Week 2
Today started off week 2 of my training. It was quite a jump up from last week. Here is the workout for this week.
4 to 6 days per week) Start with a 5 minute warm up walk, then alternate walking & jogging and walk only half the distance of each jog, as follows:
Jog 1/4 mile (1 lap) then
Walk 1/8 mile (half lap)
Jog 1/2 mile (2 laps)
Walk 1/4 mile (1 lap)
Jog 1/4 mile (1 lap)
Walk 1/8 mile (half-lap)
Jog 1/2 mile (2 laps)
go home
Total 2 Miles
Quite the jump from the 1/8 mile walk/jog for 1 mile of last week. Now I'm jogging 2 laps. It was all good. I was a bit tired, but I missed a day of working out last week, so I essentially had 3 days off and then had a late dinner that did not sit well this morning.
After I got back from the run, I took Ema the dog out for a 1.5 mile walk. Then on my lunch break I went and played a little disc golf with Tato (not a strenuous workout, but can work up a little sweat.)
As for the weigh in, only lost a pound. 219. But I am not discouraged and am still all the more excited for this week and the weeks to come.
Thanks for checking in.

Good! Thanks for posting your workout!
I went for an 11.5 mile bike ride yesterday, a 4.5 mile bike ride today and I ran the March of Dimes fundraiser run on Saturday. I feel like I am getting back in the groove of being active. It feels great!
Have a great week!!!
way to go! The results really start happening when the jogging kicks in. You'll see a lot of results, I'm sure by the end of the 3rd week! You are doing great. I'm on week 7 and so not motivated. I have to remind myself only 3 more to go:)
I think the best thing about this post is that you said that you weren't discouraged, but rather all the more excited - that's a great shift in attitude!
P.S. Good job with the training, too :-)
