Exercise: yes, 30 minutes c25k(week 1, day 1) and 30 minutes walking
Was very excited to complete day 1 of C25k today. I used to run a lot during high school, and off and on after graduating. I really want to get back to it, so I started today! Much easier than the first time I tried c25k a few years ago!
I did eat mostly junk today, but managed to stay under. Tomorrow is a new day and am looking forward to being 100% planned out. My GOT challenge started up again today, so I will be making sure to get strength and flex in more(I've been slacking!)
I decided to start C25K again this morning (started it many times before). I don’t really “run”, but seems like moving a little faster than my normal walk makes me feel better and gives me more energy through the day. Hoping I can keep it up this time and maybe even get to week 8
That's brilliant @pkg1998 - I'm much the same with my "running". Trying to jog/walk in C25k fashion!
I'll keep an eye out for your run updates and hope it'll spur me on to keep going here too ☺️
I started c25k Sunday! I did pretty well(I'm factoring in that I have been working out for the past 5 month. I think that's why it went pretty well for me). We have sunny skies today, so I am hoping that I will be able to do day 2 tonight after work! I hope we all can stick with it!
This group support just gets better! ☺️ A mini run club online is just what I need since I run on my own in real life.
Great news on the sunny skies @cmhubbard92 . I headed out tonight too but got some pretty bad shin splints so stopped at 3km and headed home. Had a good stretch out so hoping tomorrow I'll be back on it!
Me, too, please!!
I went to the Chiropodist today, and I do NOT have plantar fasciitis!!! I have something that will heal a lot sooner - medial calcaneal nerve branch neuritis. (I actually shed a few tears of joy as I left his office!) Heat, massage, topical pain treatments, and some new inserts (expensive, but not custom) is what he prescribed. He even said I could start running. He called it active recovery. I will probably give the inserts and his prescribed treatments a few days to start working before I give running a try, but I would like to be a part of this Big Butt Running Club, fingers crossed, come next week.
Who else is doing a C25K type running program or who would like to start and use this thread to post updates and inspire and motivate each other? So far, there is @pkg1998, @cmhubbard92, @Coral333, and @swauters. @Nicoletime4me, sometimes you do C25K. Are you interested in upping your running game?
That's brilliant news @HASWLRS 🎉 So pleased for you as I know plantar fascitis can take an incredibly long time to correct (if it ever does) so no wonder you shed a tear or two!
Thanks @swauters and @cmhubbard92 They eased off quite quickly after I got home and stretched out. I think last night it was my outdoor route, I spent a bit more time on the pavement than on the trail. Mentally feeling really good though!
Have a great day everyone.2 -

I am so excited to hear you don't have PF!!! Take the time you need to heal, then start running with us!!! I'm so excited that so many of us are doing this!

@prehistoricmoongoddess, you should be!! A pound every week will get you to your goal before year's end. And when the second number starts with a "4", it sounds so much better than a "5"!!!2 -

@Tracie_Lord, so your first day back to work was a bit of a culture shock for you. Hopefully today is going better for you.0 -

I'm just a pound away from my halfway point. I spent a long time thinking I couldn't lose weight at my age, and then, thanks to MFP, I realised that I could.
I've got photos comparing what I looked like a year ago, to what I look like now, and the difference is amazing.
Your support has been invaluable.

So I don't remember exactly what last week was, but Easter got me. My scale taunted me with a 158.8 this morning
On the bright side, I did get into the program I interviewed for! Pretty excited about that one. I've also already passed my exercise goal for the day and I'm being productive. It's a good day!
Hope everyone is having a good week!3 -

@eatingfoodles, you are only up one pound, and it is just a few days past Easter. Give yourself this next week to work on it, and it will be gone.
Congratulations on getting into the program you interviewed for!! Nothing like working towards something and achieving it!! If you are ever feeling chatty, we'd love to hear more about it.0 -
