Start (week 1): 154
Goal (Jan 4, 2016): 143
Week 2 Exercise Goals: 5 interval workouts (alternating between a cardio move and a strength move) and get out for a walk at least twice. It is a very rainy forecast this week, so achieving this goal will be dependant on mother nature
Oct 12: nada
Oct 13: 30 min. Shoulders/Triceps interval workout + 25 min. Kickboxing workout
Oct 14: nada
Oct 15: nothing
Oct 16: zilch

DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) kicked in from my workout yesterday and my legs, butt and inner thighs were soooo damn sore that it hurt to walk....so no workouts for a few days. Sad thing is my workout was upper body focused so I had no idea my lower half would be so sore! I stretched out my shoulders and triceps after the workout, but never stretched my butt and inner thighs which is why I ended up with DOMS. Note to self, no matter what type of workouts, do a full body stretch after!
I do feel a bit better today so I'll get out for a walk today and tomorrow...at least then I'll have hit one goal for this week!

Goal (Jan 4, 2016): 241
Well, I'm up from Friday's weigh in, but down from last Monday's weigh by a fair amount. A little under what I need to do to make my goal. Actually now that I look at it, I had a better week on the 1st one, so I have averaged 2/wk, which is right on target. I've started exercising again, as little as it may be since I'm just starting out. But I've got a goal to exercise 4 times this week and by the end of the week to be able to get half way through the first workout. I'm at 25% now.
Libby, Keep on going. you'll have a loss next week, I'm sure of it.
