Day 36, February 5, 2010
Weight: 140.3
Loss from Last week: 1.9lbs
Total Weight Lost: 10.4
Woot! Back on track. This week, I stepped up the exercise a little by doing the interval training between jogging and walking that I found in a book that Koa gave me, "How to do Anything", specifically, "Training to run long distance". It's an 8-week schedule that slowly increases the intensity each week until you can jog for 30 minutes straight. Not a bad goal at all, and it's nothing too crazy. I definitely am sweating more than the walking program I was doing, but I'm not killing myself to the point that I'm sore the next day.
The intervals this week were:
5 Minute warm-up at 3.0mph
1.5 Minutes at 3.5mph
1 Minute at 4.5mph
Repeat 8x, followed by a 5 Minute cool-down.
I exercised everyday this week expect for last night since we didn't get home until 9:30 because of home group, but I plan on doing a little extra tonight and Saturday to create a "reserve" in order to accommodate for this Sunday's festivities. On Monday, I'll start the next set, which should be slightly more difficult and longer in length.
By next week, I should be officially in the 130's. I cannot wait! I think that those will be the toughest 10lbs to loose since the first couple have been pretty easy, but we'll see! As soon as the scale reads, "13x", I'll take a picture, literally!
Until then...
