Got on the scale this am and it wasn't good. I am back up to 188.6! This is just totally unacceptable. I have worked too hard. I really have to get myself back on track! So, I am restarting coolrunning.com's beginner running program again.
Beginning stats (from Tanita Body Comp Monitor)
188.6 pounds
38.9% body fat
43.2% water
8 rating of visceral fat
108.2 lbs muscle
5.8 lbs bone
2462 BMR
Will get major measurements in the AM.
The first run (treadmill 2% incline):
5 min warmup walk at 3.6 mph (off the treadmill to stretch)
60/90 sec intervals at 5/3.7-4 mph
total time for 3.1 miles: 44:22
I intend to stick to the schedule, the only changes being that I will do the distance rather than the time and I will do it everyother day to cut down on the time for completion. (shooting for a graduation day of July 14th) I will adhere to their recommendations for the intervals, I will just do it so that I complete the 3.1 mile distance each time.
