This Busy Bee’s Workouts: Week 3
This week I completed week 3 of the Couch to 5K program. I just peeked ahead at week 4 and it’s about to get REAL. This heat wave we are currently having isn’t doing me any favors either, but I did notice a lot more energy in the evenings. I started taking the kids for a walk after dinner and they love that. I am really excited for the coming weeks!
I have had a couple of questions about my diet, so I figured I would address that here. I am not ‘dieting’, but a couple of months ago I stopped drinking artificially sweetened iced tea and switched to water. Another thing I am doing is trying to up my veggies and fruit intake. These are simple things I can do, that don’t leave me feeling deprived or like I need to eat everything in my fridge at 8pm
My phone broke and I went 2 days without a cell phone, so I moved my runs around because I wasn’t comfortable running without a phone. So that is why a couple of my runs are back to back when I usually stagger them. Here is what my week looked like:
One big difference coming up this week in my workouts is, I feel ready to up my strength training from the couch potato 5 minute plan I have been doing the past few weeks, to full body weight strength training on Wii fit. I will do this on alternate days from my runs.
For those of you that have completed the couch to 5K program: What did you do after? Did you become a regular runner? Move on the a different exercise? The program I am doing is 8 weeks so I am nearly halfway through it and trying to decide what to tackle next!
