Today, was a GREAT day. It started off, where I slept til 12 (SHOCK! I couldn't sleep very well last night so I got up and watched episodes of the Waltons til 3!) I felt like I had wasted most of the day. Kenny was heading off to the gym and I just wanted to curl up on the couch and watch rubbish telly but he convinced me to get out for a long walk with Molly. So I got changed, strapped my heart rate monitor on, grabbed my iPhone, put on my fabulous new playlist, and did Couch to 5K. Now I have done this before, got to the 2nd week and feel like I can run for 30 mins without stopping. I found it so hard just to run for 1 minute. But it was a glorious day, the sun was shining, and although it was quite cold, I kept going until I completed my 30 minutes, and then continued for a further 30 minutes of walking with a bit of random jogging! Molly loved it too! I took a few photos while I was out - what a beautiful day it was!

And before I go - my starting weight...............DUN DUN DUN!!!!
187.8lbs - I think thats about the same weight I was when I started this blog!! But no point in crying over put on fat! It's time to be positive. Time to get this fat off once and for all. No matter how long it takes.
I will post my measurements tomorrow. I did take some during the week, but I can't seem to find my notebook :-( I do remember it being bad though!
And before I go, I thought I would show you all the flowers I bought myself yesterday! They sure do brighten up the coffee table =)
Goodnight wonderful bloggers!

















Wow...running for 30 minutes is great! Good job. And you are right...there is no use crying over the past. Pick up, take what you have learned and start over. Great attitude!
