Well, a journal is a first for me... so here it goes.
Today I did treadmill for 15 min and then did weights with "the firm" video for the first time. I felt good. I couldn't quite do all of it but I worked up a good sweat.
I think the weights are just what I need right now. Since walking for 30 min everyday, well jog/walking, has gotten me so far. But my middle section and back need some work. Legs are shaping up fine.
So, the firm in the morning and 30 min of walk/jogging in the eve with 10 min of "hit the spot abs" video.
I plan to do this 5 days a week with weekends off.

I only have 18 lbs till goal and that is why I am doing this 2x a day. Otherwise I feel loss of momentum. When I reach goal, I want to continue to shape up in order to run 2 miles next summer. Then, we'll see about serious weight training.
