Health and Fitness Friday : C25K Training

It's been a good week for me.

2 classes, 2 runs and my diet wasn't too bad either.

I managed to get in a run besides the one at training and I am very happy with it. I ran in the pouring rain. A first for me. My time was slower then at training. I guessing because I didn't have the group pushing me on. But my pace was good and there was no fat man sitting on my chest stopping me from breathing.

This run felt different. It felt fantastic! It felt natural to me. It gave me the want for more. More running. More miles. I looking forward to the day were 2 miles is just my warm-up.

I know 2 miles isn't much but it 2 miles more than I ran last week and that is huge for me.

We're moving on to week 4 of the Couch to 5k training  program.

This could cause huge problems for me if I set out too fast. I need to concentration on my pace and breathing and not who's passing me out.

"The only person I need to beat is myself"

This in my motto to try keep me on track.

Hope it works.

My classes I started are going good too. The second skinny jean workout was so much better. I was able to get down the stairs like any normal person would and I wasn't afraid to sit down. ha!

The sculpted abs workout was amazing.I didn't feel any burn when we were doing the exercises but I felt it after. I felt it in the muscles deep, deep down in my abs. The ones that I forgot I even had. I felt it all weekend and up until Tuesday. I can't wait to go again today and see what the trainer has in store for us.

Here are my workouts for the week.

Friday (today) : Sculpted Abs

Saturday : C25K training

Sunday : Walking

Monday : Skinny Jeans workout

Tuesday : Walking

Wednesday : Jog( fingers crossed)

Thursday : Walking

I've cut down on my sugar intake. I decided to try wean myself off it. Don't think I could handle the headaches and possible mood swings if I went cold turkey. It's like a drug. 

I tried a few recipes from the Operation Transformation program. Healthy Cottage pie and Chicken pineapple curry with pea rice are two that I've tried and they were Yummy! Everyone had seconds and plates were clean.

That's it for this week. I'm linking up with Jen over at A Daily Dose of Davis for her weekly linkup.

Have a great weekend everyone!
