Ok, so the weight loss blog wasn't such a great idea. But never fear, I haven't given up on the weight loss, just on writing about it. It's rather boring and tedious. I'm now down 33.4 pounds total since September. Slow, slow, slow.
Last month, in an effort to speed things up a bit, I finally got back to the gym. I've been there four or five times per week for nearly a month now. On 3/17, I started the Couch to 5k program. I've just finished Week 3 and will be heading into Week 4 tomorrow.
It's been such a shock to discover that I *can* run. Not fast; not for long; but I can do it. Sunday, I completed treadmill 5k in 46 minutes. Yesterday, I did 2 miles outside on the YMCA path in 24 minutes. Sports sponsorships aren't going to start rolling in any minute, but I am thrilled with my progress! I'm a over 200 pound 46 year old woman, and I am a runner. Who the hell would have ever thought that? Not me!
Tonight is another Weight Watchers weigh-in night. I doubt there's going to be a sizable loss. I've been averaging less than a pound a week. I've found that with the exercise, the weight is not falling off like I'd hoped, but things are definitely changing. The size 18 pants I bought in February are loose. I hate wearing loose clothes, but I don't want to keep buying new ones.
