Batgirl Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I've progressed to this Forum because I had a setback & didn't give up. W4 scared me a little at a time when I had already pushed my body too far. I took a break for more days than I should have, but reflection did come & I repeated W3D3 two more times to convince myself that I am doing the right thing. I will not repeat W3 anymore. Maybe I'll refer to the "W" as Workout Level, rather than Week. I'm proud to have completed W3 & will now commit to W4 for as long as it takes me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janviv Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Well done, keep going, we will all support you here, we have all had a (Week? Day?) that gives us a problem, but it is soooooo good when you overcome it, both mentally & physically. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batgirl Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Finished W4 and it wasn't horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batgirl Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Thank you W4. It took me two weeks to complete W4, but it totally prepared me for W5. Just completed W5D1 with no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwinkb Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 For me running is more mental than physical. I weigh damn near 300lbs yet I keep forgetting that I am a fat guy. You can do this! You got this! Don't tell yourself you can't do it or that it is too far. Tip: I got through my first continuous 20 minutes run by doing a body scan every 5 minutes. I evaluated my pace, breathing, how my muscles fealt etc. I kept telling myself I just made it 5 minutes, what is another 5? I just made it 15 minutes 5 to go...piece of cake! When you feel weak or lack that drive only focus on positive things. Even if you quit your run early. Look at only the positives.

KellyAnn Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Way to go everyone. Woohooooo!!! Nice advice CorwinkB!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batgirl Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Kinda stuck on W5. I did complete it with the 20 min run (so proud), but then went on vacation & did other activities. Returned to chaos at work, so skipped a second week. Just getting back into this week by repeating W5. Slow & somewhat steady. That's me.
