Week 1

Saturday, Exercise 1: Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Today went pretty well for the first day. I had to slow my jog to about turtle speed a few times and had to stop completely once to catch my breath. I was able to do the full 20 minutes plus warm up and cool down walk. I think I went about 2 miles. From my house to the park around the park twice and back home. I feel really soar now but I can't wait for exercise 2. I'm not going to weigh or measure myself until next week b/c I feel I'm putting to much pressure on that. I'm going to try to focus on the task at hand.


Sunday - 6 mile bike ride on the Ray Roberts Greenbelt Trail. Felt pretty good. I did get tired on the last mile. Hopefully I can conquer the whole thing pretty soon.

Monday, Exercise 2: Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Today went better than Sat's jog. I was able to jog the whole time I was suppose to and didn't take any breaks. I'm feeling pretty tired at this point but I hear you gain energy in the long run.

Tuesday, Day of rest

Wednesday, Exercise 3: Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Today I did the reps in a gym. With all this rain we have been having I thought it would be a good idea to plan on the exercise today inside. It is a lot different. The elements aren't a factor. I don't think I worked as hard as I do outside.

Thursday, Walked outside for an hour

Thought maybe it would be a good idea to do something. 

Friday, Walked outside for an hour

After stuffing my face at a work lunch I needed something. Strangely a few hours later and I'm feeling a little worn down. I'm having a hard time getting off the couch

I can't wait for next weeks workout. We are taking it up a notch with more jogging. I haven't so much as lost a pound or inch but I am feeling better.
