Evil turned Pleasure

I'm sure everyone has said I'm going to start working out and then they do for 2 weeks, maybe even a month and then something ALWAYS comes up and they quit. Well I'm no stranger to that routine. I went to UT for 5 years where the gym membership was INCLUDED in the tuition and I still found reasons not to go (granted we didn't get the nice gym til a little later on). This New Years I made the same ole resolution, along with getting rid of clutter, and for some reason it feels GOOD.
I know, I know I'm still in the first month so it still has time to go downhill...Well maybe if YOU weren't so negative it wouldn't go downhill! How about that? (Kidding!) but seriously how about some support this go-round? It would be nice to have being saying "Good decision Stacy" instead of "You'll never stick to it".
Anyways back to what I was really trying to say. I started working out on Jan 7th officially and have been kicking butt ever since! I started easy with walking on the treadmill cause I was horribly sick but then I graduated to the elliptical and finally i got to my favorite, jogging on the treadmill. The first time I tried I ran for 7 mins then walked for 3 then ran for 5 and thought I was going to DIE! The second time I ran for 7 walked for 3 and ran for 7 (see that increase? o yea!) and since im a presistant mofo the THIRD time I ran for 10!!!!!! walked for 3 then ran another 7!
The first 10 was a whole mile! (I also increased my speed from 5.5 to 6.5)
I just kept going and it felt good. I'm finally digging this exercise thing.

Honestly, I blame my new workout pants.



Progress-to-Date: down 4lbs!

Good decision, Stacy! :-)

Keep it up. Maybe I'll get you to start working out for me. I am kinda out of shape.
