After somewhat burning out on day 18, and crashing and burning most of the rest of the week, I've decided to give myself weekends off and to start fresh this Monday. I really would like this to be more of a gradual lifestyle change than a 'work out every day for a few weeks and then go back to being lazy' effort.
Also, I'm getting seriously sick of jumping jacks to the point of making all kinds of excuses to get out of them. Not sure what will be my daily routine going forward.
Today I took Specs out for a jog, and we jog/walked a mile. Back a few years ago, hubby and I started the Couch Potato to 5K program, and made it to about week 3 before it got frigid out (not my best planning moment). When I picked it up again this spring briefly, I was THRILLED to find out I hadn't lost any stamina. I can't really run for extended periods, but yesterday I made it for most of the mile, with only a few walking breaks. Prior to the first time we started 5k 'training' I couldn't even jog to the mailbox without nearly blacking out.
Total: Jog 1 mile, walk 1/3 mile
