Today starts another chapter in this training journey - Week 2! Only 152 days until the big race! I know the training time is going to fly by - another reason to value each workout day. To begin the day - time to check the scale. I'm curious to see how much weight I lost in the first week. The answer: 2.5 pounds. I'm happy with that result. I wasn't expecting a big number like 5-10 lbs but instead I'm expecting baby steps in the beginning so my 2.5 lb loss is GREAT.
Next step, the workout plan for the week.

This week is going to be a little stressful at work with trying to get organized before I leave town on business travel. It is going to be interesting to see how this will affect my workouts, energy levels, and weight loss. For now, I just keep smiling because I completed a good workout.
