Second week and still at it....

Ok I'm starting my second week and I can see that this is going to be good for me. I can drink more water and walk faster and do more on the machines. I have made my mind up to ease back on the tred. I was doing four miles at 4mph on incline of five but my left knee started to hurt and my ankle.

so I will be doing 2 miles on the tred and half hour on the machines to see if that helps. My mind is willing by body is not.... At age 53 I have to let myself know that I am not a kid any more..lol I have lost four pounds but now I'm just sitting at the same, guess I'm building muscle. Soon I hope to see the scale drop. I also hope my knee gets better and my ankle stops hurting when I walk. Have a great day, here in Florida it is so nice. I only wish I did not have to work today and could get outside. Smiles and hugs to all. Diann

Hi, Diann! Glad you are enjoying your workouts. You're really doing great & congratulations on those 4 lbs. lost!

What part of Florida are you from? I lived in Central & So. Florida until I was 17.

Hope to read more of your posts,

Where in FL are you Diann? I'm in FL too. Haven't we been having the most awesome weather? I'm getting out of my winter slump even. Keep up the good work!

Hi Diane, I am so like mad! I understand you have been walking like mad but 4 pounds is awsome. Are you following any eatting guides, or diets?

Keep up all that good work! But make sure you don't overdue with that aching knee and ankle. I've got some aching hip joints and knees too especially when I up the speed on the treadmill a little too high. By the way Welcome to the Board!
