C25K... again
Me and DH started the C25K program for the 3rdish time, maybe 4th. I'm like a running relapser. Anyways the "diet", watching what we're eating started today. I really do want to make the change and lose weight but it so hard to stick with a program. I seem to do okay for the first 10-20 lbs and then I fall off the wagon and gain it back. I'm irritated with myself that I'm at this starting point again. I hate that I allow myself to constantly give-up on staying motivated. My life would be so much different if I was able gain control of my body.
Okay pitty party over.
I want to get in the habbit of starting my day off with doing some push-ups/sit up and stretching and the jogging in the afternoons with DH.
I know that several of us are in the process of losing weight/ getting health/ working out, would anyone want to do a weekly/ daily accountablitiy? Eating or exercising. Anyone have had success shedding the pounds and wants to share some tips?
Re: C25K... again
If anyone needs accountability, I will volunteer to call, text, whatever it takes to get a picture of y'all actually getting up and moving! It's sooo good for you, the benefits far outweigh the negatives, and think of the motivation to run laps around your DH!
If nothing else with C25k, I find that signing up for an *actual* 5k helps. It's like, oh snap I have a race in x number of weeks, I really NEED to do this now! Make it a family event- have your friends and DH cheer you on while you cross the finish line (I swear up and down there is no greater feeling than that...other than sex...but you can't exactly do that in a finish line chute).
This is why I'm running a 4mile race that morning and packing my papersuit for the pool where we're going
Sorry I kinda post and ran on this thread
I think a weekly check would be great. I'll try to post on Monday's if that works for everyone.
I think with the holidays coming up it makes it really difficult to stay on an exercise/ eating program. But even more important at the same time. Moshi- your right signing up for a race is a great motivater. I've done 3 5ks and the pressure of not wanting to be "that fat girl" who can't run keeps you honest with yourself.
