So I'm going on my 2nd week of no Insanity and I have to say I'm really missing it. However, I am enjoying my new workout program, Couch to 5K (C25K). If you're interested in doing a 5k or just being able to run 3 miles, this is a good program to start with. It goes for 9 weeks and for 3 days each week you work through the training schedule. Each week you're changing how long you walk and how long you run till eventually you work up to 3 miles of all running! There seems to be many sites out there in regards to this program, I use this site www.coolrunning.com. So far I am enjoying it and finding I am getting my running groove back. I'm also doing a 20 minute weight lifting workout with my husband John each night after I get home from work. He has designated a day to doing each muscle group.
Now, I just need to be a lot more focused on my diet. My diet is always something that has messed with my mind and I'm finding I really need to get a grip on it in order to see more changes to go with all the exercise work I am doing. I can't say I'm doing horrible with it just not to the degree it should be. I'm working on making those changes even more noticeable.
I still need to take some before and after photos for this but I also need to post some after photos from doing Insanity because I did see a change in my body after 2 months. So maybe those will come soon...I have to admit I'm rather leery of taking photos of myself but that is part of the process too...putting yourself out there!
I just want to encourage everyone to do whatever you can to find the time to take care of your body. You've read in my past blogs that I am NOT a morning person and it really took everything in me to make myself get up so early in the morning to workout. But I'm so glad I did and I'm so glad I had a friend motivate me to do that. She wasn't doing it to hurt me or make me feel guilty or bad for how I had been in regards to my exercise and diet. She did it to light a fire under me and to make me realize that I do have time to do these things if I just make a place for it (Thank you Shavonne). And if that means getting up at 430am, 5 days a week, then so be it! My blogs of my workouts are not to brag or do any such thing. It is to encourage you, motivate you, and inspire you! Just taking that first leap of faith is the biggest step you'll make and a step you won't forget or regret!
Dedicate, Motivate, and Inspire!!!!
