Day 5 = resistance

Today's training consisted of a 16 minute Walk/Run. 1 minute of walking followed by a minute of running and repeat 8 times.  Let me remind all my readers that I have not RAN since Oh Junior Year in High School- Senior Summer during morning practices for Dance Team...that was 8 years ago! I did great the first half but the second half I really had to push, and my left knee started hurting and felt like it was cracking! LOL

Highs: I Walk/Ran a mile in 15 1/2 minutes, I burnt 142 cals and completed it!
Lows: I suck...bad! As I was running I started thinking in 11 1/2 weeks I will have to run 3.1 miles, am I really going to be able to do this? Doubting myself is something I have to learn to stop, It usually holds me back and makes me revert to old ways. I know that this will get better over time, I just need to stay positive!

A Happy note: My mom said she noticed that I looked like I had lost weight already :)

Yesterday I did my Yoga and 10 min walk. That Yoga Dvd is serious! My body was and still is sore from the first day on Monday, but I was able to hold some moves longer, complete whole reps but also some positions I could not stick. I know that those will get easier with time as my body gets stronger. I also noticed that by taking my vitamins I have a lot more energy and was even wanting to work out again with Chris when he got home. I just need to keep up my motivation, and take it one day at a time!
