So today I embarked on one of my fitness goals, and that is the Couch to 5K program. I downloaded the app, got some music on my phone to work to and hit the trail around Lake Lynn behind my apartment with my fanny pack (Yes, I said fanny pack. I'm 30 now, I can wear a fanny pack!) and water bottle. There was a 5 minute warm up, then 20 minutes of the actual workout (which alternated between 90 seconds of walking and 60 seconds of jogging) and then a 5 minute cool down. Doesn't sound like much, but it was a real workout for me. However, I was super proud of myself that all 8 times it said to start running/jogging, I did. And I only stopped and sat down once and that was mostly because my shoes came untied, but I did stop for some water and a short rest before getting up and keeping on.
I know I may need to repeat the "Day 1" routine at least once more just to help get my body back into the groove of being active before I start to amp things up and go to Day 2, but progress is progress!
Tomorrow will be my first Weigh-In Wednesday where I will be taking my "before" pictures and measurements as well. I'll be sure to post those at some point tomorrow evening when I get home from work. But for now, I'm going to rest for a bit and re-hydrate. I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
Later days and Blessings!
