Tuesday evening I went for the same 2-mile loop that I had done twice the previous week. I slowed my pace and finished without walking in under 17min. The best part is that my knee didn’t hurt to badly. Had I not eaten an extra bean burrito before I left I probably would have done better.

Monday, for the holiday, we got together with some cousins and played softball. I was sore all over the next day. I can still feel it now. I used some muscles I haven’t used in quite some time.

Here’s the results that I have received. Make sure and send me your results!

The first week was a rough one for most and several people joined late. There looks to be more action for week two so get jogging. If you actually did run this week and this chart doesn’t show, make sure to email me your results. Do that by the end of each Sunday so I can post the group’s results on Monday.

This is a little embarassing and ugly but that’s the point. Here’s what I looked like at the start of the challenge. I will post the before and after at the end. If you want to do the challenge with me, take a picture now and at the end and I will select the most visually improved participant.

A few people joined the challenge this week and several of those that were supposed to start this week didn’t. So, it’s not too late to join. Just email me and I will let you know what’s next.

The first week of the Stubz Fitness Challenge is over. I hope you all are doing well. I walk/ran a total of 9.5 miles this week. 5.5 of which are walking to and from campus. I lost 1.5 lbs. 1 inch in my chest, 1 inch in my bicep, and a 1/2 inch in my hips and thigh. No loss in the waist, unfortunately. That’s okay, I’m sure it will come. It’s my first place to gain and my last place to lose. I’m pretty excited about these results. I guess it is to be expected since I was at about my all time heaviest at the start of this challenge. I probably would have been lighter had I not eaten a bunch of junk yesterday at a friend’s BBQ and later had ice cream in the evening. Oh well, it’s worth it to enjoy food sometimes. I’m always going to have those moments and that’s why I need to keep the habit of running to maintain a descent fitness level.

Highlights:
1. Went jogging twice.
2. Walked to and from campus 5x
3. Ate reasonably for most of the week

Goals for next week:
1. Jog 3x
2. Replace sugar cereal with protein shake 3x
3. Eat at least one fruit and one vegatable a day
4. Do push-ups and sit-ups at least 2x
