It has been some time since I posted my gym log, so I'm starting again. I've been fully dedicated to LC for about a month or so, lost about 15lbs so far, and my goal this past month was to get up to 1 hour on the treadmill and I did it!

I start at 3.0 speed, because I'm very short, so though all the books tell you to walk at 4.0 speed, that is running like the wind for me....

Every 3 minutes, I go up 1% incline until I get to 10% incline. The goal this month is to maintain 3.0 speed all the way up to 10% incline, then at 10% incline I lower speed to 2.0 and recover.

I then come down in 3-minute intervals until I get back to 1% incline.

I also added some weight/arm exercises while I'm in recovery mode going slower (so I don't fall off the back of the treadmill).

The thing I love about this workout is every day I feel stronger, more in control of my obesity, and there actually is light at the end of the weight loss tunnel.

I know that if I am going to keep this weight off for good, I have to exercise, every single day!
