Uh oh.  Not the best way to start, but I'm semi-okay about it because I weighed 131.2 on August 2nd (I really have to stop weighing myself more than once each week though...).  However, I'm very disappointed in myself for another reason.  I went on a massive peanut butter binge/craze these past few days.  Bad decision, but I'm excited to start fresh and get back on track!

HERE WE GO, READY TO DO THIS!

Chicken soup, yogurt, chocolate pudding, and jello were my meals for a couple of days after the surgery.  It's funny though, because during the recovery period you actually don't seem to feel as hungry as you do normally, so it's actually not too bad having mostly liquids for the first few of days.

Hope that helps!  You're surgery will go great (mine was much easier than I had been expecting) and you'll be back to eating all of your yummy foods in no time!

Well, I've almost made it ... I officially have ONE RUN LEFT in the C25K program!!!  Oh my goodness, I never thought that I could ever run comfortably for a full 30 mins!!!

YAY!

YAY EVERYONE!!!

Finished W7 with my best run ever!!  9:43 per mile ... whee!

I just finished W8D1 this morning and I got some side stiches so I had to slow down quite a bit (gah, I hate that .. it's so disappointing!!) ... but I finished the 28 mins without stopping!  Wow, at the start of all this, I would have NEVER thought I could run for 28 minutes straight.. YAY!!!

Everyone is doing so great .... I get such motivation reading all of your posts because I know we're all in this together ... aw yay

ps. I joined your Mashed Potatoes group bobev!!  I'm "ladystardust" (I like david bowie a lot :P)

YAY bobev, lozzle and carrie!!!!  you are all inspirations to meeeee

well, I'm back at university now, and while it is MUCH harder to get up early in the morning, I have managed to maintain my running schedule so far ... I did W7D1&2 this week so far, and they were haaaard haha.  actually, I was doing great today until I got an excrutiating side stitch with about 5 minutes left to go ... I was so upset that I had to stop for a couple minutes!  but oh well, I am proud that I finished my run though

Hooooray!!!!! keep up the amazingness everyone

1639/1500

my final total! cooool

I like your names bobev!  maybe instead of "CC Plus Potatoes" we could be something like "CC Plus Potatoes-No-More!!"  hahaa

because we're awesome

Yayyyyyyy thanks bobev ... and great job everyone!

first 25 minute run tomorrow .... rar ... let's do ittttt!!!!

1604/1500

1511/1500

reached my goal!!!  I'll try to make it to 1750

YAYYYYY!!! Awesome job guys

I finished W6D2 today ... it was great!!!  haha but I would have almost rather run for a straight 20 minutes than have to stop after 10 and then start running again ... I used to LOVE the walk breaks (I still do!), but I find it sooo much harder to get going again now after stopping to walk... blah!  hahah I might eat my words after Friday though ... 25 minute run .. eek!  But I can do it

Keep it up everyone!!!  And anyone who's interested should join bobev's challenge (see previous posts)!!  It'll be fun!

I'm totally in on this one bobev!!! Great idea!

I signed up for this "Worldwide Run" (cool!) about a month ago, but I would definitely like to join a team of fellow C25K-ers if you start one!! I think it would be cool if we created our own team (and it has to have an awesome name ) and all joined up!

I'm really pumped for this!!

Yay! My numbers are heading back down again!  ... My oh my, it's looking doubtful at this point, but I really hope I can reach my goal!

bobev & lozzle: I agree!!  I did W5D2 this morning (2 reps of 8 minute running) and it really wasn't bad at all!  I felt great!  And during the first 8 minutes I felt like I could definitely keep going for 20 whole minutes!  Hopefully I feel that way on Friday when I do D3 lol

Everyone is doing awesomely amaaaazing , and to those just starting out ... you can do this!!  Trust me/us, it gets easier as you go (well, it has so far anyway) and if during a run your brain starts screaming out "Stop! Stop running! I'm sooo tired and can't run anymore!" ... then just think to yourself, "This is just mental exhaustion, NOT physical exhaustion."  Fight your negative thoughts and keep going! ... I always tell myself this, and it's gotten me through a lot of runs .

Good luck!
