Hello from ScotlandHi to everyone on the March challenge,
My name is Janice and I'm a weight loss coach so you'd think I could just motivate myself, but really I could do with some support too - not to lose weight (though I'd be happy to lose a couple of pounds anyway if it happens) but to get fitter.
I accepted a challenge to run in a 5k charity race in May so I've just started a program which is called something like couch potato to 5K in 2 months - I found it online. If anyone is interested I'll look up the program again - it really is for beginners.
Honestly, I should listen to my own advice sometimes because I'm always telling people to find an activity that they love - and here I am - running - an activity which i don't like!
I have done 2 weeks so far and i want to make sure i keep it up - despite the (sometimes) howling gales, cold and rain which is what we call spring here :) Anyway it has been reasonably easy so far with no more than 90 seconds of running at a time this week interspersed with 2 minute brisk walks.
Getting myself in my gear and out the front door has been the hardest part - once I'm out it's not too bad and coming back home I feel great.
Other goals for the month
Drink more water (at least 4 glasses a day - I know I'm supposed to have 8 but 4 is a start)
Plan meals in advance before i go shopping so I don't get to 5p.m. and wonder what's for dinner
Looking forward to hearing all your progress not sure how thsi all works yet...
Janice
