Kelty FC 1.0

3.3 miles in one hour. 18:10 minute mile. No jogging today. Tested the kelty 1.0 we got today for the baby. Hubs wore it (I offered and he said he'd do it). Big kid rode his bike. Baby must have been comfortable as he fell asleep during the walk. Thinking it's a good thing the ice cream store near the turning point has closed down on our route.

Do you think he liked it?

Week 2, Day 1

The ante has been upped. This week my workouts consist of jogging 2 minutes & walking 4 minutes, 6 sets total.

Today I went 2.46 miles in 38 minutes 35 seconds. That's a 15:41 minute mile. I'm slowing down! What's the deal!?!?!?

No complaints. I'm on week 2 of working out. That's more than I've done in FOREVER. Good job me for not sitting on my bottom for 38 minutes today. Rah!

Day 7 AGAIN!

Went for a small walk with the boys after dinner. Forgot to time it so we guessed 30 minutes. It was only .83 miles. Threw the football with the big kid after that. I'm a movement MACHINE! LOL!

Day 6 & 7

Took day six off due to family plans and running out of time in the day.

Day seven I decided to work out in the morning. Not sure if this is better or worse. I went 2.02 miles for a total of 30:25. That averages out to a 15 minute 3 second mile. I'm definitely slowing down. Still not sure if that's due to going alone or because my legs are starting to feel the workouts.

No pictures today. Sorry, it's a busy morning!

Day 5

2.43 miles in 35 minutes 52 seconds.

Went solo this time. I could definitely feel that I was going slower. My shins hurt this time out. I'm not sure if it's due to skipping a day of workout OR because I've actually gotten my fat a$$ off the couch and started doing something. I'm thinking the latter.

A bit frustrated as I stepped on the scale this morning. WARNING: If you are doing this with me, don't step on a scale this early on. I'm super torked off because I GAINED! Hubs says everyone in my position would do the same. Gaining muscle will add weight. It won't be too long before I see a difference in the other direction. (This is when my friends who have recently lost weight after years of going stagnant will back him up as I'm still a doubter.)

I haven't changed much in my eating other than the obvious. No need for dessert EVERY night. I eat less than I did previously. If we go out, I try and pick something healthier.

We'll see. Gotta go, we are out of milk and it's my turn to get some. DANG!

Day 4 (aka: the day of jack squat)

Fourth day and I didn't work out. Feel a bit guilty, but, I know I need a day of rest. Walked the little kid to see the big kid at baseball practice. Before you get super impressed, it was only 1/3 mile. I'm not even logging it in. That's how lackluster it is. I know it's earlier than my workout last night, but, I don't go by myself in the dark. I just don't.

So, I'll be sitting at home tonight staring at my shoes telling myself I'll be kicking it in high gear tomorrow.

TTFN!

Day 3

kicked the feet up after the 'jog'

What a day! Big kid had his first swim lesson this morning so, no run. Niece, nephew, mom came into town for lunch, no run. Big kid had baseball game this evening, no run. Parents took all of us to Famous Dave's for dinner (salad and turkey burger for me thankyouverymuch) no run. Got home at 9:20. Went for my workout with my hubby. Thanks hubby!

It was dark, it was muggy, I had dinner almost an hour prior. I still did it! My time was even better. Still doing the jog for 1 minute and walk for 4 minutes routine. Today I totaled 2.54 miles in 34:24. Breaking it down that's a 13:32 minute mile. Not too shabby considering three days ago I averaged a 17:49 minute mile.

My legs reminded me they've not been used very much the past 10 years. I'm reminding them of what the should have been doing.

Talked with hubby about how I thought this was supposed to get easier. He reminded me that I'm just starting out. Remind me of this post in a year so I can giggle about how I'm feeling right now.

Time to tuck the kiddos into bed.
