I have not been doing any running after graduating. No running at all!
I have been fighting a bad cold for two weeks now and I've been terribly busy at work and in the rest of my personal life. And for the next few weeks to come, it doesn't look like I can squeeze it in at all. Plus it's starting to get chilly up here. I am absolutely broke for the next few months, so no money to spend on decent running clothes.
So it looks like I'm going to have restart C25K all over again when it is all over. I'm not happy with how it has been going, but I keep telling myself I at least graduated it once and that there is hope for me for the future.
I wish I could have written that everything rocks and I'm going strong. But hey I need to prioritize and right now getting my life in order is higher up on the list than losing a few pounds.

New me - additional thought
Could it just be that this weight is my body's happy weight? I have always been padded (I'm not even considered chubby) and have never been lighter than this after puberty.
New me
So today I was thinking about the differences between the old and the new me.
Even though I went from no exercise to running three times a week and staying on the healthy diet I've had for years now, I have not lost a single pound. I even gained three pounds.
It's something I'm not really happy about, since I started the running experiment to lose those last few pounds around the thighes and ass. I'm not overweight, my BMI is considered 'normal', though in the higher range, but I really want to get rid of the 'jiggly' bits.
So far no good.
I still mostly look the same, my posture is slightly better and I swear my tummy is slightly flatter. But my legs. Some big sighs of frustration there. They're the same, they just look a little bigger even because I've developed muscles underneath the jiggly stuff.
It makes me miserable to not see any progress there (even though I've probably made some).
Other than that, I physically feel better. I feel better about myself and about my body. Hey at least now I have the excuse of "well I DO run 15 km a week!" I radiate more confidence. I feel sexier.
But it is still frustrating that I have only gotten heavier.
