The "Routine"

This one time..... at band camp............ ok now seriously, i started the kick again about a week ago. I had slacked off a little on my walking and cheated a little on snacking......but luckily had not gone backwards (at least not by much....5 lbs maybe). Then my boyfriend had his PT test (he's in the air force). To make a long story short....they measured his waist and he had gain a couple of inches, 2 i think. And of course, he challenges me. There was an underlying motive to the challenge, i am certain he noticed the 5 lbs. We had a long discussion about this, let's just say that Women ARE from venus and Men ARE from mars. Anywhoooo.......when i measured my waist to accept the challenge i was devastated. 37 inches.....how could that be. I know i'm not fat. But to put a number on your waist.........DAMN! So i decided to kick it into high gear. No more "just" walking. I needed to start doing "real" exercise. I decided to take up jogging. One lap around our neighborhood is 1/2 mile. Last week when i started i wouldn't even jog halfway around before i was out of breath and ready to walk. I know, i know.......quit smoking. But i'm not ready for that yet. Anyway, now i am up to jogging 2 WHOLE laps.......that's a mile. WOOOHOOO! I am proud of me. And now i have decided to start some more exercising.....you know sit ups, push ups, lunges, etc on a daily basis. I'm gonna set myself a goal each day on how many of each i am going to do (increasing a little at a time) and use YOU to help me track it. Are you up to it? Well.....if you're not.....i am gonna pretend you are for motivations sake. So today i ran 2 laps (1 mile) and set a goal to do 100 situps, 20 dead lifts, 20 lunges, and 20 push ups throughout the day. I've already done 67 situps along with 20 lunges (ouch...they were easy at first) and 33 dead lifts (yey i did extras). OK....so i am procrastinating on the push ups.......i will, i will. Stay tuned....i'll keep you posted.
