A week delay, but back at it.

Week 5. Day 1!  I've been fearful of week 5 but it was great!  I use the c25k app to run, but today I changed the settings.  I used to have alerts for during the runs it would count down, 2 min left, 1 min left, etc.  Instead, I took that off, as I found it made the 5 minute runs feel like eternity. 

Today's run consisted of three 5 minute runs, three 3 minute walks, and the 5 min warmup & cooldown walk.  I planned a playlist and it was pretty much great!  One song I might reconsider to put later in the lineup, but overall the songs were motivating and kept me going. 

I am so glad I went to do as I felt that same old laziness creeping into my bones.  I was going to put it off and laze about my house, watching tv and eating dinner.  I'm so glad I kept to my resolution because I don't want to be the same person that had gained weight by being lazy.

I've lost a total of 10 lbs so far and that's fabulous.  I'm very happy but it's only a third of the way.  I want to keep it up and keep going with both my weight loss goals and my goal for the 5k in April.

Set to run again on Wednesday!  Week 5. Day 2.
