Day 123 -- 22 April 2009
I am pretty sure that I got on the treadmill on Monday but for the life of me I can't remember how many calories I burnt. I did get on tonight though but I didn't burn as many calories as normal. I walked for about 5 minutes and then decided to try to do cardio instead of fat burn. It didn't last long though because I wound up getting shin splints. I got off the treadmill and did some stretching to try to work it out and then I got back on to do my usual walk. I was still hurting pretty bad though and decided it would be better to just take the night off and start fresh again tomorrow. All totaled I walked about a mile and burnt about 120 calories.
Day 116 - 15 April 2009
I must confess that I have been slacking off for the past 5 days. I took my RMT (registered medical transcriptionist) Exam on Friday and I didn't pass it so I was a bit discouraged for a few days. I worked really hard to finish my MT course so I could work from home and now it seems like that won't ever happen. I have come to terms with the fact that I was obviously not meant to do so. I am going to enjoy the years that I have to stay home with my son and be the best stay-at-home Mommy that I can be to him. In order to do that though I need to get my butt back in shape so I got back in the saddle again tonight!! I walked 2.8 miles and burnt 311 calories. Shane and I are going to start doing Pilates in a few weeks and after we have done that for about a month we are going to take on P90X again. Hopefully by August I will be in the best shape of my life :O)
Day 110 -- 9 April 2009
Tonight I walked 2.7 miles and burnt 309 calories. I haven't mentioned the incline before but I figured for documentation purposes I probably should. I started out walking at an incline of 2.0 and have gradually bumped it up to 3.0.
Day 109 -- 8 April 2009
Tonight I walked 2.7 miles and burnt 293 calories. I have been discouraged this week that when I step on the scale on a weekly basis that the number is not decreasing. I decided to measure myself with the measuring tape to see if I had actually made any progress. I was ecstatic to see that I have lost a total of 2.75 inches so far!! I just need to stick to my guns and be patient and I know I will reach my goal :O)
Day 82 -- 12 March 2009
Tonight I walked 2.5 miles and burnt 203 calories. I am determined to continue exercising. I know changing my diet would help out a lot too but I just haven't been able to do so yet. If I could get my husband to join me it would be so much easier. It is so hard to eat right when I see him eating all the things I'm not supposed to eat!! I need to stop using that as an excuse though :O)
