Exercise - 6:25 PM - 35 min on treadmill, speed varied 3.1 to 3.3 MPH, 3.5% incline and then lowered to 2.0% (was getting a cramp in my side), 249 calories, 1.89 distance.

Note - wt this morning 195 - grrrrrr here we go again, trying to get out of the 190's and my body is fighting me all the way! I jump from 192 to 195 and keep bouncing.

It was hard getting up this morning, but I didn't want to blow the challenge the first day and I don't think I can fit my exercises in this evening so I knew I had to get up. I can push myself harder next time on the lbs I lifted. Having horrible shoulder pain so didn't push it too hard, I don't want another injury like I had before.

I'm proud of myself for getting out of bed at 5:00 am and keeping my promise to myself, I will need to stay focussed in order to finish this challenge. Day 1 completed, and 83 more days to go.
