Complete the sentence. Before I _________, I never thought I would _________. For example, Before I started Couch to 5K, I never thought I would enjoy running.

Please don't be crude. :-) Let's encourage each other in our fitness and healthy eating goals! What has this experience taught you about yourself? :-)

    Before I started trying to eat healthier, I never thought I would be a good cook.
    Before I started working out regularly, I never thought I would enjoy having sore muscles.

    I've been thinking about trying the Couch to 5K but I'm SO not a runner (or jogger). Has it really made you a running convert?

    Before I started eating healthier, I never thought I could cut down on the amount of cheese I was eating.

    Before I starting walking on a regular basis, I never thought I'd be able to walk five miles at once and think that was light exercise.

    Before I made this lifestyle change, I never thought I would lose weight.

    Sounds so insane but I had so many excuses and so many self-doubts that I truly believed losing weight was completely out of my control. Now, 70 pounds later I realize the error of my previous way of thinking.

    Couch to 5K made me a running convert! I'm on the 10K app now too!

    Definitely! I hated running but really wanted to get in shape! Couch to 5K eliminated the "sick feeling" I would get when running. It eased me into it. So long as I don't overdo it, I enjoy running now.
