1st Day FF/Couch-to-5K-Training (147lbs)

3rd Day FF / 5K Training (141.5lbs - Lost 3lbs)
 

I didn't eat so well yesterday so I'm sure the 3lb loss is only from water weight. If anyone is interested in a video of my workout just click on the exercise description (the link takes you to a video demonstrating the exercise)

5th Day 5K Training (142.5lbs)
 

I wasn't able to post yesterday but wanted to note that I jogged for 30mins but didn't work any body parts.

I'm deciding whether or not I'll do weight training 3 days or 4 days a week. My struggle is I want to keep up my momentum, and I feel if I'm not working out Monday-Friday I'll slip back into being lazy again. Decisions, decisions.

Its easy ---- work out five days, take weekend as off - maybe even add a play day where you have to walk or something with family on Saturday and rehab day on Sunday.

So its settled - shake that butt off..... stay motivated and achieve them results ----- keep it up :) :cool:
