Winning is slow and steady - and I hate to exercise

I finished week 2 day 1 of the Couch to 5k program today. I am doing the training on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I started last Tuesday on the treadmill at work, going at a rate of 2 mph during the run and completed 0.9 miles at the end of the exercise. I started slow because I had a fear of the treadmill. Saturday, I did the entire course at 2.8 mph and finished 1.42 miles and burned 123 calories.  That means I ran for 7 minutes of the course, 21 minutes total for the week.  Today, I only got up to 2.7 mph, but ran all 9 minutes during the session and finished 1.43 miles and 124 calories. I have a long way to go to be able to finish a 5k in 30 minutes, but I am 30 minutes of running farther than I was this time last week. 

Confession moment: I hate exercising. I do not enjoy sweating, breathing heavy, or the aches that accompany the exercise. I do not wish to be a size 12 (fluctuating between sizes 8 and 16 depending on the way the wind blows). But I do not want to work at NOT being a size 12+. Today, I almost quit. I almost gave up, and at the very least, I almost did the course at a speed I was "comfortable" with. Today, I struggled mentally between hating the exercise and not wanting to be a quitter. Today, I did not give up. So, today I won.
