As of today I have hit the "10 pounds lost" mark. I am so excited!!! It takes me a little longer to take off weight as quickly as others due to a pre-existing medical condition involving my breathing and an under developed lung. So to have worked so hard and taken off ten pounds is really a triumph for me.
I've been really sticking to using my Nike+ (Nike Running) and Nike Training Challenge (NTC) apps on my phone. Seeing my progress on the Nike+ plus app has encouraged me to step my game up from 2.5 miles last week to just over 3 miles. Plus, I've succeeded in drinking more water. When I first started this I was only drinking a 20oz bottle of water after working out. I admit I HATE WATER! It seems that I could only get the water down after working up a sweat. But the last three days I've managed to get down THREE 16oz bottles of water a day.
Now onto next weeks challenge: The 30 Day Challenge by Mr. Shut Up and Train. Its a free online challenge and it has categories for beginners, intermediate and advanced. I've never done anything like this. I hope I get past the first week lol. I convinced two co-workers to do it with me. Every morning at 5 a.m. I will get an email explaining what is expected of me for the day. Things like how many exercises to do, how much water for the day etc. There's no special equipment needed. I'm excited and scared so wish me luck people!
