Things are going well for my mini-goals so far. This morning I did Lotte Berk Hip Hugger Abs and also walked for 45 minutes. The park that I walk at has a large loop and a smaller one. Two large loops and one small loop equal a 5K. I have been doing one large and one small. My first goal is to add another small loop and then, finally, do the whole 5K. And my far off in the future goal is to start a running program like the Couch to 5K one. Maybe sometime after the holidays.
I have always dreamed about becoming a runner. I did a few weeks of the Couch to 5K program a few years ago. I don’t remember why I didn’t stick to it. I’d like to become one of those zen runners. Whenever I do try running, it’s not zen-like at all. The closest I ever enjoyed running was when I tried the above program - probably because I was taking it slow and not killing myself. 
I have also been having fleeting thoughts about really concentrating on this eventual running goal and letting my food follow. Is it possible to teach this old dog new eating tricks via listening to her body based on fitness goals? That’s what I am hoping. I am also hoping that it’ll help me fall in to IE (intuitive eating) a bit easier, by making food decisions based on fitness goals that are important to me.
So, my next babystep fitness goal is to add that second small loop at the beginning of September.
