Day 34

Yesterday I took my day off instead of today so that I could go eat a fancy restaurant week dinner at the Capital Grille! So, today was day 34, and I ran/walked for 45 minutes, 2.3 miles.

Excuses

Ugh. I feel like all I do is make excuses. Last week was a disaster. I had training and was in charge of a baseball game, dinner, etc. We were there from 6:30 to 5 on Thursday. So, needless to say, I did not get a chance to work out last week. Yesterday I ran/walked 2.3 miles in 45 minutes, and today I did the same. So, I guess those were days 32 and 33.

31

Long day at work, got home at 7, didn't want to. BUT, I walked 1.67 miles in 32 minutes. Not great, but for today, not bad.

Day 30!

I am so proud to have made it to today! There were a few hiccups along the way, but I am on my way. I don't actually have a scale right now (its on the way!), so I don't know how many pounds I have lost, but I know that clothes are fitting better, and I notice changes in measurements. Today I ran on the treadmill 2.3 miles in 45 minutes. Tomorrow I go back to the videos (my muscle is finally feeling better. I still need work on eating better but I know that this habit I am forming will be one that is good for me in the long run.

I took pictures today to document progress, but no posting here :)

Day 29

So, after my day off on Wednesday, I was still not able to use the left side of my body for anything, so after taking off Thursday and Friday (shame on me!!), I deem today day 29. I went for a run/walk in the gym. 45 minutes of run one minute walk one minute. I think the total mileage was 2.4 miles. I will run again tomorrow and hopefully Monday I can go back to the weights and videos, this muscle better cooperate!

Day 27 & 28

Yesterday was cardio - It was hard because with my pulled muscle under my arm, I was not quite able to do the yoga, or the crunches very well. It was frustrating, but it made it to the end of the video. It will be good to have the day off today to try and stretch out that muscle.

Ooops! Days 21 - 26!

Day 21 was a day off. Wednesdays are my day off :) It was a nice milestone. I am proud of myself!

Day 22 - Sculpt - Was tired, and didn't really want to do it but I did 12 reps with the 5 lb weights.

Day 23 - Cardio - I have to make a confession, I just couldn't bring myself to do the video, so I went down to the gym and walked 2.3 miles in 45 minutes on the treadmill. I will get back to the video next week but I needed a change, but still wanted to do cardio.

Day 24 - Sculpt - This day went well - I pulled a muscle under my arm but other than that I used the 5 pound weights and did 12 reps.

Day 25 - Cardio day - I went down to the gym and ran/walked 2.3 miles in 45 minutes. I ran one minute and walked the next.

Day 26 - Today is sculpt. I also ran/walked 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. Not a great pace, but it is a start! I was able to do the dips better!

I decided to start running because I am going to a pool party for labor day weekend with some college friends in VA so I want to look good!

Days 19 and 20

Yesterday was day 19 - Sculpt. I switched weights up by two pounds in each hand and did 12 reps per exercise to be sure I wasn't too sore today. It was good, and I feel stronger!

Day 20 - Cardio - I did more of the jumps and I am working on the balance for the kicks. The only crunches I really have a problem with are the last set- full body. They are hard! I need to remember to breathe.

Tomorrow will be three weeks!
