Why did I just now find this thread?!?!?!?!?!

I am soooooo joining. This is all the motivation I need.

Over the past 6 or so months I have lost 20 lbs by changing my eating (more fruits and veggies, less ice cream) but I really want to get to working out more. I HATE gyms but luckily my apartment complex has a fitness room that has new treadmills and is almost amways empty so I have resolved to use that space as often as I can.

Last year my sister introduced me to the "Couch to 5K Running Plan" and I just laughed. I could never imagine myself running again (I used to be athletic when I was younger). So I shelved that idea.

This morning I decided that today was going to be "the first day of the rest of my life" and found the motivation from somewhere to get on a treadmill. Let me say that I amazed myself. Never thought I could run for 3 straight minutes on a treadmill and it felt so damn good!!!

So yeah, now I am all motivated again, especially after the 20 lbs drop and realizing I can hold my own against the treadmill. And I think I am going to follow the couch to 5k plan. Seems doable enough for me.

I do need to go out and get a scale this weekend though :)
