Removing Temptation

Well, I am now 49 years + 1 day old! I've decided to make this year ahead a year of better health! So what did I do? I removed temptation. Hello, my name is Lesley, and I love pizza! I can now admit that I HAD the apps for both Domino's Pizza AND Papa John's on my iPhone. And guess what! I just deleted them! Will it keep me from ever ordering pizza again? Doubt it, but now it'll be a little bit harder! And some days, it is the little things that help make a difference.

Fitting in the Exercise

Well, I haven't been to the gym this week as planned, but I have taken a couple of walk breaks at work, tracking the distance and time with the MapMyRun app on my iPhone. Even though it's been crazy hot the past couple of days, taking a few minutes to walk has made a difference. I'm down 2.2 pounds this week, to boot!

Couch to 5K Week 4, Day 1 Complete

I finished C25K Week 4/Day1 this morning before work, and it wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was still pretty challenging! The run intervals were longer than the walk intervals (minus warm up and cool down), which was work for me. I'm still a little tired from it, but okay to get through the workday. Of course I have class tonight! I think I'll be sleeping well again.

I've been using a different app from the initial one. This one was created by Active.com, the creator of the "original" C25K program, so it goes for the whole 9 weeks. The other app I tried was an 8-week program. Check out more information on Active.com's app here.

C25K W2D1 Complete

I finished W2D1 today with a new-to-me C25K app by Zen Labs. Enjoyed the app, which gave me voice commands to run 90 seconds and walk 120 seconds, and played my own music in between commands. I went a little slower than normal (ha!) today, since the running intervals were longer, plus I didn't sleep well last night. I have some extra energy left in me now, so I probably could've gone a little faster. :-)
