I spent a few hours at the gym tonight. I have not made a trip yet this week, so I had to play some catch up.
I started out with 30 minutes on the treadmill, alternating a quick walk with a sprint. 1 minute walk, 1 minute sprint. About half way. I did 2 minutes of walking, 1 minute of sprinting and eventually 2 of walking and 1.5 of sprinting. It kept my heart rate at about 136 (within my ideal cardio heart rate and fat burn zone) for the full half hour.
After that, I spent 25 minutes on the stationary bike then about 10 minutes each on the nautilus machines, and abs. I think I did 160 situps…
It has been about 25 days since I started my wedding diet. Let’s call it 24 days, since that was when I posted my first blog on the topic (on my other blog, Neccessary Nerdom).
Anyway…I was gonna do a two week progress report. But I clearly forgot. So how about a three and a half week progress report instead?
