New Gym Procedure
Okay so i was reading over the last weekend and came across an article in woman's day that tells you how to get in shape to run a 5 k or 10 k in 12 weeks. Well i am zealous but not that zealous! I picked the 5 k and started the new regiment on 8/3
Last night i walked 3 miles on the treadmill .... i am not sure why not one of my friends told me just how far 3 miles was ... OH lord i thought that i was seeing the light. Put i pushed through did the entire 3 miles and then soaked!
I got up today and feel okay a little sore in some places but nothing like i had thought that i was going to feel.
Tonight it is 30 min on the bike ... WISH me luck and lets hope this week i go down a few pounds!

Weigh in for the week
Weighed in on the morning of 7/16 down 1 pound 209
Weighed in on the morning of 7/23 UP 1 pound back to 210
But I am okay with that I did not go to the gym once this week.
I did okay by maintaining calorie intake! Life is a battle and a struggle
