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.
