20 weeks down

20 weeks!!! Today was the beginning of my 21st week and to my surprise I went down another 3 pounds. I was getting a bit discouraged because I was plateau-ing for a long while. Interval training seems like it has worked well!

Last week, I began Couch to 5k. The first week was pretty easy since I've already been getting in shape. I can't imagine a beginner starting out with this program though. It seems like a bit advanced for someone who has never exercised. Well anyway, I am having fun listening to my favorite songs to get me inspired to run. I have the C25k app on my Nexus which makes it nice and easy for me to do. I have also continued with my Hasfit weight training. I took a break from it for awhile, but I need to tone so that been good.

Progress so far?

  • I have less than a hundred pounds to lose which is awesome! Double digits seem more doable :) 
  • I've gone down a pants size. Maybe close to going down another one.
  • I've completed 20 weeks of exercise which is far beyond any hope I ever had of sticking with it
  • I'm at a lower weight than I have been in like 10 years.
  • I'm actually jogging and enjoying it. Not hardcore, but for someone who never thought that she could do it, I'm amazed.
All in all I feel great. God has really taken me through this and I only have him to thank for giving me the strength and the endurance for what will be a long journey ahead of me. 

On a side note, I love listening to this song for working out!

18th week!

I can't believe that I'm halfway through my eighteenth week. My schedule has been kind of hectic the past few weeks but I've still been meeting my goals. I've been doing a little interval jogging to boost my workout and that has been going well. I haven't done Hasfit in a few weeks, except for some stretching, so I want to add that into my exercising again. My eating has gotten a little sloppy as well so I'm hoping to get back on track. It hasn't been horrible, but I might as well deal with it before it gets bad. All in all I'm staying strong and with it so that is fantastic!! Cheers!
