So far this week I did my treadmill twice for 45 mins each time. My knee tends to bother me every time I try to get a regual routine going.. I plan on going to a special shoe store like Fleet Feet in the next couple of weeks. I want to make sure I have some good sneakers to workout in. I'm hoping that will help solve my knee pain. I hoping its just from improper shoes. Plus being overweight.

Fitness goal for the next week is just to keep on moving. C25K didn't work out so well, my treadmill belt has an occasional hesitation in it. I didn't feel very safe on it during the running/joggin part. So I will just keep doing my Leslie Sansone DVDs and my strength training.

Fell short on my walking Saturday, Monday and Tuesday but working to get back on track.
Wednesday I did two resistance band exercises. Will do those today, too.
Yesterday I got on the treadmill. I went only 1/2 a mile, but it's the most I've walked at one time in more than a year.

My new plan is:
Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday on the treadmill.
Monday, Wednesday & Friday using resistance bands.

I don't want to push too hard at either. My goal is to work up slowly rather than push myself to the point where I never want to exercise again--which is how I've always approached exercise in the past.

I made it to the gym for the first time in many years today, and even though I feel sore I'm glad I did it! Most of my exercise so far has been walking the dog (which I'm pretty religious about), but with temps in the single digits for the foreseeable future, I have to go indoors to burn the calories.

My challenge this week was to burn 2000 calories. I have already done that and still have two more days! Next week I REALLY want to finish my weight lifting book and get that new work out going! Here's to a healthy weekend!

I plan to schedule my exercise in my work calendar for the week so that I save the time to get it done

Fitness goals again already!! Well I didn't quite make my daily goal this week, but the total minutes for the week were right on track. So this week's goal - 20 min a day x 7 or 140 minutes total in the week, whichever works out. When I do the sansone video it's 1/2 hour so even if I only get it in 5 times I will still be over goal. But I am still aiming for something every day and see if I can make it this week.

I plan to increase the cardio this week and add a total body strength training routine 3 days in the coming week.. I need to change it up a little.

Need to confess that I did not do the treadmill last week. But I did increase my walking. Now, my goal is to hit 5,000 steps a day, up from 4,000 goal last week.

Second week doing a little bit of resistance band workout. I'm starting slow and easy and, so far, I like it!

Going to start walking again this week, ready to start working towards my fitness goal of walking 5 miles/day (average) in February starting on the 1st.

Kar: Thats such a great job on walking 33 miles for the month. You must be real proud of yourself.

I finally did my treadmill twice this week so far. I plan on doing 5 times this coming week.

I plan to finally use the elliptical that has been decorating my living room. I aim for at least 20min per day for Sat and Sun.

I am going to work out 3 days this next week, and make sure I make time for at least 5 mins each day to stretch.

I just took on the challenge of starting the Insanity workout. I did the fit test today. I'm excited but also nervous at the same time.

10,000 steps today for the first time in forever!!

I am so super proud of myself!
