I Lost!

When I weighed myself this morning, it hovered right around 200.5. That means I've lost about 7 pounds since this whole thing started. I was expecting it to go up a good pound or two since I ate so much crap yesterday and I didn't do all that well on staying in my calorie limit this week. It was a nice surprise to start the day.

I did Week 6 Day 2 of the Couch to 5k today. The whole routine was 33 minutes, but I added time on and went a total of 65 minutes. My next run on Tuesday morning will be 25 minutes. Then Thursday or Friday starts Week 7, which is all 25-minute runs. No more interval running from that point on. Whenever I'm running, I get passed by people who are taller, skinnier, and probably have been running a lot longer. I have to keep reminding myself that right now it's about endurance, not speed. I need to be able to run 3 miles before I can try to run those 3 miles in 21 minutes.

This week, I'm also going to start an ab routine to build up crunches and push-ups. I've been putting it off because I know it's going to be hard. But running was hard too, and look where I am now. I have no excuse.
