Couch to 5k

Throwing out the scales and downloading the C25K app has given me a new motivation. No longer is being 'thin' the goal, but being fit! I am still doing herbilife for breakfast and lunch and a (sort of) calorie controlled dinner but don't feel like I've seen results. But the proof is in the pudding (excuse the pun). I haven't been strict enough, I've been on holiday, I've drank and I've had puddings! All leading to no progress. 

So C25K:

Week 1, run 1

I won't lie. It was hard. My ankles were killing, my breathing was heavy and I looked like a big, fat, sweaty mess. All made worse by passing lean, beautiful people around the lake. But I persevered. Week 1, you might think sounds easy. A 5 minute brisk walk to warm up, 60 seconds running followed by 90 seconds walking. Take it from me, if you're not used to running or exercise in general there is nothing easy about it. It's like when I recently paraglided in olideniz, it was an amazing experience (in hindsight) but when I was made to jump off a cliff to be confronted by a 2400m drop, strapped to a stranger wondering if it was possible to become dis attached, I cried. Running today was a bit like that! Doable, great in the end, but bloody painful!

So, due to camping plans later this week, we only have tomorrow, Saturday night and Sunday left to get the 2 more runs in. We've contemplated doing the next run tomorrow, I think we need to see how we feel in the morning...
