Treadmill Miles: 304.3
Pounds Lost: 11

I’ve been sticking to the 1800 calories for the most part and I’m averaging 13 miles per week on the treadmill. I’ve been doing Pilates and weights a couple of times per week. Because I’ve been keeping track of my workouts and weight on excel, I can see what has helped me lose [...]

I have run 122.46 miles since January 30, 2009. I feel very accomplished. I’ve added free weights and Pilates to my workout schedule. Right now I’m using 2.5 pound weights. Basically I’m following these workouts from exercise tv Monday – Friday:
Dynamic Sculpt and Stretch (upper body)- 11:00 minutes
20 Minute Upper Body- [...]
