I weighed in last night down 2.2, so a total of 8lbs so far, I started WW Jan 20th, so in 30 days, I guess thats not so bad.

So Before work I did a quick 1.5 miles in 20 mins on the treadmill
I do know that a month ago I could not do that. I would have only done a mile and I would of walked the whole time. But I am upset that 2 weeks ago I was doing 3 miles, and now it seems so hard. I think its part, getting sick of TM and part don't want to be on it that long. I am hoping Saturday I can pull 3 miles.

I am still working out everyday, Last night I did Jillian again, tonight I just got hte Wii game Just Dance, I heard thats a workout to play that game so I plan on trying that one tonight.

here's an idea of what you can do to mix up your TM workout

so every minute -- at 1:00, bump the speed up or down a little bit....at 2:00, change the incline, at 3:00 change the speed up or down a little bit, at minute 4:00 bump the incline back down, etc...it doesn't have to be a lot, just enough to change it

this not only challenges your body, but keeps it interesting since you're not staying at a set pace - and you're watching for the minute to change so you can change your pace or incline...

when i had a trainer, she used to have me do this

by the way, the first 2 miles of every run sucks for me...my legs don't warm up until AFTER that!

so i'm like...ugh, ew, this sucks...then suddenly it seems easier

Deb, thanks for the Tips.
I am going to try for 3 this weekend. The path I take outside is 2.5, I would love to do it twice, even if I have to walk it the second time.
I will let you know who it goes.
I just need to push past the 2 mile mark

 

[cclovesdis]

Deb, that sounds like a great idea!

Good luck making it up to 3 miles. You can do it!

 

[solar]

hope it went well...i'll read about it when I get home...keep at it! you've got this...

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I did 4 miles on Saturday, I ran for 2 of them, I was trying for 5 but I just ran out of energy.

Had a Girls night out party, and I drank and ate way way to much.
So the goo workout on Saturday will not help me with the weigh in, but at least I know I did it.. Can't wait for the weather to get much warmer and I can go outside alot more.


Hope you all had a good weekend!

 

[cclovesdis]

4 miles is great, especially running for 2 of them!
