A beautiful Saturday. A little bit of rain early but looking pretty now!
I continued with my running and weight lifting this week. The running was all the same:
5 minute quick walk
90 seconds jog (6 times)
2 minutes walk (5 times)
5 minute cool down
Monday went well with the run. I was unable to run Wednesday since I had to take Leah to the doctor. Glad we did it though!
I did go running Thursday and worked out. The run went extremely well. I guess I am getting used to the feeling. I had a small pain in my upper left thigh during the warm up, but it was gone by the time I started jogging.
The workouts went well, though I was very tired after running.
My plans were to run Saturday morning after running Thursday, but I woke up with some stomach pains. A little Pepto-Bismol seems to have quelled the problem.
RESULTS:
Down 2 pounds to 294. I need to increase my activities!
I did not keep track of my eating. I just didn't take the time to do it. I need some accountability.

After Week 1
So far we are off to a good start!
EVERY DAY - I ride my bike from my apartment to either Plaster Sports Complex or Ellis Hall on campus (distance of about 1.2 miles each day) and back.
MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY - At the Plaster Sports Complex - Walk five minutes, then alternating running one minute, walking 90 seconds, for a total of nine minutes of running and twelve minutes of walking, with a five minute cool down.
TUESDAY, THURSDAY - At the weight room - The Abs Diet Circuit!
Bench press
Squats
Leg curl
Leg extension
Lunging step ups
Dumb bell flys
Biceps curl
Triceps extension
Upright row
Military press
Lat pulldown
On Friday, Leah and I took a dip in the pool where I swam a few laps. It was quite relaxing for my sore joints!
RESULTS:
I realize that you can't just drop all the weight at once, that muscle weighs more than fat, that when you first start that you will probably gain a little weight until the muscle growth outbalances the fat... But when I got on the scale on Saturday, I found that I had lost 0.2 pounds since last Saturday. A little disheartening I admit, especially after all the hard work.
I think the biggest problem would be the eating. There's nothing wrong with eating as long as it's in moderation and you're eating the right things. Starting this week, I'm going to keep track of what I'm eating every day. We'll see if we can get some Biggest Loser results this week!

SMART Goals
Starting Monday, June 14th, I will begin a HOBY plan of SMART Goals. SMART Goals refer to the following acronym:
S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Action-oriented
R - Realistic
T - Time-based
The following statement is based on the acronym listed.
I will weigh 225 pounds on May 1st, 2011. I will be able to measure my success by losing an average of six pounds a month. I plan to achieve this goal by using the following work out formula:
Monday - Couch to 5k running program with a bike ride to school and back.
Tuesday - Aerobics exercise accompanied with weight training and bike ride to school and back.
Wednesday - Couch to 5k running program and bike ride to school and back.
Thursday - Aerobics exercise accompanied with weight training and bike ride to school and back.
Friday - Couch to 5k running program and Wii yoga training
Saturday - Swimming and/ or interval training.
Since several people have lost more than two hundred pounds within six months, I feel that losing less than half of that over twice the time is realistic.
Let's pray this works this time.
