C25K Week 2

May 14-20.  Well, week 2 definitely was harder than week 1.  I thought maybe it wouldn't be too bad since week one was not too hard at all, but it was tough.  Just goes to show how out of shape I am.  This week I helped moved my good friends 1 and 1/2 hrs away and so I got a 2 day break between day one and day 2.  Helping my friends move was an all day affair.  Loading the uhaul, packing, driving there, unpacking the uhaul, and driving back.  I am giving myself some credit in the exercise department since I felt like I was hit by said uhaul the next day. I did make myself run that next day even though I didn't want to and actually during the last run was praying for God's strength and screaming/grunting.  It was HARD.  Day 3 was hard too, but no screaming and after I was done with the actual workout I made myself walk until I hit 50 minutes.  It felt nice to do a little more.  Intervals this week: 5 min warm up, run 45 sec, walk 60 sec, run 60 sec, walk 90 sec, run 90 sec, walk 2 min and repeat for a total of 3 times, then a 5 min cool down.  Here are the pics:

day 2: rp: 10:54, wp: 17:08, a: 15:55

day 3: rp: 10:54, wp: 17:08, a: 15:25

day 3: extra 15 minute walk :)
Total of miles this week: 7.57.  Well, there was some improvement despite the dip from day one to two.  I am happy that I completed week 2 because the furthest I have made it on this before is the beginning of week 2.  Yay! I will say I have been going a little longer than the work out says because I feel like I can. I mainly walk, but like to add at least one run in there for a minute. So, its not a lot, but something.  :)  i also didn't do too much strength training.  I think I tried to do some of the things I found on pinterest a couple of days, but never kept its momentum. 

On the weight loss front I only lost .6 pounds.  :(  I was really sad. I started when I started running and weight in on Mondays, so it is going to post a week behind I think.  I decided to kinda do the old weight watchers again.  I can't afford to do the new points plus and I have the info for the old one so that is what I am going by.  I say roughly because sometimes I don't write down points.  I think that is maybe why I only lost .6lbs.  I keep telling myself I didn't gain or stay the same so that is something.  :)
