Day 2 of C25K

Went to a local park today and got through day to of C25K.  I’m not ready to jog in my neighborhood yet……Don’t want the neighbors to see me!  Silly, I know.  I’ve noticed that my face gets extremely red when I work out.  I wonder why this is?  It always has.  I know the body heats up during exercise, but my face is red red red!  That’s a good question to google later on….Anyway, I think I did pretty well.  I stuck much closer to the 1 min jog 90 second walk than the 1st time.  I also walked an extra 5 min before and afterteh warmup and cool down.  Can’t remember how many times for sure I walked around the park path, but am pretty sure it was 4, which would be 2 miles. 

 I have been well OP this week.  Have only used a couple of my WPA so far, and have resisted some temptations that we have in the pantry thanks to DH’s purchases. 

 I cut off another inch from my string.  Had what I considered a negative thought.  I was thinking I could quit WW to save money.  I have all the material, and have not been losing, but gaining and losing the same few pounds for a good 3-4 months.  Even mentioned it to DH.  He said absolutely not.  I also thought about just quitting meetings,  but doing the online program, that would cut the cost by almost half, but I think it’s going to the meetings and having to weigh in that has kept me going this long.  Who knows, if I hadn’t been doing WW over the summer I may actually have gained even more.  Because instead of getting back to meetings after vacations and seeing that the number had gone up, I may have continued to gain even more.  The weigh ins made me face the fact that I couldn’t keep eating like I had on vacation and had to get back to the program.  And of course I thought about the facts they like to tout- that those who attend meetings lose 3x more weight than those who don’t.  So, for now I’m sticking with it, and am even more committed to getting to goal so save the $40 every month!
