"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -Steve Prefontaine

Progress after Week 1

I must say, since week 1 has ended (the full work out week, not just Couch to 5k) I feel so much better. I'm happier, more positive, more upbeat. I just feel amazing. I have lost 1 pound so far and 1 inch in my waist and hips. I just want to scream to the world at how worthwhile doing all of this is. I never thought I had the self control or the motivation to count calories and work out 6 days a week or even remember to take my multivitamin daily. But since starting this with friends, I can do it.

My friends see me as crazy happy. I'm bubbly, bouncy and so cheerful. This is what happens when you treat your body right. My New Year's Resolution was to be a happier person and deal with stress better. Guess what world? I'M DOING IT!

So tonight after my last class ends at 7:30 p.m., I'll be headed to the gym for another wonderful date with the elliptical. I went on a run last night along with a workout in the gym at noon. Today it's elliptical day. Bring it on, world. I'm ready for you.
