All you need is a little push.

I love having a non-scale related victory.

Tonight, while I was at the gym, I can say, I was victorious! I've been doing interval training on the treadmill per the C25k program. Since I've already completed the three days required, I decided to do something a little different, in preparation for next weeks activities.

Now, I honestly thought that I was going to have to repeat week one in its entirety before moving on to week two. This does not seem to be the case. The intervals are supposed to be walk 90 seconds, run 60 seconds and repeat for 20 minutes.

That got boring and I wanted my time to be over "quicker" so I began to run 90 seconds, walk 120 seconds and at the end, I pushed and actually ran for 120 seconds, 2 whole minutes! I've NEVER in my life been able to do that!!! After I did the cool down. I came home.

I was so proud of myself!

I burned 260 calories and rewarded myself with 180 of frozen yogurt goodness!

My conclusion is that I will actually be able to run a 5k in a short couple of months. I've been inspired by what my body can actually accomplish. The fact that I was constantly winded when I started is a thing of the past. I like being able to actually "run" a short amount of time without wanting to die! I'm proud of myself and I'm sure others are as well. I've set a goal, made a commitment and will achieve it!

TOMORROW IS A WEIGH-IN DAY! I'M EXCITED TO SEE MY PROGRESS. I'VE WORKED REALLY HARD THIS WEEK!!
