starting the p90 program in earnest this week. Well, last night, anyways. Last night, i did the cardio routine wearing my F11 HRM. My work-out wasn't very cardio-riffic. I'm not sure what I need to do differently, but it was a struggle to keep my heart rate above 120, which for me is when 'cardio' actually kicks in.
I suppose I need to work on doing more motion and following the video closer. And, I think the video is more based on someone that hasn't done anything in years, and I'm in reas...

A friend of mine has had pretty good luck with the 'Beach Body'/p90/p90x series. He and his wife both do the exercise together and have done well. We've talked about it a few times, but I decided to give it a try - walking isn't always an attractive option during the Winter months.

Just a blog post, to bloginate, or something.
I'm hoping to hit my next goal on my weight this weekend, and go 1lb past, giving me 16 to go to where I want to be. Hoping I can loose 6 to be 10 lb away by Thanksgiving. We'll see though.
Changing my eating around a bit, eating a bit less for lunch and breakfast so I can do a mid-afternoon snack. Hopefully this will make me have more energy in the evenings, but we'll see what happens.

It was rainy & thundering this morning, so I didn't walk.
So, I decided to try to do 10 miles this evening. And with the 'marathon walking' post on the forums, i saw that you have to average 16 miles to do the philly marathon. So, I decided to try that.
I was able to average 15:48 for 10 miles, though!

CK really hates me though. I'm good on calories, but over on carbs/fat/fiber.

I'm goo...

Here's my walk this morning: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/402334
I didn't walk tonight to any real extent.
I'm on call this week for work, which means i don't sleep much, which means i'm tired most of the time.
But, tomorrow, walking 14 miles - 7 before work & 7 after.
