Day 8... Bad Blogger

Hopefully I'll start doing this a little more frequently....


So, Saturday I did 1.5 miles on the treadmill at a 2% incline at 7 mph.  Monday I couldn't even make it that long.  At least I have almost a year to start getting a few more miles done.

Hmm... As I posted this bit about myexercise, I realized that I should have some factual basis for setting the treadmill at a 2% incline.  I found the following... http://mysite.verizon.net/jim2wr/id110.html.  Seems like pretty good stuff.  No more 2% inclines for me.  Maybe some variable inclines to simulate hills, but otherwise 0%.  And the title of the post is even called The 1% Incline Treadmill Myth.

So, I'm still at 213 lbs as of this morning.  Making it through a food and wine tasting event and baking a birthday cake for my daughter and not gaining any weight seems good to me.  Not what I'd hope for a typical week at this stage, though.  At some point in the near future I'm going to have to get serious about this thing or I just won't make it.
