So, after my last post I decided to just stop complaining and just get my ass up off the couch. And it's paying off. I've pushed myself more then I had the last time I went to the gym.
The magic? Running. I knew it was going to come to that before but now that I have an actual goal to run, I had to suck it up. Despite the goal of the 5k, I hate running. I have horrible memories of running in school where I was the last one to finish the damn mile in gym class. I couldn't even make it the whole way around the track once without having to stop. Now, I know running on a treadmill isn't exactly the same but I'm ridiculously proud of myself that today I ran a half mile.
I weighed myself and was pleased, we'll see how I feel on Monday when it's my 'official' weigh in. A friend of mine (Hi Georgette!) is on the same mission as me and we're challenging each other.
