Week one is over and I must say – I did pretty well. The first week of WW is generally pretty successful and people generally experience a big loss but it will level out at about 1-2lbs a week from there. So although I lost 4.4lbs, I need to stay focused and not get too excited. At our meeting this week, we talked about the Weight Watchers “Walk-It” challenge and I got excited right away. All you have to do is sign up on this website, find a 5k happening between June and August, register and enter your race and confirmation number on the website and then you receive a training program and 6 months of Weight Watchers Magazine!! Why wouldn’t you sign up? So I did and my husband signed up for the 5k with me so we’re going to do it! I really can’t wait. I used to run track in high school and I know I can run a mile straight but I’m not so sure about 3.1 miles – I’m going to have to work my butt off to be able to confidently run that. I don’t want to win anything… I just want to finish strong Although Weight Watchers teamed up with active.com to provide the training program for the 5k, I think I am going to use my Nike+ training program on my ipod nano.

We’ll see what happens – I have been having some major heel problems with my left foot. I did some research and self-diagnosed myself with Plantar Fasciitis. I purchased some high-impact heel support inserts and a plantar fasciitis night brace which I have been using regularly so I hope that it helps.  If not, I might need to suck it up and see a doctor – aaaaaand stretch 12 times a day.  awesome.  Wish me luck!
