Today is the 4 week mark for when I started my new diet and exercise lifestyle..
I've been keeping you all updated along the way, but I just wanted to check in and tell you all that I've lost 13 lbs in these 4 weeks.
Yes.. THIRTEEN pounds!! I'm so very happy with that number, especially because my goal for myself was 8-10lbs a month!! I've been doing a lot of weight training, too, and I can notice muscle building so I probably have lost more fat than those 13lbs, but since I'm building muscle, that's not going to show on the scale.
Not only that, but I've also finished my first week of my c25k (Couch to 5K) program today. I'll be moving on to week 2 on Thursday and am slightly dreading it (since I have to run longer), but also am very excited to be going on week 2.

And.. just to show you all how crazy I am, I'm going to share with you my workout schedule. (I'll include the weight size I'm doing as of now, but I'm always trying to up that number over time).

YAY! Go you! And I saw your other post about buying new shoes--isn't buying new workout gear the best motivator? I love running outside with my pup, but the cold weather has set me back a bit. SO, I'm hoping to go out this week and buy a sweet pair of winter running pants to motivate me! :-) Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWow that is wonderful! You are way more motivated to exercise than I am. I enjoy walking and jogging, but I can't motivate myself to drive to the gym.
ReplyDeleteDang girl! That's super awesome!!!!
