I Did It! YIPPEEEE

[cruiser gal]

Got up early this morning, and dh and I decided to start the Couch/5K program. I have never jogged before, and my knees had been so weak with all the excess weight I was carrying. Well the first 15 minutes were torturous ones, but the next 15 my knees didn't feel a thing. We even did another 15 minutes of power walking after, and even bought an outdoor lounge bed on the way home! I could get used to this program! If I can do it, anyone can!!!

Congrats!!! That is awesome!

The first step, literally, is the hardest!

Working out is TRULY second nature to me at this point! You'll get there too!

That is so wonderful!!!!! I know how hard it is to be able to jog. I am still too heavy on my knees so I don't, but I am looking forward to being able to run again. Big Congrats to you!!!

Way to go!!! It takes that first time and you've already begun a new way of life! BTW, your new picture looks GREAT!

Way to go! You must feel awesome. You are now thin enough to run. I am so nervous about running because of the damage I have done to my knees. Maybe I just need to go out and try it. I keep thinking about it. Did you have problems with your knees later?

Kiasmama - consider your butt kicked!

mamakimberly - I have been working out 5-6 days/week for the last 5 months now, it's the jogging that's new to me.

Thank-you all for your kind words.

Cleo - thx., the picture is 3 months old, and I am about 20 some pounds less now, so I guess it's time for a new pic!
