Today so far

Jogged/Walked around the track 3 times

Walked around 2 times

I am sooooooooooo pleased with this morning's session. For once I did not feel like I was gonna die!! I know now from a friend that the trick to jogging when you are heavy is too breathe in through your nose and out through your nose. A friend told me that I was struggling so much because I was trying to follow the scientists and breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth. He said I was losing all my energy like that. So I tried it his was this morning and it worked. I really had a good jog this morning. I will go again tomorrow. At least I didn't leave and feel like I am never going back. I left and felt as if I can make it another day.

[amsears777]

My laps have been 24

3 miles each session

I am getting there

However the more weights I am lifting and walks I am doing the scale is refusing to budge!!

Its kind getting to me but I am on task

[amsears777]

Since I am in this thing for the long haul I have incorporated a new exercise plan in along with my new way of eating. This program focuses on weight training and cardio with on and off schedule. So basically I will workout every other day instead of everyday. My schedule will sort of look like this and if I have to change it periodically I will:

Monday- Cardio, Arm and Abs

Tues- Off

Wed Cardio-Legs and Abs

Thursday Off

Friday- Cardio and Full body workout

Saturday- Cardio and Abs

This should give my body a chance to heal after weight exercises. I have to be a little more dilligent as to the amount of time I am allowing to pass before eating also. Plus I need to make sure that I am eating no later than 45 mins after my workout.

I have also retired my scale for 10 Weeks because they said with this program women are only supposed to lose 5lbs during the whole 10 weeks!! So since I don't want to become discouraged I will not be weighing in until 10 weeks are over. Also the weight loss is supposed to increase after the 10 weeks are over. So this is week 1. Wish me luck!!

I also have added the following supplements to diet and exercise program

L- Carnitine
Co Q 10
Chromium Picolinate
