Week Three Repeat

So we have all been sick and squeezing in workouts has been difficult!  Instead of posting about my piddly attempts at workouts, I am going to repeat week three this week instead of moving on to week four.  I am now able to breath through my nose again, so hopefully I can stay on track now!

Week Three Day One

After hearing Lani call this new work out a "son of a bitch" I was super worried I wouldn't be able to do it; but I did it!  I actually liked this workout better than the previous two weeks.  I think it's all mental.  I count the numbers in my head.  Before, we were running 90 seconds, walking 2 minutes.  We did that for 21 minutes.  That means I had to run 6 times.  With the new workout durations, I only had to run 4 times.  Even though I was running longer intervals, in my head, I was running a fewer amount of times.

I had to skip the 5 minute cool down this time because I had to rush home to get Connor off to TKD.  I did a small workout at home instead.

Week Two Day Three

Day three was super hard.  It should have been easier, but my knee was killing me.  While pregnant, my left hip and knee gave me problems, being 2 1/2 months postpartum I thought I was over it, but apparently I'm still a little weak on that side.  Before I start week three I'm going to stretch a little more and probably dig out a knee brace just to run in.

I ran an extra 90 second interval this time because I had to stop during one because my knee gave out.

Pictures will be taken tonight! Eeek!

Week Two Day Two

Ugh, trying to run the day after Thanksgiving was NOT cool.  Lani and I decided that we wouldn't count calories on Thanksgiving.  It was our day off.  However, I did meet my 2 mile goal!

Week Two Day One

Yikes! I've fallen behind on my blogging.  So, the first day of week two kicked my butt, but it wasn't as hard as the very first day!

I set a goal for myself to reach 2 miles next time.

Week One Day Three

I did it!  Week one is complete!  7 more weeks to go. My official start weight was 186.6 My weight now? 

1.8 pounds. Not a whole lot, BUT it's something right?  Hope to see a bit more next week.

Week One Day Two

Day two was SO much easier!  My pace was faster and I felt good and pushed myself harder.  Although I am not weighing myself until after this weeks workouts are complete, I already feel better. 

Instead of trying to find some crazy diet to follow (breastfeeding makes dieting a little more difficult) I have been calorie counting and just trying to eat better in general.  That also is making a difference already. I feel like I have more energy.  I cannot wait to complete my first 5k!
