Starting Week 6! Halfway there!

      I started Week 6 today with WO 5!  It didn't seem as hard the second time which seems to keep being the case with each new workout.  Tomorrow will be WO 6 which I like much better than WO 5.

A New Hobby????

       One of my friends from My Fitness Pal, Vicki, has inspired me to try Couch 2 5K.  Now let me just give you some background info first.  I absolutely HATE the thoughts of running at all!  Unless someone is chasing me with a sharp object or a large animal such as a bear is chasing me I just DO NOT do it!  That being said, spring has finally came back to the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and I decided to download the app on my phone on Saturday and try it.  I didn't get all the way through it b/c I got a runners stitch and ended up walking the rest of the way.  But today, I was sooo ready to try again so I did, but this time on the treadmill while my son was in Karate class.  I made it all the way through Day 2 today!  Yay me!!!  I am so proud of myself.  Now I don't know how dedicated to this program I will be but I am definitely going to try to do as much as I can.  Thanks again Vicki for keeping me motivated!  Thanks to all of you in cyber space who unknowingly keep me motivated through your posts on MFP and your blogs which I enjoy reading. 

Week 5 results:

Weight -1pound (Now a loss of 3.6 pounds since March 4th, not great I know but at least it is trending in the right direction.  I really do wish I could figure out why I am not losing as much weight I should be, but I will keep going on as long as I can feel the difference.  The scale is not the be all end all!

                           April 1st                            April 8th                             Loss
Waist:                  33.25                                    33                                   -.25
Belly Button:       36.25                                    35.5                                -.75
Hips:                    39.25                                    38.75                              -.50
                                                                                                                 1.5 inches

That is a total of 10 inches since March 4th just in my mid-section!  I will take it!  I have started keeping track of my legs, arms, and bust, but not a significant difference this week.  I probably won't measure those again until the end of Phase 2.       

Hope to see you all tomorrow!  WO 6 here I come!  Good luck tomorrow everyone!
