It's been 4 weeks tomorrow since I got back on the wagon, and I am very pleased with the results. I'm down 11.6 lbs., almost half-way to my goal of 25 lbs by March 31.
I live in a multi-level home, so there's lots of stair-climbing during the day, and that keeps me from being sedentary. However, the time has come to add some exercise for fitness. My motto is: Eat to be healthy; exercise to be fit.
Starting tomorrow, Monday February 1, I will be doing a combination of walking and weights. For walking during these winter months, I am using Leslie Sansone's "The Walk Diet," which is an indoor walk program. For weights, I'm using The Biggest Loser's "Power Sculpt 6-week program." This is my workout plan, 6 days a week. I chose 2-week intervals because that's the way Power Sculpt is designed.
1st 2 weeks:
weights: warm-up + Jillian's segment, using 3 lb weights + cool down
walking: 2 miles
2nd 2 weeks:
weights: warm-up + Kim's segment (5 lb. weights)+ cool down
walking: 3 miles
3rd 2 weeks:
weights: warm-up + Bob's segment (8 lb weights)+ cool down
walking: 4 miles
4th 2 weeks:
weights: warm-up + Jillian's segment (10 lb weights) + cool down
walking: 5 miles
I plan to do the walking and weights as separate activities, not as a single session.
Those 8 weeks will bring us to the end of March. I'll score myself a point each day for weights and a point for walking -- so the goal is to earn 12 points per week. I'm making another ticker to show my progress towards the 96 potential points to earn. We'll see if I can make it all the way.
