A healthy start!

I finally embarked on a jogging plan! So far, I've run 3 times and I am clocking more distance. It may not be much, but for someone who hasn't been moving much, I think it is a good start! If I be hard to myself, I think I will give up more easily.

As for now, I'm not focusing so much on my weight loss, but rather how much distancxe I can cover. I'm training for my 21km, so stamina is my utmost concern now. Losing weight is a bonus, although now I try to cut down my carbo to aid a little, hee hee. Still sticking to the 3 don'ts tho, 'cept that I broke the no carbo rule. It's too difficult! I have cravings during my period and I ate more than usual! So instead of depriving myself, I decided to input a little carbo during breakfast and lunch, rather than starving myself from it. Contradicting? Yes, but I think it's the best idea for now.

Anyway, when I jogged last week, with my colleague at Yishun Stadium, I ran like 3 rounds and then I gave up and started walking.so a total of 2.4km took me 30mins. -_-|||

Then on Wed, I went jogging with Min, and we covered Yishun Park. For once, I managed to pass the 4th corner before I stopped at the main entrance and started walking back. it also took me 30 mins, but this time round, the distance was a little bit more, think I ran 2km and walked 1km. Much better than the Yishun Stadium!

And today, I ran past the big drain before I stopped! That's like running for 2.4km straight! But if it was really 2.4km NAPFA run, I will fail the test coz my timing was 18 mins. Still, it was an improvement! And I even managed to drag myself to the exercise corner and did some sit-ups.

So, in conclusion, I'm definitely improving in baby steps!
