wasting time...

That's right...I've wasted time. I could have been on here blogging amazing experiences, but I am not. Not because I've been doing so well and have no time, but because I am ashamed that I have gained back 20 of those 45lbs.
I could sit here and give you every excuse in the book, but I won't, because nothing is good enough.

So today, it's time to start anew. I tend to write this and say this but nothing happens, and I really hope, for my sake, that something does happen.
I did zumba, but it got to be so expensive.  So I finished out the year. But I still ate horribly, and that is one of my main problems :-(

But I am going to start a new plan today. Not one I've made up for myself, b/c that doesn't seem to work out so well, but one that I have found. I WANT to become a runner, so I'm hoping this will help me to do that. It's called C25K, or "couch to 5k". I'm going to post a quote and the weekly schedule here each week, so you know what I SHOULD be doing.

Soon, I also think I'm going to connect this to fb or at least tell a few select friends so they can keep me accountable, because an imaginary audience, or someone who just stumbles upon this because it is public is not really a motivation.

So week one I am starting with this quote: "Sit as little as possible. Give no credence to any thought that was not born outdoors while moving about freely."

--Friedrich Nietzsche

I love that. It is so true.

Ok, week one's schedule: 

	Week Workout 1 Workout 2 Workout 3 1 Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

So here's hoping I stick to this. I start today.  "rest" days are days where I will cross train (days in between) with one day as a true rest day. Also, I saw another program having running on 44 , not just 3 days, so I will probably add that in. I need to set this schedule for certain though, so here it is:

Today, Sat, is day 1 work out based upon schedule for the day, morning or evening

Sunday is walk 30 min, cross train, Start between 1 and 3pm

Monday is day 2 work out, 5:30pm

Tuesday is REST day

Wednesday is day 3 work out, 6:30pm

Thursday is walk 30 min, cross train, 5:30pm

Friday is walk/run at own pace, cross train, after school

First week in gym.  Eventually I want to get outdoors, as outdoor running is tougher!

Wish me luck. time to power up with a meal and get ready to go!
