New Weight Watchers Program & 5k Training!

Today began a brand new Weight Watchers program called Points Plus. The program focuses on a combination of fat, protein, fiber, & carbohydrates. I am excited to see how this program will work in my own life. The leaders have already been on it for about 3 months and are seeing great results. I will keep you posted! Today I was down .6 for a total loss of 11.6 lbs. Not bad for the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend!!

Last night I headed to the gym and started my 5k training. I never thought I would run a 5k ever in my life however one of my close friends is getting married on May 21st and together with her fiance came up with the idea to run a 5k with the wedding party the day before the wedding! At first I must admit I was a little peeved at the idea and although I could have watched from the sidelines I started thinking, "Hello Casey, this is your time to hop on that treadmill and start dropping even more lbs!" So thank you my dear friends for pushing me to train for my first 5k!! Since the 5k isn't until May 20th I should be on track to run very well! Any exercise buffs with training tips? For now I just plan on adding a little bit more to speed and distance each day. I will keep you updated on how training is going!

Think healthy today!

  1. Congratulations on the new you!! I have found that it is alway good to have a goal on the calendar, like your 5k. That's what keeps me motivated. (Especially after you pay the entry fee!) Keep up the good work, I know you will do awesome. I can tell you have a wonderful attitude about the process and for me that was 90% of my success.
