----------------My Fitness Challenge for January----------------
Goals For January I quickly figured out I can't do hardly any of the exercises I had planned to because I'm way too big & out of shape... So as of now (January 19th '09) I'm re-vamping my workout schedule for the rest of the month. My plan is to do the 30DS warm up & circuit 1 of level 1 each day for the next 6 days, and then the warm up & first two circuits of level 1 for the last week of the month. Also for the rest of the month, I will do a 30 minute walk in the halls of work on each of the 4 nights a week that I work. If I do this, I will do another 386 minutes of exercise this month. I have updated my ticker with this information. Starting fresh!
8-10 pound weight loss
One on each day I do well....
Week 4 weigh in: 242 1.18 Nada again. 1.19 Out of town 1.20 Out of town 1.21 Sick 1.22 Nothing 1.23 Nada 1.24 Again, nothing
Week 5 weigh in: 242 1.25 Nothing 1.26 Nothing 1.27 Nothing 1.28 Hey! Wouldn't you know I actually did something today! 1 hour of walking! 1.29 1 hour of walking 1.30 1 hour of walking 1.31 1 hour of walking
Well it was a race to the finish line. I got close...

-------------My Fitness Challenge for January-------------
I quickly figured out I can't do hardly any of the exercises I had planned to because I'm way too big & out of shape... So as of now (January 19th '09) I'm re-vamping my workout schedule for the rest of the month. My plan is to do the 30DS warm up & circuit 1 of level 1 each day for the next 6 days, and then the warm up & first two circuits of level 1 for the last week of the month. Also for the rest of the month, I will do a 30 minute walk in the halls of work on each of the 4 nights a week that I work. If I do this, I will do another 386 minutes of exercise this month. I have updated my ticker with this information. Starting fresh!
8-10 pound weight loss
on each day I do well....
