Rise and Shine!

It’s January 5, 2008 and it’s been 4 days now since I started my workout routine. So far it’s been good workouts. I’m not over exerting myself but I push myself to better my exercise times each day. I can feel when I’m pushing myself to hard so I normally slow my pace down a bit so that I can stick with my program. For myself, if I can get through a month of my workout routine, I know I’ll stick with my daily workout for awhile.

This morning I woke up at 06:00 AM. I started my morning routine by doing 15 minutes of stretching than puting on my running shoes. You should have comfortable shoes to walk or run with. It makes all the difference after your workout. Here are my stats for this morning. I jotted my times down the first day that I started and this morning, I’ll notate it below.

My first workout:

Time: 25:29
Speed: 2.7
Distance: 1.106
Calories: 139.9
Carbs: 17.3
Incline: 2.0

This morning:

Time: 20:37
Speed: 3.2
Distance: 1.010
Calories: 123.6
Carbs: 15.4
Incline: 2.0

I’m trying to stick with a mile a day for the first week and increase it to 1 1/2 miles the second week and the third week I’ll hit 2 miles. I want to get up to about 45 minutes of either a treadmill workout or a fast 45 minute walk around the neighborhood. My goal is to stick with my program and get down to my slim 210lbs.

As for my meals I found a store here locally that serves really good healthy meals. The store’s name is Down To Earth Health Food Store. It has a variety of dishes that you choose from and great tofu burgers. They have a website that has the recipes that they serve. I listed their website on my first posting in my Hawaii Recipe’s Categories.
