A New Challenge!

I have committed myself to continue with all the things we worked on during the 100 Day Heart Challenge. I will continue to blog as some of my other challenge team-mates are doing. I think getting through the first 100 days was a bit of a challenge in keeping to the rules, but it really gave me enough time to kind of falter and find things that don't work, and make the change to something that does work and make it part of everyday life for me.

I have continued to hit the gym about 4-5 days a week, trying to do at least 30-45 minutes of cardio followed by 30-45 minutes of weights. Then a couple times a week I like to get the the classes offered at the gym. I am working with an application on my phone that is training that takes place over 9 weeks, with intervals of running and walking. All with the intent that when finished, I will be able to run a 5k without stopping or slowing to walk! So far, week one done - eight more weeks to go!

I weighed in this morning with about 3 lbs lost this last week. Wahoo! I'll take that!! Now, I am only 6 lbs away from no longer being OBESE, according to my BMI chart.

  1. I hate those BMI charts :) MY goal weigh for when this is done is still in the overweight category. Maybe I need a new goal hahaha. What app are you using? I am interested in seeing if running that way will be easier on my knees? Thanks for blogging, I enjoy reading and congrats on your success
