10 lb reward & fitness plan

Since I won the initial reward I picked for myself I needed to find a new prize for myself when I hit that 10 lb. mark. Because I like to reward myself in a non-food manner. Cause why would I treat myself to ice cream for losing 10 lbs.? Kinda defeats the purpose, don't ya think?

My new "reward" is this shirt from OneMoreMileRunning.com. It says, "You don't have to go fast. You just have to go."



Yesterday I started the Couch-to-5K Running Plan and logged 1.65 miles last night before bed. I know it could've been better but (1) I am completely out of shape, (2) 1.65 miles is better than 0 miles and (3) I'm SLOW. It's more of walking/jogging at this point then all out running and I'm so okay with that. I'm doing it 3 days a week, as advised by Cool Running so as not to overdo it but am planning on doing something 2 more days a week to give me 5 days a week of working out. I may do Pilates or Walk Away the Pounds. But I will do something. Something is always better than nothing.
