Well, the C25k program has been successful at kicking my ass. I have been able to keep my motivation thus far. Monday was just, like, wow... yesterday wasn't as bad. I remembered to STRETCH before I started my trek. I walked 2.6 miles in less than an hour and that made me happy. I wasn't trying to kill myself but was trying to complete my route in less than 60 minutes. I found this great app for my phone called Endomondo. You turn it on and it tracks your time, speed and distance... by GPS. How cool is that? According to them, I burned an ass ton of calories which also made me happy.
I've decided that 3 times per week is good enough for now. On www.myfitnesspal.com, My weekly exercise goals are as follows:
Minutes of exercise: 180 - I've completed 144 already this week. So another 36 and I'm done for the week!!
Calories burned: 1710 - I've burned 1562. Another 148 calories and I've completed that. I'm going to blow it out of the water!!
My calorie consumption can be no greater than 1840 per day and that's to lose around a pound per week. Again, between coming in under calorie consumption and exercise, I will blow this weight out of the water. I love this tool. Helps me stay accountable for everything I consume, food and drink.
Off to work to burn some more calories!!
