Week Two - Progress Report

     Week two.  That phrase has a nice ring to it.  I am still sticking with the program and I have seen some good progress.

I am still walking every day and I am trying not to let the "real world" change my focus or commitment.  I still have a very long way to go - but the hardest part is getting started.

I followed through with my workout at the gym on Thursday - without the trainer.  I did the complete program the trainer laid out on Tuesday - and think I performed pretty well.  There are a few exercises that I have some questions about form - but I will address them with him on Monday.  I think I really only need him once a week - to keep me on track.

As long as I thoroughly stretch before the workout - I seem to do pretty well.  The difficulty comes 12 to 24 hours later when I can really feel the muscle soreness and fatigue.  Hopefully this will get better as I continue with the program.  So far - so good.

So - I lost 6 pounds this week.  My clothes are fitting a little bit better - but you certainly don't see a difference in the photos.  I am hoping that as I get to week Six - I can at least see some difference in muscle tone.  Maybe I should just say SEE muscle tone...

OK,  my showings are done for today - and I am heading to the gym to stretch and workout.  I will then warm down with a three mile walk.  Keep your fingers crossed - I can use all the moral support you can provide.
