Ok so I’ve heard and read so much about C25k..and thought there is no way I can possibly count 60 seconds and 90 seconds and stay on track…

An hour ago I decided to go for a walk…(guilt from last night I assume) and something clicked inside my head…I HAVE A STOPWATCH ON MY IPOD!!! So i did the 5 minute warm up walk..and began…with the jogging and did it for my entire walk..when I got to twenty minutes I walked the rest of the way to my house which came to 22 minutes and 44 seconds….It is brutally windy here this evening and I wanted to give up half way but I kept doing it..YAY!! I know that the c25k just starts off at 20 minutes and goes 30 minutes further into the program so I will have to find a longer route or go around the streets in my neighbourhood a couple of times..LOL..

I’m so proud of myself!!! It says to do the c25k 3 times a week..so if I go out walking more than the 3 times I will just walk and keep the running for those 3 days..I’ve wanted to begin this so badly and and actually shocked that I did it! I’ve always feared people staring at me while I’m jogging but WHO CARES!? I’m the one out there getting fit..not driving around..I’m the one who is making myself better and healthier!

RIght now I am listening to a podcast someone created and when I get my new Dell laptop ( that has been shipped!!!) I will download one I really like and use it to guide me..then I won’t have to use the stopwatch..He tells you when to walk/jog and guides you through it..Great stuff and I’m so excited..

Wish me luck chickies!!!

** ok so I think when I do my next c25k…I should stretch a LOT more..I think I would have tonight if i had decided on beginning the program BEFORE I was actually outside and ready to start walking…my legs are fine..just feel like they’ve had a good workout but the back of my neck, close to my right shoulder is very sore..oh dear!

So everything was great yesterday UNTIL last night…drinks with my friends to celebrate a birthday…oh dear..the food..the temptations…and I didn’t say “no”..I knew I should of..I just didn’t….I’ve also been out ‘partying’ 4 out of the last 5 weekends…….so NOT good..I don’t go overboard but 4 coolers are probably WAY too many calories. I drink the Hyrda coolers which claim to have fewer calories than all the other coolers but they don’t have ANY nutritional info on the box or the website to prove it!….They have become my ‘treat’ and this is terrible…I did dance for about 2.5 hours STRAIGHT last night..so I am hoping that will help but I highly doubt it!

So I am considering last night my ultimate ‘binge’ night..the damage is done..I am refusing to dwell on it..Today is a new day…I’ve stayed on track all day and haven’t went over my points thank goodness!

The bf is home on Tuesday..YAY!! I’ve bought lots of things to make healthy meals for the week he’s home..we are planning on going out for supper one night next weekend..I am going to save some points for that night as well as use those ‘extra’ points that Weight Watchers now allows ( I usually don’t ever consider them).

Hope you’ve all had a great and healthier weekend than mine has been!
