My Week So Far..

Well, I know that I said I was going to start the 30 Day Shred on Monday, but over the weekend I changed my mind and decided to start Couch to 5k first. Running is something that I have read about for a while now and have always been interested in, but never thought I could actually get into it. After giving it some thought....I decided why not?? What would it hurt to give it a shot? I have heard such great success stories about this program and how it's not only a great program for the beginner runner, but also that it's a great way to lose weight.
Yesterday (Monday) I woke up and took my before pics (which I decided not to post)--(maybe one day) and weighed myself. The scale read 153. Being that I am 5'4", I would like to reach a goal weight of 125 overall. Even though I am comfortable at around 140, I am ready to get healthy and for me I feel that will be 125.

  After getting the kids breakfast & while they were busy playing I started the C25k program. I am so surprised at how good it felt. Considering that I haven't "ran" since high school, I thought I was going to hate it. I did day 2 today and sweated my ass off, but I finished without stopping. I feel amazing.

Along with starting this program I have decided to cut some things out of my diet (just until I reach my goal, then I may add them back in moderation.  I am currently cutting out all sweets, dairy, and only eating a certain amount of (healthy) carbs per day.  So...what am I loving right now? O-M-G.....I am obsessed with Almond Milk! I love to mix it with 1 scoop of 100% whey protein powder(chocolate) and have it post workout. I am also loving Organic Girl's Super Greens. Yum!

I am thinking about incorporating Jillian's 30 Day Shred with the C25k program maybe next week (if I can squeeze it in).

See ya tomorrow for another update!

Love,
