I started lc on July 7, '03 and started exercising December 9, '03, by walking through the neighborhood during my lunch break. I finally bought the Walk Away the Pounds DVD on December 22, '03 and started doing the 1 mile walk. In January '04, I progressed up to the 2 mile walk. Then on Feb 13, '04 I finally bought a set of dumbells, 2, 3, & 5 lbs, and a set of 1.5 lb ankle weights. I've been using them to add exercises and increase my strength. I am not planning to go to a gym, but do my workouts at home. I still have a long way to go and thought I'd start a gym log for tracking. I have also been checking out books from the library to read up on the best exercises to do. I exercised at a ladies fitness center in high school, but haven't done it since. So I consider myself a novice with terminology and the right way to notate this stuff. Feel free to educate me!

I overdid it on the squats last night so am in complete misery today. No workouts for me today.

Still healing, no workout today.

Still very tender in the thighs, so only did a light workout. On WAP, heart rate only up to 110, couldn't do kickbacks at all, but could do everything else, just kept it all gentle.
