Couch to 5K - Week 1, Day 3 (Redux)

So I did end up repeating a day from Week 1. But, it was still successful because I increased my speed from Monday. The first half of the time I went at the same speeds but the second half I increased the jogging from 4 that I ended with on Monday to 4.2. Not the biggest increase ever, but every little bit helps, right?

I also had a huge bout of self consciousness during my workout. There were two people in the workout room, not really working out, just standing and talking the whole time I was in there. I was really aware of how loud it was when I was running or if I was breathing "too hard". It wasn't until about halfway thru or so that I just finally said "screw it" and did my own thing and finished my workout. It's something I'm aware of when I jog around the lake too, as sometimes I have to jog on wooden bridges and my feet can be loud on those when I'm jogging. And to be honest, we hear stories all the time of people in gyms fat shaming. Why would someone shame someone trying to better themselves? Anyway. I don't think those two were barely aware I was there. I'm pretty sure I was overthinking it the entire time. The point is, I rocked today's workout. I think Friday I might move on to Week 2's routine to see how I do with that.

I'm also in the process of making my "progress chart", which once I get it made I'll be posting a picture of it. I'm currently trying to make a list of all of my goals and rewards. I'm coming up with all sorts of goals, both long term and short, but I'm having a difficult time thinking of rewards! One of my more short term goals though is if I can lose at least two pounds by Valentines Day, I'll take myself to my favorite nail salon and get my nails done, both my fingers and my toesies! 

Anyway. I need to finish getting ready for bed. Work comes early tomorrow morning! Keep on keeping on, everyone! Friday is nearly upon us!

Later days and Blessings!
