Week 1 of 23

This week I'm getting serious. I've been walking / jogging for two weeks now to ease into this program, so I feel relatively confident in starting to pick up the pace. I've been on a relatively successful diet lately, and I'm concerned about getting the right balance of nutrients to keep the weight loss moving, but also keep my running goals moving. You see, I was keeping to a low carb diet when I wasn't exercising, but now I'm re-introducing the carbs to give me some running fuel.

I've also been eating smaller portions lately, which is a very good thing. I didn't gain weight because I like to eat snacks or candy, I gained weight because I like to eat large portions of normal food. (sitting at a computer 8 hours a day then not exercising didn't help either)

So the goals for this week:

• Run 15 minutes of a 45 minute work out.
• Rest on Wednesday and Saturday.
• Lift weights at least three days this week.
• Work on the ab crunches.
• Slowly increase carb content of diet.
• Stay with the small portion sizes.
• Keep the momentum going on my weight loss.

Wish me luck!
