I did it!! As I said in my last entry, last Friday I jogged for 10 minutes without stopping. When my husband called that night I told him and he was really proud of me but then said "why did you stop?". I didn't have an answer! I just stopped cause I was only trying to reach 10 minutes.
Yesterday I jogged for 20 minutes without stopping!!! It was so easy too! I'm so happy because I've never been able to jog for that long! I love that I've found a strategy to keep my mind occupied so I don't keep looking at the clock - I just count. If I count to 500, that's 10 minutes. If I count to 1000, that's 20 minutes. Well, 21 minutes to be exact!
It was also another goal achieved - one of my short term goals is to exercise for 30 minutes 5 times a week. That jog was my 5th lot of exercise for the week. Yay!!
I can't wait to hop on those scales tomorrow morning! Lets see how much all my work has paid off...
