Week 1

4-week goal: lose 10 lbs and be able to do 10 real push-ups
complete by: April 25
Weight lost: 1.2 lbs
Consecutive push-ups: 2

What I have been doing this week:
Diet: I've been trying to avoid sweets, and replace fatty foods for fruits and vegetables.  I'm still not very good at it and can be easily convinced to break my diet.
Exercise:
   Strength:  I used acefitness.com's "Fit for me" tool and did their beginner "Kickstart" workout 3 times this week.  It made me sore the first day.  I like their workouts.  I'm going to move on to Week 2 of their schedule next week and hopefully bump up the intensity.
   Cardio:  I took my baby on a walk almost daily (Mon, Wed-Fri) for 30 min - 1 hour each day.  Saturday my husband was home, so I went on a 45 min jog in the hills behind our house.  It felt good, even though I was exhausted afterward.  Also, I need bigger running clothes.  And new running shoes that don't have holes in them...

How I feel this week:
Exhausted.  My muscles are worn out.  Some days, I didn't want to go walking because my legs were tired even before I left.  Here in Rockbridge County, we don't have flat terrain.  It's all hills.  I'm sure it will get easier, but right now I just want to call it a day at about 8 pm.

What I want to change about my body:
1. My protruding waistline.
2. My fat arms.
3. My back doesn't seem to have a curve on it.

What I like about my body:
1. My calves have good shape to them.
2. My neck is getting stronger and with more definition.
3. My skin is getting darker from the increased sun exposure.

Wow I'm big.

I forget how large I am.

Weight: 283.5 lbs
