Well, it took 4 months, but I've finally finished PS! Now onto CS, need to get to 190...here we go!

I'd say just repeat the last workout until you can complete it without pausing. Moving from the 5 min to 8 min intervals was more of a mental barrier for me, I just slowed down a little and found that the 8 minutes were easier than the 5, weird but awesome!

Week 5 Day 2 in the bag! W5D3 is a little intimidating, but I'm ready for it!

Half way done!

W4D2, it was so much easier than Thursday, I didn't need to slow down (not that I go fast to start with, but still) and I wasn't staring at the clock the whole time :smiley: I'm actually looking forward to running again!

Completed W4D1 yesterday. I have never run 5 minutes straight it my life and it was awesome!

For me the first probably two weeks are a little...odd. After that my body adapts and things get better than before, especially if I eat a lot of vegetables, greasy food still wreaks havoc though. Hang in there!

Whichever you can stick to! Or alternate them if you have access to both :smiley:

Personally I let Fitbit take care of it. If you do decide to log exercise manually I believe the Fitbit calories will adjust so they aren't double counted.

I'm on week 3 also, I had such a hard time on the 3 min run until I slowed down a bit. I'm kind of scared of next week though!

Soup is easy, chop up some veggies and maybe some meat, cover with water and simmer until the veggies are tender, season with salt and pepper.

I just started on Monday so today will be W1D3. For some reason Week 3 always derails me, but I'm going to get through it this time!!

This is VERY common. Many autistic people have sensory issues (over or under sensitive to touch, noise, etc) and all that sensory input (the noise, people, movement) can overload their systems pretty quickly.
