back in the game!

After a week of no exercise and only some food tracking, I am BACK!  I totally blame last week on post-holidays January slump.  That plus all the snow made it hard to get out of bed, much less do anything else.

Anyhoo, today I had to work for 3 hours, and then went straight to the gym.  I did a total of 45 minutes on the treadmill, 2.56 miles.  My average pace was 3.4 mph.  Please don't laugh.  With my short legs, I'm happy to walk 3.0 mph!  :)  Plus I burned nearly 400 calories, and jogged a total of 12 minutes in 2 and 3 minute intervals.

Did I mention Weight Watchers here?  I can't remember.  Sadly, due to a nasty electric bill, I can't go anymore this month.  I'm going to attempt to get back into it next month (depending on bills, sigh).  However, I know how to do the tracking, and I've been doing it anyway.  I weighed myself this morning, and will record my weight every Monday morning.  My short-term in-sight goal is to get to 250 (13.6 pounds away).  To reward myself I'm going to buy a Nike+ gadget to make my walks/jogs outside much easier to track.

After all, I'm going to have to get used to exercising outside to do that half-marathon in November!
