Hello, my name is Diana, and I kicked ass today!

That's right. You read that correctly. I'm awesome, and I did awesome things today. Like W5D2 of C25K! For those of you not up to speed on the program, or who don't feel like going to look at it elsewhere, that looked like this:

5 minute warmup walk. 8 minute run. 5 minute walk. 8 minute run. 5 minute cooldown walk.

And I DID IT!!! :D And it was fantastic! I'm not gonna lie to you - I was aftraid. I thought 8 minute runs were going to suck in a rediculous sort of way. I almost talked myself into repeating week 4 at the end of last week, because W4D3 seemed so hard to me... But Brandon, wonder boyfriend, had gone with me on that run(Evil jerk can just jump in and pretty much do just fine!), and told me that he thought I could do it, and that I didn't really need to repeat week 4, I was just afraid of week 5. I think he was right, because I've done two days of week 5 now, and they both went way, way, WAY better than I had anticipated. So glad I didn't actually repeat week 4... This feels amazing! And because of my success the last two days, I'm not as afraid of W5D3 any more! In case you aren't aware, that involves the usual warmup/cooldown, and a 20 minute run with no walking whatsoever. Which seemed rediculous and scary prior to this point, but seeing how I've done, I think I'm going to be okay!

Well guys, my plateau finally broke... In the wrong freaking direction. I pretty much expected as much, since I made some crappy choices with food while I was annoyed with being stuck. So I'm back to 245, but in a pretty good place, mentally. I'm finally making a serious point of getting back on track today, and I should get back down to and break through 244 in no time at all. Or some time. Whatever. I WILL get through it, is the point I'm trying to make!
