Week 7 of Couch 2 5 K!

Today I start week 7 of Couch to 5 K! I am able to run 25 minutes now! I never thought I'd be able to run for a long period of time again, so I'm very happy, and I actually look forward to running now. I weigh 165, so I've lost four pounds so far.

Ever read the book, Skinny Bitch? It's so great and informative! The authors promote a vegan lifestyle and so much more. I've decided to become a vegetarian and my goal is to become vegan eventually (I can't give up cheese just yet!). After reading that book and doing more research, I think it's definitely a healthy option for me. In addition to not eating meat for the past few weeks, I haven't been drinking milk or eggs either (except when they are in ingredients). I can't wait to start trying new recipes. I feel a lot better not eating meat and have more energy and feel happier in general! It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

I have only been keeping track of how long I run instead of distance, so today I want to time my mile.
