Final Weigh In for March

God help me, it’s been awful.    I don’t know what to think at this point, except that my exercise will eventually take me a point where I begin to lose the weight.   My weight today:

274 lbs.

I knew the scale would sober me up, so I had to do something, which is good.  I got up and did began week 3 of the Couch to 5K program.  Workout 1 is:

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then do two repetitions of the following:

• Jog 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
• Walk 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
• Jog 400 yards (or 3 minutes)
• Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)

I tweaked it again by upping the distance to 2.3 miles for this week, alternating the 90 seconds and 3 minute intervals until completion.   Time was 36:40.  I’m tweaking this program because I have a 10K run scheduled for May 17th, so I have to beef up the distance.   I didn’t do any jump ropes today, because yesterday’s workout just about killed me.  Hopefully I can get in some jump roping in over the week.  I swear that is one of the best workout tools I use.

Giving blood last week through me off my eating schedule, and besides, I haven’t been keeping track of my food intake for a long while, so starting today I hope to try and keep track of carbs, calories, and number of fruits and vegetables I eat daily. I also hope to continue keeping track of my steps and to get on track with the weight training.
