Just back from my walk today. I did:

5 minutes warm up around the park
10 minutes power walk around the park
10 minutes walk home up hill (this was the hardest part!!)
2 minutes recovery

That's really only a 20 minute workout, but again, I'm starting slow. To be honest, it was enough! I'm sleepy now. And that walk up hill!!

I got this email from Oprah (haha) in my hotmail this morning, and her trainer, Bob Greene, says in order to lose weight, you should work out aerobically 6 times a week. He doesn't count cardio resistance training as an aerobic workout (even though my body temperature went up and my breathing quickened yesterday - definitely). It worries me that I might be wasting my time doing only what I can handle. I know that if I try to push it too hard at first, I'll quit. Argh.

Well - losing weight on Atkins is easy anyway, so I guess physical activity can only help.
