Finally feeling well enough to attempt w5d3, which is supposed to be a 2-mile run. Unfortunately I had to take a break in the middle to feed a hungry baby, but I ran more as soon as I finished, so I ended up running around 2.5 miles, just in two parts. I'm gonna count it as complete.

4/02: zumba
4/03: c25k w5d2 - 20m walk, (9m run, 5m walk) x 2, 20m walk
4/04: more zumba
4/05: nothing, I'm sick

4/07: see above
4/08: c25k w5d3 sort of - 1/4 mile walk, 1 1/2 mile run, breastfeeding break, 1 mile run, ~20 minutes walk

Hello! I hope you don't mind joining you in the middle of the challenge. I just finished the Forming new habits in 21 days thread and now I'll continue it here - a little less strict.
My april goal is to excercise 25 out of 30 days. So far I used one pause day, so it's more like 17 out of 21 days now. For excercise to count it has to last at least 20 minutes.
I have to work out the remaining 2 days of this week in order to hit my goal. For reasons beyond my control I had back-to-back off days so no room for error.
Week Two:
April 6: NROL Stage 1 workout B with cardio interval
April 7: 30 Day Shred Level 1
April 8: OFF
April 9: OFF
April 10:NROL Stage 1 workout A with cardio interval

Katie816 and RVAscreenwriter: I'm reading a new book called The Diet Fix by Yoni Freedhoff and he advocates exactly what you're doing -- starting small and re-evaluating periodically to see if you want to bump it up a bit. That's how I did it.
