Going for 25... 2/1 - walked only treadmill 2/2 - C25k week 2 day 1 - 2.5 miles treadmill 22.5 to go

Finished week 2 day 1. Really sore from insanity but made it all the way through! Looking forward to Wednesday

Good luck getting started!!

I love the way I feel after the workout. Today is the first day that I will work all day then have to work out with it. I am so tired but I am going to do it!!!

I am just got started

I also work out at home. I have a treadmill and I have just started Insanity. There is a weight bench stored in the basement as well, but I don't know where to begin with it! I prefer to work out at home because working out in front of other people does not inspire me at all and the nearest gym is a good 15-20 minutes away.

Congrats on getting day 1 of Week 2 finished!!

I had two eggs fried in olive oil, a pancake with butter and honey, and two pieces of toast with apple butter. YUM!

I am just getting started on Insanity and I am doing C25K 3 times a week on the treadmill. I don't usually snack a lot but the milk and Nesquick came to 225 calories and that seemed a little high for a snack and I didn't think that it had a lot of protein. When you suggest lean meat, do you just eat the meat? I think I can…

I have to weigh at work so I only weigh once a week when I get the chance. I also weigh usually about mid-morning fully clothed and after I eat breakfast. I guess it probably isn't as accurate as the first thing in the morning, but I don't own a scale, so it works for me for now.

I am in Kentucky and our weather is a lot better, but it just gets dark too darn early. I use a treadmill too. Finished week 1 day 3 today and feel great! Also started Insanity. Can't wait to run on Monday!

I am Amy. I am 37 from Kentucky. I completed the c25k program fall/winter 2013 and ended up with an injured right knee so I stopped running all together until this week. I restarted c25k and have only completed week 1 day 2. I don't have the desire to run in a race, but feel better when I am more physically active. I will…

I will try it. Just started c25k so I think 25

Made week 1 day 2 this afternoon. Still don't feel like I have done enough. I think I will do day 3 tomorrow

I'm in too! Week # 1 – February 2nd - Goal 180 minutes and/or burn 2500 calories: Mon: Tue: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 0 / 180 Total / cal left: 0 / 2500

I went to a Mexican Restaurant last weekend. I tried to save up some calories before I went so I could eat what I liked without going too far over. I know the chips are high in calories so I only ate two or three. I ordered a chimichanga and enjoyed all of it! I tried to add in the calories as best as I could in my diary.…

I have also always been the "southern" eater of meat and "taters". I have started branching out by trying to cook things different ways. I was one that would not try something if I tried it once and didn't like it, but found that when it was cooked or even seasoned differently it makes a huge difference on taste. I now…

I also have a hard time with early mornings. I agree to try to do a late Thursday. It won't give you as much time in between the runs, but it might be more successful. Good luck!

Congrats on starting again! There is a whole group of us on 1/27 start up discussion. I have only did day 1 and will be doing day 2 tonight. Feel free to join in on our thread for some support and encouragment!

So glad that you made it out, but sorry about your child. I know that running outside is so much different and I look forward to trying outside when it is a little warmer. CONGRATS on getting started!

I am starting off day workouts this weekend. I did not get to do day 2 last night because of too busy with the kids. I am going to do day 2 tonight and then start Insanity tomorrow. It sounds like you may have some soreness for a while with that workout and I am afraid mine may be the same. I am going to try to make sure I…

Sounds like to me you are over doing it. I did the same thing and kept walking briskly after the program was finished and did extra on the days off. I ended up injuring my knee. After some time off I am now restarting but only following the program. I did day one yesterday and even though I didn't feel like I did enough,…

I have always heard you should be able to carry conversation. If you go faster and can't carry conversation then you are where you need to be for now. As time goes by and you get in more shape you will be able to go faster. I am 5'10 so I just naturally walk fast and in order for me to feel like I am jogging I have to up…

I agree that salads can be mixed up a whole lot more than other things. As another said, you could have a different salad all week. What I hear is that you are more tire of eating the same thing over and over so it doesn't go to waste. How much of the freeze is yours? Could you freeze some of the soup so that you only have…

Ok. I took the advice and cleared all progress to start over. I did week 1 day 1 yesterday afternoon on the treadmill walking 4 mph and jogging at 6.5. I am 5'10" so going any slower felt like I was in between a walk and and a jog. I stopped at the end of the program and made myself get off the treadmill. I really didn't…

AWESOME everyone!!! Did week 1 day 1 yesterday afternoon on the treadmill. I had to make myself stop at the end of it because I wanted to do more, but want to dedicate to doing this program and doing it right. I walked at 4 mph and ran at 6.5 to try and slow myself down some. The good news is my knee doesn't hurt near as…

I am not a morning runner. I will run after work about between 3-5 on most days. So have you already completed today's run?

Maybe you could try to walk and then walk faster when it says to jog? Work up to a faster walk until you feel that you can start to run part of it. The point is to get moving and take your time. I would redo days/weeks if I am not where I wanted to be.

If you have a Kroger's anywhere near you, their Carbmaster vanilla is WONDERFUL! It only has 4 grams of sugar so a lot less than the others I have tried and 12 grams of protein. I eat it every day and dip either strawberries or apples in it as well.

I will start again with you. I will be doing it on the treadmill until the weather breaks, but would love to have someone that is doing it at the same time. What time of day do you plan on running?
