Pumped

I almost forgot to write about my proud moment last night! I did day one of week four on the couch to 5k! The workout breaks down like this:

Warm up: 5 minutes
Run: 3 minutes
Walk: 90 seconds
Run: 5 minutes
Walk: 2.5 minutes
Run: 3 minutes
Walk: 90 seconds
Run: 5 minutes
Cool down: 5 minutes

I made the last run SIX minutes which means that I ran a total of 17 minutes! That's MORE than half. And I felt ok afterwards. I wasn't dying. I mean it certainly wasn't easy and I was ready for that last run to be over, but I did it. Might I someday actually be able to run for 30 minutes straight?? Looks like this might be possible. I ended up doing 2 miles in 30:51. Which I realize is still not amazing, but it's a good start. By August I hope to be doing 3.1 miles in 35-40 minutes. Probably closer to 40 - but why not shoot for 35?!

And now for the bad news -- I went out for lunch since it was half price lunch at the Flying Saucer and I got a veggie burger that came with cucumbers, avocado, lettuce, tomato and onion. Good, right? And a side of FRIES! Woops. But I don't feel bad or guilty. I've counted the points and will adjust my day accordingly. As long as I don't let it turn into a horrible downward spiral I'll be a-ok! It's all about finding balance.

AND, I'm super excited for the finale of The Biggest Loser. I cannot wait to see who got voted off and how everyone looks! YAY!
