Sat Oct 27

Walked to work all week (4.6k)
Wed walked to work and then walked to the mall ( 3.8k)
Yesterday, walked to work and then to an appt (another 3.2 k)
Grand total for the week...
30 K Wow!!

Tues 23rd

Weigh in day.
I thought I would have gained, because its that time of the month and I was sure I read somewhere that you typically gain 5lbs.. but....
196.5.. which means I am down 15.5 lbs

I walked home from work yesterday, which was 4.8k.
I will not be jogging today, its pouring rain. But I will walk to work.

Feeling crap

I did not run today. I was feeling awful. My head was pounding, I felt nautious and I was SO cold. So I took the day off of jogging. I felt a bit better after work, so I did 3 min on eliptical, 2 reps of 25 *sit ups* with the Ab swing

Then I took a 30 min walk with the dog.

Oct 16 - Weekly weigh in

Today is weigh in day. I was pretty happy when I stepped on the scale.... 201.5!
I am down 4 lbs from last week :)
15 min speed walk to warm up
90 sec jogging 2 min walking - for total of 25 min, 5 min cool down and then stretch

It was COLD this morning!!

We were out for our jog by 8:45am and it was cold. It was 3* c when we left.
5 min warm up, 15 min jog program 5 min cool down
stetches
45 min power walk with dog
3 min eliptical

I think we are getting a little quicker in our jog. We can usually tell by where we are lap wise. It is exactly 5 min warm up to get to the park where we jog. I was feeling a big laggy this morning, so I don't know if it was the cold  or what. I was fine once we got started, but felt like I was dragging a bit. Hopefully tomorrow is better :)

Week 2 - Oct 9

We took measurements today. I am not happy, but this will be good motivation. Along with that full length mirror I saw myself in last night. I know I can do this!

We took two measurements *gulp* here goes..
Chest- above boobs, arms down - 41 3/4  =  42 1/2
 across chest - 46 1/4   = 47
below bra- 38 1/4  = 38 1/2
Waist - 41 1/2  = 41
Hips- 46 1/4  =  47
Thighs- R 26 1/4  = 25 3/4      L- 27  =  26 1/4
Biceps- R- 14  =  13.5    L- 14  =  14
Neck- 16 1/4  =  16 1/4

Now to get on the scale... I started off at 212 lbs...
205.5

EDITED to add in daily exercise-
Daily jog - 5 min warm up, 20 min jog program (week 1) 5 min cool down
3 min eliptical
45 min power walk with dog.

I thought it might be harder, but it was actually pretty good! We seemed to be doing the laps faster.
I feel good. A bit sore, but good.
