Today was 2 weights segments - upper and lower body. They are easier than the cardio but still a good workout. Even though its only about 20 minutes total I still feel sore.

I decided to just do the DVD this week and follow it religiously.

So Monday was 2 10 minute cardio segments -they are hard and I really sweat doing them. It shows how out of shape I am.

It always feels good to get "out" running on the treadmill. I did 2 min run/2 min walk with a total of 34 minutes. I felt so good I did 5 min straight at the end and then a cool down.

The eating this week has been okay - a little cheat last night with a chocolate dipped cone at Arctic Circle. At least I didn't get a shake.

I did 2 segments of the BL DVD - one cardio and lower body workout. And then my friend Desiree came over to try it out and we did another cardio segment. They may be only 10 minute segments but they are killer.

Week 2 of following the running schedule.

38 min total with 5 min warm-up, 2 min run/2 min walk, followed by 4 min cool down.

Felt good most of the run but towards the very end felt a little sick to my stomach.

The most encouraging thing was I got the scale this morning for the first time in a week and was down by 2.5 pounds! Yeah! And that was after having choc cake and ice cream twice over the weekend. The first time was worth it - at a dinner party and so yummy. The 2nd time wasn't worth the calories - at a scout function with store bought cake that wasn't that good. That will teach me to be more careful what I choose to cheat with.

Read a book all morning so was very late getting to my exercise - after lunch.

Did 10 minute cardio and 10 min ab workouts from BL DVD. The twins did it with me and did a great job. IT was really cute.

Just from those short segments I've been sore.

Yesterday was super busy and I didn't get in any exercise but did great on my eating.

Today was 28 minutes on the treadmill with 5 min warm-up and cool down and then 1 min run/2 min walk.

I also did yesterday's video segment from the biggest loser DVD I'm following. It was a 10 minute upper body workout. It was easy but I know its going to get harder.

Started a 30 day program on a DVD from the Biggest Loser show. It starts out pretty easy and gets harder each day. Today was just a ten minute cardio but it was a killer 10 minutes.

Back on the treadmill - first time since Thanksgiving of 2009!

I'm going to follow the same marathon training schedule I"ve done before, although this time I'm going to do the 1/2 marathon schedule.

Did the mileage in 35 minutes with a run/walk of 1 min run/2 min walk with 5 min warm up and cool down.
