I crawled out of bed, did some laundry, ate a banana and headed off to the gym. I am focusing mainly on cardio right now for weight loss and then when I get to a better weight then I will focus on weight training too. I know gaining muscle mass makes you gain weight and even though I understand how it works and its not gaining fat, right now I want to see results and if the scale doesn't move then I will find it discouraging. So today I did an hour on the treadmill at alternating inclines beteeen 3.5 and 4.5 mph. During my hour on the treadmill today (I usually just speed walk) but I tried jogging today and did it 4 times and then would back down to a fast walk again. I am really excited about it because since I fractured my anke in May I haven't been able to run. I figure a treadmill is a good place to start because my ankle is still weak and I dont want to run on uneven ground. When I got home I ate a boiled egg and an avocado and am cooking chicken breasts and rice now for dinner.
You're doing awesome! Maybe some day we will get a chance to run a race together.
