Week Six and Reflections

Sunday morning:  Posted pics to Facebook.  Will not post any pics with bathing suit.  Talk about motivation for losing weight.  OMG, as they say.  I can just shake my head and wonder how I got here, and be eager to get "there" which is the weight I plan to be at when school resumes in ten weeks (only ten!).

So as for weigh in:  after exercise, but also after breakfast, I'm done a pound and on schedule for the WELO (Weight Loss) plan for this summer.  Good ol' WELO.  So, for exercise this week, it begins:

Sun. 20 minutes running/walking.   Cold still is making me feel "less than" (and definitely hot and tired).
Mon, June 19:  40 minutes balance ball--upper and lower body
Tues, June 20:  Ran at 9:45, temp = 82, humidity = 60%.  Felt HOT.  W5/R25/W12.  Felt pretty strong throughout--decent pace, but legs hurt initially and afterwards in shin area (not common).  Slept 8+hrs. Coffee, no breakfast except a couple bites of veggie rice.  Note:  For running days, I'm going to keep a bit more info to see what seems to work better for running and when I feel bad.
Wed:  30 min pilates
Th:  Two fitness videos almost 20 min each plus a 7 min "evening" exercises (stretching mainly); using body weight for mainly upper body work from real age.com
Fri:  5 mile walk with the girls in the a.m.--about 70 minutes.
Sat: T=48; ran 35 minutes; W4 / R20 / W2 / R10 / W2 / R5 / W5 Came back weighing 2 lbs less--gotta hydrate! But it's nice to see that weight on the scale--harbinger of things to come.
