i mentioned the other day that i wanted to start the couch to 5k program... well, i did tonight! day one consisted of a 5 minute brisk walk followed by alternating 1 minute jogging and 2 minutes walking for 20 minutes... sounds easy, but when you are recovering from a month long breathing/coughing problem, your airflow is not quite up to par. either way, i survived and am now encouraged to keep going!
i'm also really excited because one of my co-workers today said she woke up at 4 am thinking "i need to give up soda and carbs" - immediately, i volunteered to be her accountability partner! so we are now planning on keeping each other on track with our shift to "healthier living" -- because "dieting" has short-term implications, and we're trying to get better long-term... AND we have a magic bullet at work, so we are planning on starting to make smoothies for lunch :)
anyway, i was just posting this as yet another form of accountability. having everyone know will make me think twice about eating halloween candy! if anyone else needs accountability, let me know! the more the merrier :)
I started again a couple weeks ago. I'm on week 2 currently (school/life gets in the way) but I'm super motivated this time around because I want to run the OKC Memorial (half) Marathon in May! Yay running buddies! I wish you lived in OK still so we could do it together. :(
ReplyDeleteoh yay sarah, way to go! i did a 20 min workout video monday & walked yesterday! lets get on a daily text system to keep up with each other :)
