Doing Better Week 1 Recap

Last weekend I got a kick in the pants and realized I needed to move my body more.  And drink more water.  And make better food choices.  So I re-started.  Here is how I did.  (Somewhat embarrassing results coming...)

Sunday -   Brisk five-minute warm up walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Monday - Brisk five-minute warm up walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Tuesday - 1.5 mile walk

Wednesday - 50 minute leisurely walk around the mall (yes, I was a mall walker with a stroller!)

Thursday - off

Friday - off

Saturday - off

The good news? I lost 3 pounds.  That is sad.  I also drank more water Mon-Wed than I have recently, but then Thursday - Saturday the water drinking went down hill.  I made better food choices and that helped a lot too.  I originally planned for more working out but, life got in the way.  So, we start again this week. 

My goals for this week? Go faster/harder on the running and make it at least 5 days of movement!

I also confess to liking the treadmill.  I know I go longer on a treadmill than if I were to venture out on the streets by myself.

How did you do this week?
