Yes, today is Wednesday and I am 2 days late for my Monday update. I've been pretty busy around here and both of the kids got sick, so I have been a little lax, to say the least. The results of Monday's date with the scale was that I was up .2 lbs. I know its not much, but it was definitely in the wrong direction. The put me at 31.4 lbs lost total.
As far as the exercise, I am trying to get back on track. I walked last night -- and about halfway into the walk it started to rain, so I got pretty soaked by the time I was done. I don't mind the rain, as long as there is no thunder or lightning to go with it. I also walked tonight. Last night I did my "Couch to 5K" walking/jogging program, and I was going to do it again tonight, however, as I started out on my walk, my cell phone rang and it was my dad, so I talked to him for most of the walk. I did do some jogging tonight, and I jogged about 4/10 of a mile straight. I was pretty happy, because the last time I tried I think I got about 2/10 of a mile and I was beat. Last night, I followed the program, which for the week I am on, Week 2 of the program, consists of a 5 minute warm up walk, followed by intervals of 90 seconds of jogging and 2 minutes of walking. That continues for 20 minutes, and then I cool down. I plan on trying to get in the walk/jog program around 5-6 days a week. I'm also trying to start up doing Yoga again. I really love the exercises because I hardly feel as if I am working hard, but I really am working hard, and I feel it the next day. I just love that it doesn't feel like work. I'm not sure if I will be incorporating anything else at this point, but this is the plan for now. Always subject to change =) I am still counting the miles I walk/jog from the Couch to 5K program into the 500 mile goal I set for myself, even if I don't make it by Vegas (since I've been slacking, I won't be meeting that goal unless I did 11 miles a day until my trip), I am still going to finish that goal.
Ok, thats all the updating I think I have for the moment. I think I'm going to end this blog because I have a funny feeling I am blabbing and making no sense or coherent statements. I'm apparently catching whatever it was that Nate and Grace have, and I am feeling pretty miserable at the moment, on top of being really tired. So, goodnight. Perhaps I will make more sense next time.
