I actually got on the treadmill tonight!! I walked for an hour at 2 mph and burnt 192 calories. I am a bit sore since I haven't exercised in so long but that is to be expected. I decided to start out slow and not worry about target heart rate right now. I am going to contiue at this pace for the remainder of the week and then bump it up to 2.1 mph next week. I plan to do so each week for about a month or so and then shoot for my target heart rate and really get serious. I also plan to start doing situps, pushups, squats and pullups next week. I have to take it really slow on the situps though because my tummy is really sore due to the fact that the mucles are so weak right now. Hopefully they will get stretched and strengthened a bit in the coming days now that I am allowed to pick up and carry my little man again :O)
I have also decided to start the South Beach Diet. Shane and I have been talking about changing our eating habits for quite some time now and I think the South Beach Diet is just the thing we need to get us back on track. We plan to start on Sunday so I will start logging my meals again starting then. I am bound and determined that by the time I turn 33 in about 4 months I will be well on my way to being healthy and happier :O)
