So its day 21, and so far I have lost 7.2 pounds. I am going to try and aim for a whole 10 pounds gone before 28 days...don't know if it will happen but I am sure going to try.
Its week 3 of my run 5k in 6 weeks and I must say I do feel stronger and I can run longer but I think I might have to reevaluate it. My knees are just in too much pain at the end of each session, so I was thinking I might try to do a 5k is 12 weeks, just to get my legs/knees stronger. So basically once I hit the last week, go back to the last two weeks and repeat them for another 6 weeks.
Tonight I am going to try and run with my knee brace on and see if that makes a difference. I am liking it though, the sweating makes me feel invigorated somehow...like I am doing my best.
So I keep expecting it to just stop, the weightloss to just stop and go back up. I have never been on a "diet" before, never really ever had to try and lose weight. I was always in a healthy range until 8 yrs ago when I did fertility treatments. Never did get a baby out of the deal but got an extra 60 pounds because of it...then over the next 7 yrs added another 31 pounds. The weight didn't come on overnight and I know it won't leave overnight but I am glad I am seeing little changes. Keeps me motivated and encouraged. Plus I am getting tremendous support at work, people keep on commenting on how I am getting smaller. I don't know if they actually believe it or are just being supportive, but whatever, I will take it!!
This morning was a small victory for me, I put on a pair of pants that have been tight for the last year...and today they slipped on and weren't even a little snug...baby steps.
My husband has been the most supportive person ever, he is even on this site now. He doesn't have to lose weight, but he is tracking his calories, seeing how he can eat better. He's lucky, he would lose weight if he just stopped drinking pop...men suck that way...lol...
Well I better get off now and go for my run. Wish me luck!!
