I'm so tempted to retake my measurements but I know I just took them a week or so ago...so not likely to be much change yet. And I don't want to get frustrated with no progress there if I really haven't given it enough time. Patience is definitely not my strong suit, but I do need to learn to be patient when it comes to weight loss and my health. My biggest nemesis is unrealistic expectations! I'm probably not going to be at goal weight by the end of the year. I may not be under 200 by the time we go to the beach in August. I'm most likely still going to have cellulite and rolls, and very likely to have loose skin. But as long as I keep this up, regardless of anything else, I'll be healthier and in better shape than I am now! And that's really what I need to focus on. Sure, the vain part of me wants to improve how I look, but more importantly I need to improve how I feel and my attitude and my behavior.
Tomorrow is C25K week 5, day 3, and I'm running 20 minutes solid. I'm worried about how I'm going to do,but it should give me a good idea of where I'm at in preparation for the 5K. 20 minutes is an estimated 1.75 miles. Just over half a 5K. Should be interesting!
