Progress

Today was a weigh-in day, and I was nervous. I have been really good this week, but I didn't feel like I had lost anything. But, I was down a pound! Here are the stats:

Weigh-in Date: 5/8/09
Previous Weight: 171.2
Current Weight: 170.2
Difference: -1
Total loss to date: -13.2

I just started my third week of C25k today. It was rough. In my mind, running for 3 minutes without stopping sounds like nothing. In reality, hauling around my 45 lb. overweight ass is hard! I really wanted to quit; it was POURING rain and I was tired, but I didn't stop and I finished it. I just need to keep reminding myself that it will get easier. I can't wait for the day that I can look back and laugh at myself for dying after a 3 minute run.

I am a little behind track for my 8 lbs. in May goal. But even if I don't hit 8 lbs., as long as I continue to make progress, I will be okay. The last 2 weeks, I have worked out 6 days a week, which is a big accomplishment for me. And I am continuing to work at eating well and handling stress differently. There is not much more I can ask of myself right now.
