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.

Well done, I've been thinking about this for a few weeks but not had the guts to start!!

Go for it( and do a bit for me !! lol)

😇

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

[ICan-IWill]

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!.

Thank you NoMoreJunk,

How are you getting on after your first week?

[NoMoreJunk Maintainer 2st 7lbs Healthy BMI]

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!

[ICan-IWill in reply to NoMoreJunk]

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.

[NoMoreJunk Maintainer 2st 7lbs Healthy BMI in reply to ICan-IWill]

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!

[ICan-IWill in reply to NoMoreJunk]

Thank you, I do ache a bit today but it's a rest day which is good! Hope you have a good week and fingers crossed for a good result next Monday.

I have to say your excitement made me smile.

Thats awesome - feels so good to challenge ourselves physically and come out on top right?

Go you - I hope to join on that in a few months time!
