gaining 0.1 lb a week
17 July 2014
Once again, trying to reestablish my fitness routine. Have also been snacking like crazy since quitting my job. I'm definitely a "snack out of boredom" type, so I guess I'll just have to be more diligent about keeping myself busy.
My goal this week was to GET MOVING every day, no matter what. So far, so good, though Wednesday was a huge struggle since I was really sore from Monday and Tuesday. The first few days after starting up a routine are always torture. But I MOVED my butt, even though I wasn't able to do the full 20-min run I'd planned to do.
Monday
: 5 min warm-up, 20 min run, 10 min cool-down
Tuesday
: strength training
Wednesday
(ugh the struggle): 10 min warm-up, 10 min run, 10 min walk, 5 min run, 15 min cool-down.
Today
: strength training
Tomorrow's goal
: 5 min warm-up, 20 min run, 10 min cool-down.
I'm determined to establish a routine now so that once my grad program starts mid-August I'll just be able to maintain it. I've been told that following a fitness regimen is incredibly important in school since it relieves stress (oh and also because I'll probably be sitting on my butt all day every day doing school work).
I'll continue to weight-in, though I'm not focusing on weight loss as part of my fitness goal. Of course I'm hoping weight-loss will be a side effect of getting into better shape, but instead of focusing on losing something, I'm focusing on gaining things: strength, endurance, flexibility, etc.

losing 0.2 lb a week
18 March 2014
Decided to do some 30-Day Fitness Challenges with my coworker to build up better muscle strength. I've been doing it for about 2 weeks now.
Here's where I was Day 1, and where I am now:
Wall Sit: 10 sec --> 90 sec
Squats: 50 --> 100
Push-Ups: 3 --> 7
Tricep Dips: 5 --> 35
Plank: 20 sec --> 60 sec
Sit Ups: 15 --> 35
Leg Raises: 5 --> 15
So I'm definitely seeing some improvement!
But boy has it been HARD. I've really learned my strengths (legs) and weaknesses (arms). It's exciting though! In the beginning I thought it would be too challenging, but the exercises increase so gradually that I hadn't really noticed until I looked at my before & after numbers. It's working!

Went running at the gym 3 times last week! Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, each with a 5-10 min warmup, 20 min run, 10 min cool-down. Going to go again tonight :) I think I'll try to bump up my running time by a minute or two each week so by summer I'll be around a 45 min run... sounds daunting to think of it that way, but adding just one extra minute each week sounds manageable. Baby steps!
