Week two looked like this:
5 minute warm-up
90 second jog/2 minute walk intervals x 6 times
5 minute cool-down
DAY ONE
This day felt great! The runs went really well and I was ready to run when I was done with the walks. I felt strong.
DAY TWO
This is for some reason my hardest day both weeks. I was tired and sore and had to push myself the WHOLE TIME. It was definitely mental game.
DAY THREE
I decided to do the workout in the morning and it was harder than when I do it at night. I was just not awake enough and although the runs were not hard, the workout itself felt LONG.
I feel really good that I have been able to push myself and get my workouts down.
I also went back to my Wednesday weigh-in and was down 3 pounds since the first of the month last Wednesday. I did not count calories this weekend (no excuse...just gave myself a break) and am hoping to not have a gain on the scale this Wednesday. Here is to hoping for the best but not giving up no matter what the number is!

C25K Progress Report
WEEK ONE DAY ONE
Week one workouts consist of 5 minute warm-up followed by 20 minutes 60/90 walking/jogging intervals ending with 5 minute cool-down then stretching. Day one went really good. I completed all the jogs and was able to push even faster on the final jog. It felt good!!!
WEEK ONE DAY TWO
My calves were SSSOOOO sore. I was not sure I was gonna be able to get the whole workout done. I seriously counted down each of the jogs. I pushed and was able to finish it despite being so sore. I just kept looking forward to stetching when it was all done. The stetching was by far my FAVORITE part.
WEEK ONE DAY THREE
My calves were back to normal and the jogs were fine. I felt like I could keep going at the end of each 60 second jog. Hubby was home when I was on the treadmill so he took some pics of me finishing my final jog of week one...
I was so happy to finish week one strong and was able to workout Monday-Saturday (6 stars so far this month). I was proud that I chose to workout instead of just read a book or watch tv. On Satuday, I even read my book while walking on the treadmill so that I could get my workout in and still read the book that I was COMPLETELY sucked into.
Now on to week two...the workouts this week are 5 minute warm-up followed by 90/120 jog/walk intervals ending with 5 minute cool-down and stetching. I have already completed day one...which I will include in my progess report once this week is over.

April Review & May Goals
Alright...let's just get right to it...April was an okay month for me. Not good, not bad. Let's break it down by goal.
1. Track and stay within my calorie range everyday. Well I did track EVERY calorie EVERYDAY but I did have a couple days where I went over my goal. Overall, I still feel good about this because life happens and none of the days that I went over, were that out of control.
2. Lose 6 pounds. NOPE...I did lose 3.5 pounds. I am not really sure why except that working out has got to become more consistent.
3. Earn at least 20 workout stars (one star = 30 minutes exercise). Well I did get 15 which I think is pretty good considering that the first two week, I got only 4 of those. Like I said before, working out needs to be consistent. I need a plan to stitch to and I need to move more.
I am actually fine with this month. I feel like I am on the right track. I just need to stick with it now and up my movement. Now, for my goals for this month...
1. Start C25K on Tuesday May 3rd and continue throughout the month.
2. Lose some weight...I don't have a specific number because I want to just be happy with any success whether big or little.
3. Continue to track using myfitnesspal.com ...which is awesome for those you want a website to count calories with.
I signed up to do the C25K with other bloggers so I will post along the way about my progress. I have been trying to add jogging (not running, yet) into my treadmill workouts and I am excited to work my way through the C25K program. For those wondering what C25K is...check out details here. It is basically a training program that helps you to be able to run a 5K in 9 weeks. I am excited to see how much I have progressed at the end of 9 weeks.
