So I weighed in this morning and my scale showed that I weighed the exact same as last week which means I didn't gain any (thank goodness) but I hadn't lost any either. It's hard for me to believe that. I called two of my four in the bathroom so they could get on the scale and see how much they weighed and the scale wouldn't even register them. Nothing....no numbers or anything. So I'm kinda wondering if something is wrong with the scale. It's a digital scale but I'm thinking I might just go buy me one of those older kinds......you know , the ones with the roller round number thingy and the irritating red line on it. We'll see. I may re-weigh in tomorrow morning to see what it says and a friend also suggested that I change my weigh in day. Things I'm pondering.
I've had several of you tell me that you have started doing the
Couch to 5K Running Program too! That's exciting! Reminds me that I am not alone while doing this!! We'll be online running buddies! LOL!
I finished Week 4 Day 3, lifted weights and did 100 sit ups on Saturday and took yesterday completely off. I didn't do any type of exercise whatsoever and it was nice to rest.
Today, I'll start Week 5. It looks really intimidating. Here's what I'll be working on:
Day 1: Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
- Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
- Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
- Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
- Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
- Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
Day 2: Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
- Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes)
- Walk 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
- Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes)
Day 3: Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog two miles (or 20 minutes) with no walking.
TWO MILES by the third day? Oh dear Lord,
please help me get through
that! It should be interesting!
I'll let you know how I do! :)

Hey Amanda! I have been reading your blog and I'm so impressed by your continued dedication:-)
My husband and I are getting back in the gym after a long absence. I was a gymnast, so I have lot so experience with exercise, but I'm so out of shape it's like my body forgot how to move!
I am taking on the Couch to 5K Challenge, thanks for the encouragement!
