Goals this week:

to increase session time - done - last week 297.7 Min. - this week 389.37
to increase miles per hour - done - 4.3 to 4.8
to increase calories used - done - 2661.8 to 3487.6

Completed 28.82 miles this week compared to 21.98 last week.

This week I have reduced by body fat by 1.79%, which equals 4 lbs of body fat but gained 5 lbs of muscle. Therefore no weight loss on scales. Bummer!

I have increased my # of days exercising to 6 from 5 this week - all on the Gazelle - it would seem as I am loosing inches all over my body that I do not need addition weight training at this time - but will add this (maybe a Curves) -- will re-evaluate at the end of January.

I am doing the 1/2 hour Gazelle video tape (four cardio fast sections - as fast as you can go for 1 min.) then do an extra 1/2 hour walking at 4.5 miles per hour for fat burning.



Extra Credit

My sense of balance has improved greatly
Can shop on cement floors for hours without feeling fatigued or my feet hurting
No bloating, gas, or runs since after Oct 25th.
Except for some muscle soreness the nagging whole body neck and back pain has been greatly minimized.
I have lost a whole shoe size or more
Exercising shirts now look like short dresses!
I can now get down to the floor and get up without help or immense pain.


Next weeks reward if I maintain or better this week's progress new cross trainers!
