39 days to go
The Plan: One hour and fifteen minutes of cardio, three different machines. C25K training. Work my ass off. Literally.
Did I do it?: My hip is killing me so I skipped the stairclimber. Did elliptical and treadmill. Did not do c25k because running was hurting me, so I just did a hill setting. Dunno what I should do cardio-wise if my hip doesn't stop feeling so sore. :-( Overall, burned 550-600 cals. Not bad, not bad.
Misc: Last week was such a disaster. Total, utter disaster. So it looks like I ended May at 0.5 lbs heavier than I was at the beginning of the month. Talk about discouraging. I'm still trying to keep my spirits up. I'm bummed because I weighed myself this morning and it was 164. I don't know if it was water or what, but I feel like I'm at back at square one. I'm trying to curb my bad scale habits - I moved it out of the bathroom and under the couch, so I won't see it and won't be compelled to step on it.
Goals this week:
1) Eat 1450 cals every day, 1700 on Sunday
2) Do not weigh self until Sunday
3) Work out Mon-Sat, at least 1 hour of cardio each time. 3 days of crunches, 2 weight training days. Aim for 500 calories burned each day.
On a positive note - my calf muscles are much stronger and more defined than they've been in a while.
