Monday's Fat Stats

Every Monday we will be updating our measurements and weight lost, and posting our workout schedules for the week. I suppose you might want to know our actual weights, but to bad, so sad! Those numbers are between us and God, and you'll have a better chance of finding out from Him then you will from us.

So, here's what we will tell you -

FGS is 5'3" and has an ultimate goal of losing 50 lbs. Here are her beginning body measurements:

MT is 5' 10" and has a goal of losing 30 lbs, here are her numbers:

Each Monday we will post our latest (and hopefully smaller) fat stats and the amount of weight we have lost since the previous week. Now, we are fully aware that this doesn't happen by magic. We have a plan, and we will let you know how well we have followed through so that you can see how that affects our results each Monday.

Since the ultimate goal is to run a half marathon, the most important thing at this point is training for that. We have some smaller (read: shorter) goals before then though, the first being the local 5K on April 10th. To start with we are going to try out the Couch Potato to 5K plan. Here's what the first week entails:

Workout 1

Brisk five-minute warm up walk.

Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and

90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Workout 2

Brisk five-minute warm up walk.

Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and

90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Workout 3

Brisk five-minute warm up walk.

Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and

90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

We will also do 3 days of cross-training and have one "rest" day each week.

As far as eating goes, we will probably definitely need to start lining out some menus, etc. But for now, just trust us - we are doing our best to eat healthy!
