pics4_65 17 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm starting c25k tomorrow on my brand new treadmill. Got it put together today and will start first thing in the morning. I'm going to do the program first time through walking steady then fast instead of jogging since I'm 80+ pounds over weight. Hoping by doing it once that way then do it again with jogging I will be able to do a 5k by my birthday in July. tee1976 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pics4_65 17 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Day one done. Both harder and easier than I thought it would be. Easier because any time I was ready to quit during the faster pace I could see it was almost over. Harder because I now know just how out of shape I am.

Timb113 48 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Pics, great job getting started. And I really like your plan of walking the program once before getting into jogging it. Great idea! TheRoseWithin~Shannon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TrishE Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Great Job!! First day done thats an awesome step. Dont worry you will be pleasantly surprised how quickly you start loving it. Just remember to be patient with yourself. The journey to being healthy is always on going it wont happen over night. No matter how fast or slow, youre always one step ahead of where you were when you werent exercising. Keep it up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrashLN 14 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 And don't dwell on how out of shape you are, focus instead each workout on making a slight improvement over the last one. You got this!! dairymaiden and maggiemae82 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pics4_65 17 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Day two down. Amazing how much this is really working me. It was slow getting this bad and will be slow getting myself back where I should be. Feels good to sweat because of doing something. I've decided I'm going to do this every other day instead of 3 times a week to make it harder for me to skip a day. Azatol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TrishE Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Sounds solid. Just be careful and dont push yourself too hard. Listen to your body. Congrats on day 2 by the way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pics4_65 17 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Since I'm just walking slow and fast I shouldn't have any problems with it being to hard on my body. My biggest problems will most likely be getting out of my own head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pics4_65 17 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Finished day 3 week one. I think I will repeat day 3 one more time because my calves are really feeling it during the run. Other than that I'm feeling really good so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pics4_65 17 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Used to die trying to step up into my husband's truck after work. Last night I got into the truck with no problem. The only major change I've made is following this program. Loving it! KellyAnn and Azatol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pics4_65 17 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Week 2 complete! I actually managed to not curl over the grips of the treadmill for the first time today and thought I had one more set to do when I hit the cool down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
