Biggest Loser 10 Week Challenge and a 5k Training Program - Week 2

Week 2 - 3/16 - 3/22 Report:

Biggest Loser 10 Week Challenge:

- Lost 2.4lbs
- Ran a 5k at a time of 51:44 down from my 60:33 last June. Very proud! =)
- Drank over six 8oz glasses of water every day
- Did standing push ups once a day when I went to the bathroom from all of the water.
- Three times during the week I drank a glass of water with my food which helps fill the stomach and reduces the amount you want to eat.
- Did the last chance workout on top of my regular workout which is 5 more minutes of cardio on my 45 minutes, and 2 core exercises, 2 lower body exercises and 2 upper body exercises.


March 15 - 22nd: 5k Your Way - Week 2 Training Sessions:

Day 1: Walk for 3 minutes, then jog for 1.5 minute. Do 5 cycles of this for a total of 27 minutes. (DONE on 3/15)

Day 2: Walk for 3 minutes, then jog for 1.5 minute. Do 5 cycles of this for a total of 27 minutes. (DONE on 3/17)

Day 3: Walk for 3 minutes, then jog for 1.5 minute. Do 6 cycles of this for a total of 31.5 minutes. (Moving to next week schedule..) 

I am finding this to be harder than I had thought.  I think that I am really bored with the treadmill/bike routine I have been doing for two months now.  The weather is starting to get better and so I might try to do one of these outside to see if that changes the way that I physically feel while/after doing it.
