A "Newer" Me


I have decided after a many stop and go's of me running; I will be writing about my endeavors everyday, wether it be good or bad. I'm mostly hoping for good. I don't expect these entires to be terribly long. Hopefully though This will help me keep in check for the task at hand. This is the third month I have tired to run/walk, more like a strong walk/jog, in a consistent fashion. The best i've done was just two weeks. In my defense I have been losing weight thanks to the DASH Diet. I've dropped from 260 to 238, my last weigh in prior to today. [I had yet to weight myself when I wrote this sentence.]

My goal is 30 minutes of exercise a day. This can entail jog/walking, elliptical machine with some simple hand free weights and wii fitness. Wii fitness would be a combination of boxing and yoga.
I'm planing on dropping down to under 200 lbs. (I'm 6' 0")

I'll do a weigh in every 6 days or so.
Current weight: 237 lbs
I am using the GPS+ pedometer ultimate.

Today's stats:
I have taken 3833 steps; an equivalent of 1.8 miles.
Duration: 31 minutes and 56 seconds.

I mostly walked the entire route. Kinda lame, I know. I walked/jogged on the nearby snow covered bicycle trail. It was a balmy 34° F. The sun was shining. We are getting more sunlight everyday, as one would hope. Saw a couple of runners out there with me along with a handful of dogs.

For "running" I have a goal I want to reach before I turn back at 15 minutes. At 2 miles there is a Costco's. After that there is a Target down the road from there. At the intersection of the Target, you turn to the left where it follows to the next major road. Half between there are train tracks. Then there is a bakery/cafe at left of where the intersection road and major road meets. I saw the Costco's in the distance today. I'm hoping to reach that by mid march. So a good start, I guess.
