Fitness Challenge - week 2
My fitness update # 2
Okie dokie kids, time to talk about fitness! Remember my fitness challenge I have been working on? I wrote about it here...
Now, it’s the second week into it. I am at 133 lbs now. I guess I stabilized my weight now as the *norm* to start at. (Remember - I was 135 and lost 3lbs last week?)
Went on my treadmill 25 minutes this time, 5 days last week. I got super lazy strength training though. I think it is because I tend to walk a TON at work, I get really lazy after I come home, walk the treadmill and then when it comes time to do my weights, I am just too pooped. And then I need to hop on the computer, cook supper and all that.
I was able to run a small amount while I was on my treadmill. My ankle bothered me a bit after, but it was OK. I am happy though that I was actually able to run again.
Am super afraid of hurting my knee. I just cannot tolerate another injury. I have not been as diligent in logging my calories this week, that is not good. I am keeping a running tally in my head though, but still…it needs to be on paper. Or at least - Internet paper. lol.
Am having a bit of trouble making sure I get 8 glasses of water a day though. I really don’t know why. I have never had a problem before - after I got use to it. It’s harder I think when you fall off track.
I still have 3 months to go to reach my goal. Will I make it kids? I don’t know - you all are just gonna have to subscribe to keep up to date!
If I do make it - I will post a picture of myself here. So then you all can see my lean, toned muscles! lol.

My Fitness challenge - week 1.
If you all remember last week when I was totally ticked off because I have been gaining a very unhealthy weight for my height. I wrote about it here and said that I would be rededicating myself to my fitness workout and weight loss routine.I was going to add a post about this yesterday, but I already had written two posts and did not want to bombard you with too many postings!Well, I have so far made good on that progress and have lost 3 lbs already. I have made myself get on my treadmill starting last Monday and so far, so good. I was able to hop on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
However, my cardio daily totals should have been 60 minutes daily and I have only been doing about 20-25 minutes on those days. That equals a weekly goal of 300 minutes that I should be getting. But as of now, I am not.
I am really nervous about getting another ACL injury from running so I am making sure that I start slow this time.
My total goal for weekly calories burned are 1530. This past week I burned just 798. That’s still, 2 whole meals if you think about it. 
My strength training consisted of simple exercises of dumbbell wrist curls, lateral raises, flys, chest presses, bicep curls, crunches and so on. I wanted to keep my first week very simple and easy. I am just not in the mood to be getting any injuries!
And I have been at my “Sparkpeople” all week. logging all my food, my water, exercises, etc. Seriously, you guys need to join there. It really is worth it.
Free Online Diet Plan at SparkPeople.comI even updated my weight loss there a little while ago. So, all in all it has been a great week for a start. Hopefully I will be able to loose 2-3 lbs this week too.
