C25K - Week 1, Day 2
To update you on my last post I did NOT start last weekend as I intended. I got sick. again. So I didn't feel up to any exercise until Thursday, when I did the first say of week one. It was pretty rough, I had to stop three times due to a coughing fit. But I got through and I felt great when it was done.
I just got home from the gym after having completed the second day of the Couch to 5K program. I felt a little bit better today and I only stopped to couch once. So that was a marked improvement! I'm actually planning on using these two runs as a "warm up" and starting for real on Monday. I'd like to try to keep on a weekly schedule and it feels right to start on a Monday :) Although if necessary I will repeat weeks or days so I may get off schedule quickly.
I had a 1 lb gain this week at weigh in, which is completely my own doing. Not only did not exercise due to being sick I also ate comfort foods. Also my 8 month old son has been eating more table foods. Which means he's been nursing less and I need to adjust to my body's new caloric needs.
On the bright side we had awesome weather today and I so enjoyed the sunshine! I wore capris and a T-shirt. :) I even got a bit of a spring clean in which was some extra exercise.
I'll be back on Monday to post about my weigh in and my do-over start of the C25K.
