Week 2 - So Far..

I just finished Week 2, Day 2 of C25K.. and I gotta say that this week sucks in comparison to last. I have to resign myself that there will be good days, and bad days. It also doesn't necessarily mean that there won't be bad weeks either. My next run day will be Saturday (What!? No sleeping in!?), and hopefully it will go better than the last 2 days:

Day 1

Workout time - 31 min
Alternating 2 min of walking with 1.5 min of jogging
10:46 min per KM


Day 2

Workout time - 30 min
Alternating 2 min of walking with 1.5 min of jogging 
10.54 min per KM 

On the bright side, this week hasn't been a total failure when it comes to running. I have finally figured out how to use a playlist with my C25K app. Yes, I'm that technically inclined that it took me nearly 2 weeks to figure out. This should make choosing the music a little easier, now that I can make several appropriate playlists to use as I go. Also, let me just say that there's something about hearing "Fight for Your Right" that totally gets me moving. Maybe it's the the "Kick it" at the beginning, maybe not. Whatever it is, I sort of feel like I could just run with that song on repeat for the entire 30 min I'm out there. Just sayin'.


This week is also marking another week that's showing no weight loss. I am losing inches, so I know I'm doing something right. Since I started this whole running thing I've been starving, so I have decided to up my calorie intake - not my much mind you. In doing so, I find I'm not feeling so grouchy and I don't feel hungry all. the. time. Now, that said, my bright idea to eat more is probably contributing (at least right now) to the lack of weight loss, but I'm sure that once my body adjusts to it a little more, it will start coming off again. That's the idea anyhow. I know I need to eat enough to fuel my body, and being hungry all the time is not a good thing.


Now, that said, I've also decided to take a little break from tracking my weight. I'm not saying that I'm going to start eating French Fries (oh, French Fries.. how long we've been parted.. ahem) at every meal, I just don't want to get discouraged when I see the little needle on my scale not moving. I'll still be tracking everything I eat, everyday, and I'll still be exercising. I'll probably measure a little more to see progress that way too. I'll check back in with the scale in a few weeks and see where we're at.
