week 3

I had another pretty good week. I stuck to my jogging schedule, although I was unable to advance to the next level on Thursday. The routine is supposed to be:
5 min walking
3 min jog, 2 min walk, repeat 9 times (9 times??? Holy cow.)
5 min walking
So I actually made it through 4 1/2 of the jogs. Then I walked for about 3 minutes, jogged another two, and walked the rest of the way home. So it was not a complete failure, but it really frustrates me to not be able to add that extra minute to each round of jogging. I get through the "jog 2, walk 2" just fine. I will keep at it!

Erich got out there with me on Saturday, and we backed it up to the last jog 2 walk 2 program, and I will try again today to kick it up to jogging 3 minutes at a time.

We did ok with our eating over the weekend...only one cream sauce dish, and I did a good job w/portion control. Plus, on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday nights we increased our veggies at dinner and omitted the pasta that we usually have on the side. I don't believe in no-carb dieting, but I know that I could use a decrease.

This coming weekend is my first benchmark for checking on my progress. I'll see how I look/feel in my cute new dress at our friends' wedding, and I will also post the first round of before/after pics! I'm really going to have to work hard this week!
