    Day 8- Tuesday
    My legs were sore from the walking/ jogging because someone didn't stretch after:grumble:

    1. What: medium paced walking
    2. Duration: 30 minutes
    3. Calories: probably 100 or so
    4. How I felt: good. It was as nice stretch for my legs anyway.

    Today is a barbecue at the beach and my brother is coming so I bet will will run around and play frisbee. If not I will be going to the gym tonight! Good work guys! I am feeling much better about myself and feel that even on the days I don't drip the sweat I can still be active.

    Day 9 (Thursday 6/2)
    30 mins C25K W2D2; 340 calories burned (based on last W2D1 workout as I forgot my HRM it's the same workout and I finished it quicker so hopefully it is close enough); felt slow at first and then ok for the last few runs -- turns out I beat my average time by 2 mins!
    30 mins fast walk; 220 calories again estimated based on prior similar workouts as I forgot my HRM; I felt great

    Day # 7

    1) What I did for exercise - wii fit

    2) Duration - 57
    3) Calories burned - 343

    4) How I felt - I was pretty entertained because i havent used my wii fit in a long time. I was super energized so i did pretty well i was surprised i did 57 mins!




    Day # 8

    1) What I did for exercise - Soccer

    2) Duration - 60 mins

    3) Calories burned - 586

    4) How I felt - OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! this was incredibly hard! i havent played anything similar to soccer in years not since i broke my ankle over 10 years ago. I am extremely sore and i was completely drenched in sweat from head to toe... It was still fun though because i played with my bro and my husband. It was funny as well because i am so uncoordinated!



    Day # 9

    1) What I did for exercise - Wii fit

    2) Duration - 50 mins

    3) Calories burned - 266

    4) How I felt - Today suxed butt! sorry if anyone finds that offensive.... I could not motivate myself to exercise... when i finally managed to start i had to pick up my husband from work. Thankfully he kicked my butt, literally, into exercising. He has a way of coaxing me into exercising. once i got started i kept going but the free run on the wii fit was hard today... it took everything i had to make it thru jus ten mins so i didnt burn as many cals today cuz i was trudging along but after all is said n done I DID IT!!!! :drinker:

    2) Duration - 35 minutes

    3) Calories burned - 163
