So far we are off to a good start!

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.

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!
