This was a good week. I weighed in an was somewhat relieved to have a starting point. I would have liked the starting point to have been under 400 pounds. Deep in my subconscious I knew that I was allot heavier than 400 pounds though. I also taped myself this week. My waist (around the largest part/just above my belly button) was 74 inches, my neck was 20 inches, my chest was 63 inches, and the area around my hips (under my belly/where I wear my pants) was 63 inches.

Here's my week:

I went from 33 minutes at 2.2 mph last week to 35 minutes at 2.3 mph this week walking on the treadmill. I'm over a mile and a quarter now. I have a pain in the center bottom of my left foot. It feels like I have a marble in my shoe when I walk for about 10 minutes. I've researched what it could be on the internet. I have a suspicion it is "planter fasciitis." There isn't really much that can be done for it except move through the pain. It goes away after ten minutes or so, it's not really too much of a burden.

Next week I begin my thirty minute DVD workout with hand weights. I bought two DVD's from Wal-Mart. The first is "The Biggest Loser Bootcamp" fitness DVD. The second is "Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred." I previewed both DVD's and they both look pretty intense. I plan on doing them three days a week along with my five days a week treadmill workout. That should burn some of those pounds off faster.
