As much as I'm excited I want to mention that it's not about the numbers.. I have never felt so strong and healthy. In fact I started week 3 of the couch to 5K challenge and it's intense however I pushed up the treadmill to 5.2 and 3.2 on the walking and did it confidently with NO PAIN! I'm really celebrating this because it's the first time I have started running where I didn't feel pain in my legs or even get out of breath. I guess a month of exercise has finally felt normal for my poor body!
I have also decided that including exercise as part of my everyday life is more doable for me then not having the chance to indulge. I went to all you can eat sushi buffet for my birthday and ate ... A LOT (probably more than i should have) however instead of making myself feel guilty I did extra time at the gym. Exercise this month has really been my lifesaver and I think the routine of 4 days of week fo exercise was what was missing in my past weight loss effort.
you go girl!!! Keep up the good work Em ! The exercise gets addictive - I really feel better doing 2 exercise activities a day here - we will keep you on track with the exercise while you are visiting in March... we are really into the healthy eating and exercising lifestyle since we are in Florida so we will have a lot of fun when you are here - shopping is good exercise too when it is at a Prime Outlets mall - lots of walking!!
