I did it!

Well I took the plunge and signed up to the Couch to 5k challenge. I've just completed my first run/walk and although found it hard, I'm over the moon that I managed it and that I even run (which I've never done!!). Now feeling fully charged and motivated for the week ahead. :)

Do it, you won't regret it, it's a fantastic program, I can't praise it enough, I know lots of people on here will also agree. Follow it to the T and you won't go wrong, it's that simple :)

Haha, go for it. It starts off really gradual so today (my first day) you run for 60 seconds then walk for 90 and so on over a 20 min routine. There's a 5min warm up and cool down walk as well. If I can do it anyone can as I've never ran before (well apart from running to the ice cream van!!) lol!.

Well done tuppy133!

I'm just starting week 2 - never exercised for 30yrs or more! Just take it easy and keep going!

Well done you!

I've decided not to weigh myself this week as had two weddings over the weekend! I did drink more than I wanted to but decided they are only going to get married once :) I did get the hangover munchies yesterday though :s Going to be extra good this week - currently researching healthy recipes for the week that my boyfriend won't turn his nose up at! I'm off today and I always find this hard so going to keep myself busy.

Hope you have a good week!

Oh yes, two weddings always hard to resist overindulging!! I must admit I probably would have lost a bit more but did give in to temptation yesterday and had a huge roast and a couple of glasses of wine. Good luck for the week ahead. :)

I do love a good roast! I've planned my meals for the week so hopefully will see a loss next week despite the weekend! Have a great week! Good luck for the next session of C25K!
