The other day I blogged about how aggravated I was that my doctors office had scheduled me for an apt. only to go there and find that he wasn't in. So I wasn't able to get a fill and had been really anxious to do so. But I had decided that I wasn't going to rely on just a "fill" alone and that I was going to take more control of my body and what I put into it and exercise more. I'd been revving up my exercise for the past several weeks and decided to start a new program called "Couch to 5K"....ever heard of it or even tried it? Let me first say this....OMG I never imagined that it would be soooo hard to jog for 60 seconds at a time. The program is designed to help you build up to eventually be able to run 3 miles by the end of the 9 weeks if you stick to the program. It's pretty neat, you should google it if you are interested. You follow the program....doing it 3 times a week for 9 total weeks to build up your stamina. Last night was my first night and I was supposed to warm up with a brisk 5 minute walk and then jog for 60 seconds, then walk for 90 seconds and continue that for 20 more minutes. I ended up walking the last 5 minutes because I couldn't catch my breath. But all in all I was proud of myself for even attempting to jog outside in public for everyone to see. My husband went with me to encourage and support me and he tried to push me that last 5 minutes but I was done for. I'm going to do my 2nd day on Wendesday so I'll let you know how it goes. Happy Monday to you all! :thumbup:
