Couch to 5K week 3 day 2: jog 1.5 min, walk 1.5 min, jog 3 min, walk 3 min - repeat. Plus warm up and cool down time... the treadmill has been feeling so good in the mornings! I have to get up early to fit it in, but I feel good as soon as I'm on there... my playlist is mostly early hip hop from the 90s, which is big fun for me, and I walk around with those songs in my head feeling like a fly girl all day long.
Thanks for the awesome thread, it's so motivational!
i started on the treadmill with full intentions of doing a 30 minute jog, but then my pants started feeling loose like they were gonna fall, and my stupid t-shirt was loose, but somehow seemed to start creeping upwards?. i was SO uncomfortable. i thought for a second of just LEAVING, but i hopped on the elliptical instead for less bounce, and did 45 min there.

I took pictures of myself (plus some extras for my boyfriend wearing *ahem* decidedly less than in the first set) and thought "Hey, I don't look too bad," instead of having my normal feeling of repulsion.
Got off my hienie, put on my new shoes and went for a walk. I am fat, lazy and out of shape, so making this effort is awesome for me. According to my calculations, I burned about 50 calories. That's a start.
starving by the time i got to the grocery store today. but i didn't let it influence my shopping list! and i reeeeally wanted a candy bar to tide me over, but i didn't do it!
I've had cravings for soda and junk food all day, but I managed to resist them.
Way to go!! I can relate...I had to white-knuckle it through 3 hours this afternoon, when my planned lunch and snack just didn't seem enough, and I had to re-stock the bakery case where I work with all kinds of pastries..and there was a 'sample' dish of cookie pieces out for customers...I did NOT cave!! I used all my supply of will power dust
When I came home, I found roast ginger chicken on the table. I was sooo tempted to have a bite but I've already hit my limit and it was way past my eating window. I took a piece of the chicken, ready to put it in my mouth and then I was like...NO. Then I put the piece back down, hurriedly put all of the chicken in the fridge then I went to shower.
I don't eat cold meat so that's going to deter me from eating it
I passed up a sticky bun The coworker who asked me if I wanted one looked totally confused when I said no thanks, I just had my bagel. I don't think she's used to people turning down goodies
