Let me add that I dragged? mulch for about 15 minutes and squatted all day painting the basketball lines for Kaboom!

Did it. 45 minutes, warmed up, cooled down and only walked about 3 minutes, made it to 2 bridge.
Hard in the beginning, felt great the 2nd half

Cathe, first 2 sections. Started by 6:08. Daniel woke up right away, but was an angel. Luci did the last 10 minutes with me. Jane called (the main reason I actually get up right now). Hopefully after a few more weeks (especially before summer break) I will be able to get up because it is healthy and very good for me :-) 'cause I don't think she's going to want to keep up the early morning phone call in the summer.

Good job!

Nothing over the weekend. Felt horrible.

This morning went walking, no jogging.

45 minutes today!!! With warm up and cool down included. Felt elated! Have a great running partner. We made it to the 2nd bridge. (note me doing the running man with crazy sounds coming out of my mouth, also the shopping cart and sprinkler--runners high I guess)

Almost didn't do it, but then remembered Jane would be calling. Then had to find the dvd. It was in the vcr (Daniel I'm sure) But you didn't flinch and finished first section. Start getting up at 5:45 to match the mon, wed, fri routine.

(8?

Partner didn't show today. Went anyway. Felt great!!! Cut it short by 3 minutes. Still worth it.

Good job today. You were sick, but went anyway. We had to cut off the time short because of the job and then you asked to walk because of your cold...but really you got up and went, no excuses, just real reasons. Also we are planning on meeting at 6:00 Mon, wed, fri now, and running until 6:45 every day but Mon. (due to work). Excited!

Saturday I was lazy in the morning, but I made sure to pack running clothes so I could take a jog after church while at mom's. It ended up being after dinner, and it ended up being with all of my and Jane's kids. Needless to say, my 4 mile plan dwindled to about 2 miles jogging only half at best. The highlight was Luci had to go potty and the others were tired of it so Jane took them home and Alexis and I stayed for 3 more laps. We jogged 100 meters of each lap and walked the rest then walked home. We freaked out on our 2nd lap when a bunny ran across our path!

But kudos for remembering clothes and getting the whole family involved.

Nothing today, Benny's birthday and I'm very sick right now so no problem. Should you cancel running in the morning? I'm not going to because Grace's sickness didn't last too long so I should be able to make it. Don't want to lose momentum. Just remember kleenex.

Loosened up on the jogging routine and offered a let's jog until we are tired of it and then walk a little and then jog again. We ended up making it about a mile, walking a little and then another mile. So good times. Loved it. Spicing it up even more with headphones on Monday.

yesterday....fog 3 walk 2, path

today. Thanks to Jane I was up even before she called and finished the workout I started Tues. I am fine, for now, with half a weight workout each day as long as I get a full one in on the weekends.

I woke up on time, but Jane got me out of bed. I only finished half, so I will do the other half Thursday. When I get used to this I will wake up earlier in order to get the whole in.

Good plan!

3 jog, 2 walk path on Wed.--cold, but felt great

Just a side. It's getting somewhat easier to get up, but I also wake up at this time on the weekends too! Annoying.

I did plan on doing something today after I attended church and cleaned the house, but instead Ken arranged to go to Villa Olivia with his mother, sister, grandparents and corinne for our anniversary gift. We ended up staying the whole day so there was no time.

I did make up for it though Saturday night. Grace, Luci and I danced to the Hanna Montana and Princess dvds. It did cause heavy breathing at times, but it was fun. Normally I would have sat on the couch vegging, so I think it counts for today's exercise since I do need to make sure Sunday exercise is light and low impact to counteract the rest of the the week.

Good job today! Knowing it wasn't going to be a great eating day wiht Cheesecake Factory on the agenda, you made sure to fit in a workout...Cathe muscle endurance. You have to plan to work it in on the weekends, and you did. Still feel like a fat pig, so work on not eating quite so much.

4/11

jogged 3, walk 2

felt great!

4/10/

Ok. Jane's on board with calling me T, Th to make sure I'm out of bed. We'll see how it works, cause I couldn't do it on my own today. I did finally decide to get out in time for 30 minutes of the hour long tape, but had technical difficulties, then got it going and had to restart due to itty bitty fingerprints ruining the dvd, then an unexpected door opening, then had to wake the boys and 30 minutes was up. It's vital that you get going by 6:00 or it will never happen!

4/9

30 minutes walk/jog. Walked a dog too! How fun.

Wrote Jane to see if she wants to give me a 6:00 call on T, Th to make sure I'm up doing weights. If anyone else reads this, is up and wants to do this duty, I would truly appreciate it!

4/8

Should've gotten up for weights. Didn't!

Get in 32 weight sessions before the big game (July 25th) and you will be able to buy a COOL shirt this year!

Alternative motivation, find a partner?

---Later that day I had to take the car in for a flat and decided to walk home instead of waiting or calling for a ride. Probably a 2 mile walk in rain and cold blowing wind. Good choice.

4/7

30 min. jog2, walk 3

4/4/08

Yesterday nothing. Today jog 2, walk 3 for 30 minutes. Went well. Feeling like I'm getting a workout, but not overdoing it.



adding a bowl of whole grain cereal with nuts and dried cherries on days I run.



Make a plan for a weekend run.

Break has been a blah fest in the areas of exercise and eating, although I must say we haven't gone overboard as in past post diet experiences.

Sunday night I made sure to call up another partner. We started a walk/jog routine Monday morning! Great. Partners are the best.
