Accomplishments Anyone?


Okay - it's a new month, the beginning of a new week, and well - there's no better time to jump back on the weight-loss band wagon. I love having new 'start times' (although I heard that you shouldn't wait for the 'perfect time' but instead just start immediately...) but this really does feel like the perfect time to re-start. So here we go. 

Does anyone have anything they want to share that was their accomplishment this past week? Big or small - exciting or not - please do share. I actually REALLY love reading the comments as I find it to be super encouraging. I'm not kidding. 

Now, I'm not sure if anyone remembers, but I'm also technically supposed to start my 'Couch to 5K' program tomorrow. Here's the thing. I don't think I'm ready. When I do my training session followed with my hour of walking... I feel REALLY tired. Like my legs are super sore and so is my entire body. So I think I'm going to still focus on just getting my walking in every day (since I'm supposed to do that whole 60-90 minutes a day thing...).

BUT - I am doing a 5K. One of my girlfriends asked me to do it. I'm not sure when or where it'll be, but I told her I'd do it if I could walk. (She's a runner) But she said she'd be more than willing to walk if I came. So there you go. I'm officially going to do a 5K whenever the next one comes around. 

And if any of you guys are going to do the 5k training program - please, OH PLEASE, check in here with your progress. I REALLY want to know an HONEST evaluation of the program. I'm thinking that at some point I'll be able to jog a 5K... but that is just so far down in my future right now. So EVERY DAY you do your training, PLEASE post here what you thought of it - how you felt, etc.

So my accomplishment for this past week is that I'm not giving up. I'm re-evaluating, getting re-motivated (I'm trying out two different forms of inspiration that will hopefully help me get focused) and I'm ready to re-dedicate myself to hitting my goals. And my 'small goals' at that. So who's with me?!

(and don't forget to share your accomplishments!!!)
