So on Friday morning, I went out in my bobble hat, gillet and full kit, to do the couch to 5k thing. And I did it brilliantly! I really did. I Know. I’m so Modest 😉
I did my lunges across the width of the football pitch and a bit of extra jogging. I’ve really struggled to get going with the running. It’s so hard! My shins – the pain – I don’t know how to explain it. And the burning in my throat is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
With all that in mind, on Friday morning, I wasn’t expecting all that much. Not least because I’d eaten so much the day before, not that I’m sure that has any effect on it. I was going very very slowly in the walking and slowly in the jogging bits. But I did them all – 60 seconds of jogging x 9. And it made me feel amazing. So I don’t mind how slow I was. I posted a couple of random pictures to Facebook to show how happy I was. Here they are in all their glory:
I had two work do’s on Thursday. Fish and chip lunch, followed by cream tea and then Wagamama’s, and then Pizza Hut and ice cream today, so I’m not expecting to have lost any weight in the morning. I’m hoping to stay the same, at 13st 8lb. We’ll see. I may have gained a bit. I just don’t know. We’ll see. Anyway, I got a pair of jeans for £15 today in Dorothy Perkins and they are a size 18. Think they might be a bit big, but I got 18’s and 20’s and the boys were playing up so I didn’t have chance to get anything in a size 16 to test them out.
Regardless of the weigh in, I’ve make some brilliant healthy choices for myself this week. And eaten some not so great foods when I’ve wanted to. But I hope that whatever it is, I’ll remember how “high” I felt on Friday, how great it was to be jogging and making the times. How happy I was to be out in the sunshine and how I managed to do my lunges and my legs are feeling good today. It’s a sign to take it on to more running, less walking and more lunges at the end.
Fingers crossed for a good day tomorrow 🙂
