Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle.....
That is the first thing that I noticed as I started running. I was jiggling everywhere.
I have came a LONG way so far this year. I have lost a total of 36lbs and 42". THAT'S A LOT! Not as much as I could have done without having the responsibilities that I currently have.
A little history about Mrs. SGS. In High School I was heavy. My first boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me over a girl that had just moved into town and was tall, pretty, and thin. It was heart breaking. I decided I needed to make a change. I lost 60 lbs in a very short amount of time. I played soccer for my H.S. soccer team and I would come home from practice and continue to work out. I loved how fast the results showed. I remained real thin until I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in 2006 and had to have my thyroid eliminated. In the year and a half that it took to get my thyroid regulated by Synthyroid, I gained 100 lbs. I let my weight set until I got pregnant with my daughter last year 2011. I realized that I would never be able to run around with her in the back yard. So, after I had her, I decided I had to make serious changes again AND for good!
My daughter is the reason I breath healthier now. She is my WORLD completely. I still have a long way to go, but it's always a work in progress.
So, anyways, Week 1 Day 1 of C25K wasn't too bad. Getting past the JIGGLE was the hardest part. I felt my saddle bags around my hips and rear really jiggling more than anything, but that's ok, because one of these days, I won't have to battle this bulge anymore.
The first week I believe starts you out on a 5 min. warm up, and 8 intervals of running for 60 seconds and walking 90 seconds and a 5 min. cool down.
Random change of subject:
I found out on Saturday that I will be in my brother's wedding in Sept. 2013 as a bridesmaid, so that means I still have 70 lbs to lose before that date. Should be cake, right???
The jiggle, oh how I remember the jiggle! It does go away, usually pretty quickly :) Keep at it!
ReplyDeleteI hate that jiggle when you run- I haven't been able to run a whole lot because I have a knee that gives me issues :( Loved hearing your story :)
