Days 14 thru Day 20 :: 03/16 - 03/22

I did good this week.

Got up at 5:30 every other morning this week and went to the Rec Center to work out.
Followed the nutrition diet fairly well. Did have a few sweets due to birthday parties at work, will need to learn to pass those up.

Exercise this week - 7
Nutrition - 5

03/22 - Saturday - Today was scheduled for an upper body workout. I felt good when I got to the center, so I thought I would do a little treadmill just to warm up. I actually ended up doing 16 minutes on the treadmill. Started very slowly at a 2.8mph speed and increased about .3 every minute. When I reached 4.5, I realized that I could probably do a full minute at 5.0mph, so I did. I then of course had to slow back down to the 3.2 and walk for about 2 to 3 minutes to get my breath back again. But, overall, it felt good. I am thinking I should push myself to 5.0mph on each aerobic workout day. After 16 minutes on the treadmill, I then did an abreviated version of my upper body workout.

03/21 - Friday -Aerobic Workout - Did a 20 minutes workout on the treadmill began at 2.8 mph and moved up .2 to .3 mph each minutes, then dropped back down to 3.2 and back up to a max of 4.5 mph.

03/20 - Thursday - Lower Body workout - used the machines and stuck to the plan fairly well.

03/19 - Wednesday - Aerobic Workout - Treadmill 20 minutes

03/18 - Tuesday - Upper Body - free weights mostly, used one machine for triceps

03/17 - Monday - Aerobic Workout - Treadmill 20 minutes, begin at 2.8 mph and max at 4.5 mph. - Good workout, felt like I pushed myself hard.

03/16 - Sunday - Rec Center is not open so could not go workout. Just did some walking around the neighborhood.
