doable if I really work at it. That is not my ending goal but that is a good date and a good challenge.

So there it is. 180 by Nov 21st.
