2nd week of Challenge

Monday started the second week of the 21 day before Thanksgiving challenge. This week will focus on 4 mile walks and firming the upper and lower body. The 4 mile that I am doing this week has an average pace of 12:30 per mile. I also combine one or two miles with a "booster" jog.

The upper body firming is super sets working the bicep and tricep as well as the chest and back mucles. The lower body right now uses lunges. I have NEVER been able to do lunges without intense knee pain (from my juvenile Rhumatoid Arthritis). Guess what...HA, I surprised myself and did the whole set of lunges. The only modification I made was not going into the lunge as deep.

I can already tell that I've lost a few inches as my clothes are fitting looser and my arms and legs are feeling a lot more toned. Of course the battery in our scale just happened to die today...so I can't give a "weight" lost yet.

Glad I got my walking in for the day because we go to the RAD Zoo tonight for ECFE.
