Unexpected Love

This week I started Week 3 in the Cto5K program. I am working on doing two sets of each: run for 90 seconds, walk for 90 seconds, run for 3 minutes and walk for 3 minutes. I didn't think I could do the three minutes but I did. I will do day 3 on Saturday probably. It's basically doing the program three days a week and letting your muscles "rest" on the other days but on those "rest" days I am still getting on the treadmill. I'm trying to do three miles a day. Some days I am able to and others I'm not just because of time constraints with all of the running around I have to do. But I am doing it and that's what matters.

I'm SOOOO ready for Spring! How about you? These cold days just kinda make it dreary and really make me want to just stay bundled up in my jammies all snuggly under a warm blanket eating whatever the heck I please. BUT that thinking is probably what has helped to contribute to my lubbyness. I'm still really motivated to do this. I really want to lose the weight. I wish I could just snap my fingers and "WHALA" the weight be gone but it didn't attach itself to me in a day so I know realistically it won't come off in a day. That's the hard part for me....the waiting. The patience. Making sure I'm doing it the healthy way....not just the easy way. Being healthy and staying healthy is not easy. It's hard work and right now I'm in for the hard work.

Yesterday I stopped in to see my pre-schooler's teacher and we got to talking about WW. She has done it for 5 years I believe and has lost about 75 pounds. She's a lifetime member. She was telling me about how the new points system works and what the new changes are. She's going to stick with the old system which is what I'm doing. Anyway, she was so sweet and encouraging to me and I just appreciated that. She told me that I was a pretty girl and she knew that I would be able to do this and I know this may sound really silly but it made me feel so special. I really needed to hear that and especially from someone that I wouldn't have expected it from.

Lubby people need the love too. :)
