This month challenge is to get 4 days of at least 45 minutes of cardio in a week.

Find 3 new recipes to try this month, make sure they are under 400 calories and full of healthy items.

I will still do a weekly check in and you of course can join me!

So I gained weight this past week. It’s sad but not surprising I didn’t get my walks in like I wanted to, though I did get walks in, but not all at once. I walked the minutes required in spurts. I have a new challenge I’m going to start and it will be a monthly one until the end of the year. Look for that post tomorrow!

My weight this week: 267

Next weeks goal 265

I’m going to do the measurements next week, I cant find my tape measure!

This week I only got 4 of my walks in again. This time I stayed out too late and was just worn out. It’s okay though I know I’m at least getting out there most of the time. How are you doing? Hopefully well.

This weeks challenge is:

Continue doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week.

15 minutes of strength training 3 times this week. (look at upping the weight you use)

10 minutes of deep breathing 5 times a week

I didn’t get all the walking I wanted to get done this past week, but it’s paying off. I reached my goal of 266 for the week and I’m so happy. I’m heading back out today for another relaxing walk and maybe next week I’ll make the next goal. Eventually I hope to start running, but we will see.

My weight this week: 266

Next weeks goal 264

This week I did not get everything done. I only got 2 days of weight lifting in along with only 4 days of walking. It’s not bad at all and considering it wasn’t done out of me just being lazy I’m happy. One problem was rain, I hate doing anything in the rain, but on top of that I just have not been feeling well. I’m surprised I managed to get what I got done. I did manage to add one more good thing to my diet plan, more veggies and protean. As a diabetic I have been concentrating on carbs way too much.

I’ve learned from this week so I am going to change things a little.

This weeks challenge is:

Continue doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week.

15 minutes of strength training 4 times this week.

Subtract something unhealthy from your diet.

I’m going to try to just keep walking, it relaxes me, but I know when there is rain I need to get up and do something so that is where the other cardio option comes in. I’m also going to work on staying away from cake. We got an ice cream cake for mothers day and I kept sneaking little bites from it.

How did you do this week?

I have found out something very important this week, when you are sick do not try to exercize I made myself sick yesterday and today from trying to get my workouts in. The sad part is I won’t make this weeks goal, but at least I’m close. If only it had not rained all week!

The good news is on my last walk I did make it farther then I have so far. I love doing this and having this fitness push is a lot of fun. I’m finding walking relaxing and addictive. What do you like about exercise.

Holly on May 10th, 2010

This week I worked hard, walked five days out of the week for at least 30 minutes a day and I lost….. Nothing. Yes, nothing. I’m still at the same weight as last week. There is good news though, I walked today and I made it farther then last week in the same amount of time. That is what my goal is, eventually I want to walk/run at least 2 miles in 30 minutes then I’ll change the goal from there.

My weight this week: 268

Next weeks goal 266

I have to say I’m pretty dang proud of myself. I got my 30 minutes 5 times this week and I’m feeling so much better. I also cut out pop and started drinking tea instead. I don’t know if I lost anything and wont until Monday, but I feel better and thats what matters.

This weeks challenge is to continue last weeks challenge and do the following

30 minutes of strength training 3 times this week.

Add another healthy option to your meals, this can be a salad or more veggies as a side dish.

Yes, I have walked at least 30 minutes twice now. I’m proud of myself and plan to keep going. I feel so much better already and the dog sure seems to love it. We just got back from our walk and she laying next me looking at me with a “I’m so tired” look.

I am extremely proud of myself as I walked a lot farther today then I did yesterday. I think I got a little more then a mile in, but I’m not totally sure, I think I need to get a device that will tell me how far I walk. It would be nice. Are you joining me? How are you doing?
