Todays weight: 207lbs. Yay! I must be doing something right....that's a 3lb loss in a week.
I started training for a 5K. It's Kay's idea and I'm going along with her. WE are training for a 5K. The exact 5K I'm thinking about it the Whitmore Lake July 4th 5K. Kay found a training program for us to follow. I did my first session last night. We start out with a brisk 5 minute walk to get warmed up, then run for 60 seconds, walk 90 seconds, run 60 seconds, walk 90 seconds and so on for 20 minutes. We do that 3 days a week the first week. Each week adds a little more running time. I think it takes 11 weeks to get up to the full 5K running. I will also continue my Biggest Loser Wii and Wii Fit and Kay is going to join me at the gym Tuesdays and Thursdays and maybe one weekend day.
This journey is better now that I have a friend joining me. I'll have to dig up an old picture of us from the high school track team days. Hmmmm.....I'll have to really dig for that.
Having a work-out buddy is definitely more motivating! And now I am really public w/my idea of training for a 5K! I'm training - running it is a whole different story! That is a very scary commitment!!! Bill wants to do some 5K's too .. although for him the precise word is: again - he used to compete all the time pre-Kay. He's a runner. I've got him working out again too! Aren't we motivating people lately : )
ReplyDeleteKeep it up! I plan on going to the gym on Thurs!
I'm SO proud of you Sweetpea! I had to make a "special trip" to get to your blog. I didn't see any of your posts except for the first one, and I wondered if you were too busy to post, but now I see that you have been posting! For some strange reason (tech glitch), your posts are not showing up on my list of blogs that I follow along with the others. Hmmm....well, I'll just keep checking back here anyway then. And Hi to Kay...way to go girls! I'm cheering for both of you! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Ann. I'm really happy that you are following my blog. By the time you see me in the Spring, I'll be a couple sizes smaller.
