I did much better this week. Monday was my last day in Yoga. I like the class, but I don’t know it if it worth the money for the class, and I don’t know if I am just too darn self conscience to be able to go to a class with skinny flexible people. I liked my beginning class, full of people like me.
Tuesday I did my three miles early in the morning. I was working on going a little bit faster than I have been – the same thing on Wednesday. On Thursday I did 4 miles, and I averaged 4.7mph (which is good for me walking). I was happy about that. Friday I took a rest day. My legs were feeling pretty sore by this time in the week and the rest did me good. Saturday I did 6 miles, almost a half-half marathon, and I averaged 4.6mph. That is around a 13 minute mile. I was happy about that. I am finding that I go faster the longer I have been going. It kills me for the first couple miles to go over 4 mph at all. But by mile 6 I was at 4.8 and not even pumping hard. Funny how that works.
So that was my week. I am doing better at sticking to my training. Unfortunately I am still gaining weight like crazy. I am trying to eat well, but a bad meal here and there and I gained 3 pounds last week! Oh well. Hopefully by body will get used to my new routine and pounds will start to go off instead of on.

You've probably heard that muscle weighs more than fat. So there can be a mid-time where the muscle is building and the fat hasn't gone. Hopefully, the so-called fat will GO!
Way to go Manda, sounds like your doing great. I get winded just going up the stairs!
