Back to the Grind

 I can't tell ya'll enough how overwhelmed but excited I was that I ran two whole miles on Friday!!! I was so nervous about that day, but I did it!!  We were very busy this weekend so I didn't have the time to get on the treadmill. I kinda missed it.  It's all good though because it just gave my muscles some time to rest.  I pretty much stuck to the diet as well. We celebrated Bud's 7th birthday this weekend  so I ate Chinese (gasp) and did have some cake but I tried not to overdo it too bad.  I'm afraid that if I restricted myself too too much then I might binge so I allow myself to have some extra leeway. 

I can't remember if I mentioned this sometime last week but I did get a new scale. It's the dial kind. I did not weigh myself yesterday but I did this morning and I had lost another 2 pounds!! So that's a total of 12 pounds. Yipee!! 

I wasn't able to start week 6 yesterday on the Cto5K but I'm going to start that today.  Here's what I'll be working on:

Week 6 Day 1

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
•Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
•Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
•Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes)
•Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
•Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

Week 6 Day 2

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
•Jog 1 mile (or 10 minutes)
•Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
•Jog 1 mile (or 10 minutes)

Week 6 Day 3

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog 2-1/4 miles (or 25 minutes) with no walking.


Just like the Little Engine That Could.... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can........I CAN DO IT!!!

It is a beautiful day outside! Hope each of you have a blessed day! :)
