I'm really just trying to figure out how I'm going to work this out. I can't track food for the rest of my life. I did start to get into a groove last week. And I do plan to track monthly but I don't want to track the other weeks and I want to learn to live on my own.
That put me down to 166.2. I am just stuck right around there. I'm feeling like it will never change. So I'm changing.
So, I'm hoping the interval training will be helpful. I'm not working many Saturdays this month, so I'd like to be able to do it on Saturdays for an hour or so with Drew. I think that mixing things up can be the ticket to get off my plateau. And either way I am trying new things.
And totally hating them. :) Isn't that what losing weight is all about?
And all you workout gurus. Currently we're doing 4 minutes of walking and 1 minute of running. Is there a website that I could look to to reasonably increase my pace, or what's the best way to go about it? We initially did 5 minutes of walking and 1 minute of running... but I felt like that was too much rest. 4 seemed good, maybe I'll try 3:30 next time.

Here is a great walk to run program:

It's the one I used when I got started. If it's too easy for you starting out skip the first week or two.
I totally hate running, but had a crazy notion a few years back to RUN a 5K. I did the couch potato to 5K program and it eased me into running. I never thought I'd ever run 3 miles straight, but I did! Give it a try!

Craig is super into interval training - and highly recommends I do it - His non-professional opinion is to walk at least as long as you run. I usually do a minute run, a minute walk. I find if I can get my heart rate back down into the 140s within the minute I am ready to go again. Totally personal training tip from me - who has no background in it. =)
