Week 3: Workout #2 and Weigh-In

Oh man, I fell off the wagon in a big way last week.

After my disastrous workout attempt on Wednesday, I didn’t muster up the energy to go to the gym until late last night. While I was able to put in a decent session on the treadmill, I didn’t do any lifting. And I didn’t stretch beforehand (I know, I know), so my leg muscles were pretty tight and sore after I finished. At least I went, though…truth be told, I was *thisclose* to not bothering. Ugh, that needs to stop.

Anyway, here’s last night’s workout summary:

• 5 minute warm-up walk
• 20 minutes on the treadmill, alternating walking and jogging
• 5-minute cool-down walk

I also had my weekly weigh-in last night. No difference, but at least I didn’t gain weight.

Today starts a new week, and I’m hoping that I’m able to find more motivation this week. I likely won’t be able to get to the gym tonight because I have an audition after work, but hopefully I’ll be able to get my butt out of bed semi-early tomorrow morning and get my run in.

The good news is that I think I’m finally ready to progress to Week 2 of the C25K program. The Week 1 jogging segments have been easier the last couple of times I’ve been to the gym, and I’ve been able to run faster, too. So starting this week, I’ll be alternating 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes per session.
