Hey all........well, did something the other day on the tmill that I have never done before (and where did your mind go?! LOL) I didn't choose a program walk/run this time. I just wanted to see what I could do at a slow jog. GET THIS! I managed to run 3 miles no stopping at 43 min. YAY! I will confess, I had a "moment", teared up and kept telling myself, I did it!
So, went upstairs and told my hubby what just happened and started crying a bit. WOW! I know...weirdo.
I have been exercising off and on with diff. programs, zumba, tae bo...for years and CANNOT lose the fat in my lower half..still big legs and hips. I am pear-shaped and graced with the funny sense of humor from the good dear Lord and have them' child bearing hips and don't have any kids! LOL So, thought if I can just try jogging at a slow pace, where will it get me? WOWOWOWOW! Tammy jogged more than she ever thought she could do.
Now, what do I do? Do I just keep at 3 miles or go a bit further each time? I am not too worried with speed right now. Want to lose weight (10-15lbs. would be great...127 right now). I know this is good cardio and it hopefully, will happen in a couple of months going at it 4-5 times a week I hope?
My jeans are getting tighter and tighter the more I do lower half exercises but am trying to just tell myself, muscles are growing right? : ( I get discouraged with that thought though. Really trying to keep a happy frame of mind even though I just accomplished that 3 miles. Oh, well..can't have it all...you know, thinner lower half and being a pear-shaped gal. At least I am healthy and ran this at 45
Your thoughts! Thank you all!
