First jog since November...surprised myself :)

  • I've lost most of my weight through diet. Unfortunately, I still have around the same body fat percentage as I did 33lbs ago. So for the last two weeks I've been doing full body strength training. For about two weeks in November, I was jogging almost everyday. I had worked it up to about 5 or 6 minutes of straight jogging.

    Well today I decided I would start again. I truly hate running, it's one of my personal hells, but I'm realizing that I'm going to have to up it a notch to drop these last 10lbs. So, jogging I went. I was expecting to have to start at 1min walking/1min jogging/1min walking again and build it up. But I decided to just jog until I absolutely could not anymore just to see where I was.

    I ended up jogging 10 minutes straight!!! And at a decent pace, too. Where in the world did that come from, haha. I guess carrying 20lbs less really makes a difference, lol. Then I walked for about 5 minutes and jogged 5 minutes more and then cooled down. I was quite pleased with myself, and I'm much more motivated to keep jogging.
  • Oh man, way to go! That's so great dude.

    Congrats on starting the exercise too! It's not only good for losing weight, but it'll keep your heart and lungs healthy, and give you more energy.

    Btw I saw your pics in the weight loss support forum and you look GREAT.
