I am kicking my butt into gear and holding myself accountable by keeping track with this workout record. I’ll be keeping notes below each workout table and just using this post throughout the year as a tool to hopefully keep myself motivated. And, to remind myself that I can do it! While I am starting small, I hope to see an improvement in endurance and length of workout as the weeks progress. I will drink more water, snack less often, eat more fruits and veggies and less bread and pasta. This is the year I bring me back!

* I sucked and didn’t keep track or take a photos, which is why I have started this record!
** had to sneak in a power workout but I sweated like crazy!
*** this was a SLOW walk that my daughter and I took our Ginger dog on. She has bad hips so we have to start out slow with her to get her moving again. It’s my goal to take Ginger for a walk a few times a week and eventually she’ll be able to run with me!
**** my butt hurts.
*****so I was sick for a week! finally started feeling better and am back to working out! Next week, the school is only open for two days. I’m thinking of starting Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred again. It’s a great workout, I feel like I can be motivated to so it a few times a week! We’ll see
****** I think I pretty much voided this entire workout with the half of a pulled pork sandwich (topped with spicy coleslaw) lunch that my workout buddy convinced me to partake in. It was so worth it.

*would you believe it if I told you, I have toe burn and it hurts. Ouch! My socks suck!
** Day 1 of The Shred. It’s been collecting dust in the cabinet for over a year. I’ll try for 3 times a week to start, at least!
*** I think the giant taco, A1/honey wings and adult beverage voided my 30 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes of The Shred. It was so worth it though!
**** I believe I am down by 2 lbs but it’s hard to say because my weight fluctuates so much from morning to evening. I am starting to feel like I’m making a difference though!
***** Walked Ginger for 10 minutes, dropped her off then continued walking with daughter. Would have went further but there was a skunk down by the bridge :)

* I ran this mostly from 5.0-6mph! My goal is to do it non-stop at 6, that will take some time! Also, I had almost a week of no exercise because of the stomach flu :(
** I ran a few more times but forgot to keep track! Ack!

# I bought new running shoes today! They’re called Nike Free and are very light and flexible. They felt pretty good but my toes kind of feel like I might get a blister — I hope not! They’re purple and pink :)

Hi! I'm 
Hi Henrietta
You are very brave, throwing all this out in the public domain. But it is very motivating to know that I am not he only girl, trying to become a smaller version of myself, together with being more fit. I walk every day on my treadmill, but have not as yet, kept a written record of what I do. I might start to write it down though, like you, for then I will know what it was that knocked the pounds off.
Thanks for your courageous sharing.
Roberta

I really like how you’ve charted your progress. I’m doing a cleanse right now (it’s a wimpy one that’s only 3 days and it’s day one so far) but I need to get my hiney in gear as well :P

That’s awesome and definitely keep up the good work. I lost a substantial amount of weight and I’ve been able to keep it off (thank god), so I know what you’re going through.
