Okay Here we go!

Day 1: 63 minutes on the treadmill at 4.5-4.6 mph and 1-2% incline (yes this is jogging pace but I powerwalked it)
Calories burned: 530

Day 2: 51 min on the treadmill at 4.5 mph
Calories burned: 410

Although I have not been posting on here because my computer has been down, I have been exercising everyday!

So far I can run a solid 30 minutes at 6.0 mph! Can you believe that? I've never been a runner before.

Last night I also started lifting weights again and my arms are sore...but a good sore.

Now that I have the internet back I'll start posting daily exercise routines.
The past week has included cardio that atleast burns 440 cals per day (either bike, walking, running)

Workout: 45 minutes spinning = 460 calories
60 minutes cross trainer = 810 calories

Total Calories burned: 1270!!!

These are with weight inputs so they're accurate. I always monitor my heart rate. Believe it or not, I had to back off a bit on the spinning bike because my heart rate got up to 178 bpm and the most it should be during an anaerobic interval for a 20 year old is 171. I didn't want to pass out or anything!

October 25th, 2006

My legs are VERY sore from my run from yesterday. Funny thing is that I actually missed this feeling, like I've pushed myself to another level. Plus running at 7 mph is really good for me since last year I couldn't run for even 5 minutes!

Friday October 27th

None, hungover and I have to work tonight at the restaurant.

The blisters on the bottom of my feet from Tuesday are still here and making walking very difficult. I hope they're better by tomorrow

Saturday October 28th, 2006

Spinning 30 minutes 310 calories

I tried to use the treadmill and cross trainer but the blisters on the bottom of my feet burn, its terrible. Believe it or not, I think the new socks that I bought from New Balance caused them, because I've been using my Nike Shox for 2 months and I know that it can't be them.

What a bummer!
