will have to review the notes above for weights.

began walking c. 2 miles. Did this last thurs, fri, sat, sun (i think.. Im sure it was 4 days in a row). On the last day, I did spurts of jogging during the last mi. Then it rained and rained and RAINED. I need to remember to use that expensive treadmill sittting in my house on those days I cant get outside Then I got the flu!

Today is friday and DH and I walked around the lake (2.5 miles) with our jack russell. We ate at the lake, came home and an hour later we went mountain biking for about 1/2 mi. I also did some very light stretching (kneeling camel, leg lowering) and weight lifting (bicep curls, standing calf raise, triceps extension) later at night.

DH bought me NIKE SHOX TURBO running sneakers online. These are the best running shoes for women who are 20+ overweight as they absorb impact really well (and are very cute!). I probably would have bought the ADIDAS SUPERNOVA CUSHION because they are rated by SHAPE as the 'best all around', only they didnt have my size (11). DH will be buying me a pair of Merrell's Sprint Striker Goal's ($80 at merrell.com) for our 6 mi. hikes this summer providing they have my size.

anyone interested can get a free promax low carb bar by going to www.promaxbar.com ~ they are pretty tasty!

GOALS FOR THIS WEEK::

I will schedule a fitness routine and stick to it.

I will aim for 200 minutes of CARDIO this week.

I will learn the other 3 stretch exercises from SHAPE magazine April 2004, pg 189 (the five tibetan rites) and encorporate these into my routine.
