6th Week Update - Start training for 5K
I weighed in this morning at 210.6. 
It's nice to see me creep closer and closer to onederland. Although I've lost 16lbs since I started my journey, I really dont feel that my body has changed too much. Perhaps its still too early or maybe it's just that I still have so much to lose.

Perhaps its still too early or maybe it's just that I still have so much to lose. I did some power grocery shopping the other day filling up on vegetables, fruit and lean meats. It's getting easier to make better choices and even more so when the house is full of yummy healthy snacks.
Last night at the gym, I ran for the first time in probably over a year. I tried to emulate some of the interval training in the couch to 5K program. Since I have been working out consistently for the past six weeks, I felt that my legs were strong enough to skip ahead a few steps. I have exactly four weeks to train for my first 5K instead of the normal 9 week schedule that the couch program is designed. I decided to run the 5K in the Pasadena Marthon next month. I hope I will be ready. Wish me luck!
