A Whirlwind of Updates

VACATION
August 7-14 Myrtle Beach, SC, USA
Visited: Waccatee Zoo, Myrtle Beach State Park, Huntington Beach State Park, Broadway at the Beach, Build A Bear Workshop, Grandma's Pool, Seafare Seafood Buffet, Above Par Vacations at Island Green Country Club, Liberty Brewery, Wee R Sweets, Dad's Condo
All in all a good vacation. Not so good in the food journal tracking category, but I LOST 0.2# while on vacation. So PFFFFFT! Kept up with C25K as well. But, I did get my first ever cold sore. It's still here and really sucks.

EXERCISE
C25K
START DATE: AUGUST 1, 2011
WEEK 1: Did Week 2

WEEK 2: Did Week 3 while on vacation. iPod threw a fit day 1 so I "winged" it with the intervals since I hadn't read the routine before heading out that morning. Learned the hard way that jogging at night while at the beach is the best plan of attack. :-)

WEEK 3: In Progress. Doing Week 4.
AB ROUTINES
Getting back on the wagon this week. Doing my Week 2 scheduled Ab routine. Reverse crunches, planks, and leg lift thingies.

WEIGHT ROUTINES
Again, getting back on the wagon. Just following my current template. Maybe some pool work will make an appearance sometime soon?
WEIGHT LOSS
-22.5# to date!
I restarted my journey May 30, 2011. It's been good so far.

No Dying--Just lots of Sweating ;-)

DAY 1 COUCH TO 5K (C25K)

No stopping. No dying. Lots and Lots of sweating. It wasn't bad at all. Me, my iPod, and the gazillion degree heat index started our ambitious plan successfully today. The podcast I chose for today's workout was great and the Narrator wasn't terribly peppy or droning either.

I start out on my front porch and do my warm up walk to the local Middle School track. I complete all of my intervals on the track and then do my cool down walk home. It is rather convenient. Today I was able to cover just short of 1.25 miles during my intervals. Very proud of myself!

What I Learned:
Lengthen my stride--it's way more comfortable!
Not all shorts ride up (thank goodness!)
I need to drink more before I leave

I CAN DO IT!

So I weighed in this AM as I do every stinking Monday morning and I'm down 18.0 pounds. Hoorah! So from 5/30 until today I've done a very good job! This is week 10 overall and I am feeling great.

This week:
C25K: Mon, Weds, Fri
Weights: Tues, Thurs, Sat
Abs: Tues, Thurs, Sat
Work: Sun, Mon, Thurs, Fri

We leave for VACATION on Sunday! Just hope I can complete Week 2 without much trouble while vacationing.


Thanks for coming along for the ride!
