This isn't just a "wagon" anymore.....

Since the last time I have updated, I have lost 20 pounds and have been (if I do say so) kicking butt at the gym! I go at least three days a week and that has been since I started there on March 17. I wanted to work up to being able to do the Couch to 5K program which I wasn't able to do cause - as I had ALWAYS said "I don't DO running".... so I figured I ought to be able to run for a minute and then work up to phase one. This website shows more info for each phase. On April 3, I ran my first minute and felt like Rocky! Since then, I have done one minute runs up to four times. Yesterday, I fell at work and my ankle completely folded in half and I was so scared because I was going to start the actual program today. I iced it and put it up and it was good to go today. I went to the gym and did the first step for week one. I felt amazing!!! I got sideswiped by three dogs today at the dogpark and fell and hurt my ankle again! I think it's not so great this time, and I am so bummed that I can't do the workout again tomorrow.... I will take it easy, but I am still going to the gym... This is how I know it's not just a fad with me anymore. I look foreward to going to the gym now and that is a huge change from what used to be! I go to World Gym if anyone is looking for a workout partner!! I will post a pic soon. I am at my lowest today!! YAY!
