I've been getting at least some serious exercise for each of the past four days, including today, and I'm happy with the results. I started on tuesday with a power walk mixed with a few brief jogs, I upped that to four 30 second jogs on Wednesday, and today I did 4 40 second jobs on the treadmill at the gym. I knocked out 40 minutes on an elliptical yesterday, and did 10 minutes on an arc trainer today in addition to my walk/jog. My goal is to start the eight weeks to a 5k plan in two or three weeks. You know you're out of shape when you have to train just to start a very basic training regimen, but I'm seeing progress in how I feel, how fast I can go, how long I can go, etc.
The one, albeit temporary, downside is that I'm sure that I'm building muscle during this, which is slowing my weight loss. Now, the extra muscle is going to keep my loss rate high as long as I keep it, so I'm not complaining, but I need to be aware that my absolute weight loss may slow down a bit.
I signed up for an 8am upper body strength training class on Monday. The trainer told me to bring my training sheet. The one we did 4 months ago that I haven't looked at since, and I've moved apartments and lost 100lbs since we did. I think it's safe to say I'm just going to do a new training sheet.
