Diet Soda and weight gain
I have been losing steadily since joining MFP a little over 30 days ago. Last night we had Subway for dinner and I decided to have a medium diet coke with my meal. My question is related to the scale this morning........... I am up 2 pounds from yesterday!! Nothing has changed in my diet (calorie count for the day was…

C25K with a cold?
I have been slowly working through the program all summer, and I have just completed W6D3.......and have just come down with a cold. :-( I really want to continue running, but I don't want to go out and push myself when maybe I shouldn't. Those of you that are further along, or veteran runners, what would you suggest. Go…

Time of day
I have been working through the program since mid-June and had reached week 7 when I went back to work teaching. We start our day with students at 7:45 and end at 2:!5........of course I am NEVER out of there before 3:00, most days is around 3:30 or 4:00. My problem is that when I started the program I was consistently…

W5D3
I DID IT!!! Of course, I was going REALLY slow (3.5 mph pace approx.)......but still, I DID IT! Feels SO good. Now I'm taking the next 3 days off to recover (sort of forced into it due to vacation and the weekend)......then on Monday it's on to week 6! :bigsmile: I feel like I'm on top of the world right now!

Decision to repeat week 3
After completing W4D1 on Monday and getting a horrendous headache and slight dizziness i have decided to go back to week 3 for today's run and Friday's run. While doing so I am really going to focus on making sure that I drink enough water throughout the day..............then I will try back at week 4 next week.

Headache and dizziness.....am I the only one?
Just completed W4D1. So proud of myself for getting through those 5 minute stretches! The only thing is about 1/2 way through I started to get a headache. Pushed on through and completed the run. However, when I got home not only did I have a headache, but when I sat down to drink my post-run water I started to feel dizzy…

W2D1
Just completed W2D1. I am so glad that I went this morning, rather than waiting for this afternoon........it's going to be 96 for a high temp here today! I felt great most of the time............every once in awhile I had pain in my shins, so I just slowed it down and it went away. Bring on day 2 on Wednesday!

Under 200 again!
The scale finally dropped below 200 this morning! Such a good feeling!

Tried to keep up on vacation
So I went on vacation this week. I decided to repeat week 2 rather than move on to week 3..........and am I glad that I did! I only got out two times, (Monday, and then again today. It was just so hot where we were camping, and too hard to get up in the morning after staying up too late by the fire. Next week I will be…

Just finished week 2
Today I went out for W2D3 earlier than I have for all of the previous days.......and boy did I struggle for the first half. Usually I get up, have 1/2 a cup of coffee and watch the news before I go out for my (run? walk? ralk? lol). This morning I had to get out right away, or I wouldn't have had the time later. I did…

Just finished week 1 :-)
So I just finished week 1, and I feel great!! There were a couple of times when I ran past the prompts to start walking again. There were also a couple of times when I felt some stiffness in my ankles, but I pushed on through by slowing down the pace a bit. Overall I felt great, and I'm looking forward to week 2, which I…
