Yesterday

10 Laps (Leg weights) 5:30am

60 situps

Hand weights 5lbs curls 40 reps

Today 5am walk

About 11 laps (50 minutes total) It was raining today!! Definitely need to invest in rain gear.

Hand weights 5lbs maybe 50 or so different combinations so far.

35.8

Had my 4:30 am walk today it was very good. Just got my new MP3 player and downloaded some of my most favorite music!! It was awesome. I may go again this evening.

12 Laps

8 Laps = 1 mile

86 days left till goal
-------------------------
Evening walk 16 Laps= 2 miles Personal best!!

About 5 laps too cold wasn't properly dressed won't happen again!!

5:30 am walk 16 Laps Hooray!!

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

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

Take care

Also I need to ignore the scale so I can stay focused !!

Wish me luck!!
