Well it has been a little bit since my last post. I am running every other day if possible if not then I run the next day. I don't feel like I have to follow a set schedule for running. So far, I have done about one body weight workout a week. My food journal seems to be hard,I want to wait till the end of day to record my food, which is not working well.
-
well first check in slash update... My food journal I is so far telling me things I know deep down,I like sweets. if they are in my house I will eat them. I try and not have any but it's not up to me most off the time. My parents and in laws live to give my family left over candy from holidays. I had started to run a little before the challenge. As of today I went a little over 2 miles running and walking. I don't know how much I am really running but that doesn't matter right now. as for the weight training, :-(. I have tried it for 3 challenges so far and I don't know if I should try something different our try again for 6 weeks. I want to do some exercise to go with my running.

Hello all, this is another attempt at this 6 week challenge. I will finish this challenge being able to run or jog a mile. I will finish this challenge starting a habit of beginner body weight exercise. My major goal is starting a journal, to record food intake and exercise.
-
Well, I am of to a slow start. I have finally completed my first workout. I don't know how I an going to walk a mile everyday with the temperature dropping, I would love advice on this. Eating seems to be the easiest thing so far.

Hello all, I am a family man trying to find time to work out and get a tiny bit healthy. Main goal: To walk 1 mile outside of work, everyday. I want to work my way up to 5k, but starting the exercise habit is more important. Second goal: Starting beginners body weight workout. Food goal: Adding one cup of vegetables, everyday. Life goal: doing one thing to fix up my house. I bought an old house and it needs lots off work, and I am not a handyman. Not sure if this counts as a life goal and I don't know which one thing I will do yet. Let's do this, yay!

After this first week, i have discovered some new things about myself. Being the family man that i am, i am finding it hard to exercise at night after work. This next week I am going to focus on doing everything in the morning before work... I get up early enough. Another thing is, in my attempt to minimize my workout time. I am not warming up properly. At most I am walking before and after my runs, but that is all my warm up and cool down that i do for everything.

Well I finally made it back to post about my first week. The hundredpushups.com is what inspired me to try to do it. I am doing a modified coach to 5k. So right now the hardest thing is the ten o'clock bed time, but I have five more weeks. Thanks for all the encouragement.
-
Well, this is my second attempt. My main quest is to run 5k. 1. I am going to retry bodyweight workouts. 2. I will aim to do 100 push ups. 3. 10 o'clock will be my new bed time, so i will have 8 hours of sleep

Second Report Waking up: I was able to get out of bed today at the right time. I think this is a good start.Workout: CheckMile: two days ago, since I didn't get up early, I was not able to do it. Today i was able to do a 15 minute mile, with fast walking and some jogging.Veg/Fruit: I had apples and salad these past few days. so my workout is 3 sets : pushups squatsrowslungesplanksjumping jackswith warmups at the beginning and stretching at the end.
-
I don't think its the alarm that I'm having trouble with, I think its more of the comfortable bed that is warm. thanks, that is a good idea. though, I am on a budget.

First Report Failed at getting up at 5:30. Its early in the challenge so its ok.Workout - CheckI am just walking/running for 30 minutes. I walked for 21 minutes and jogged for 9 minutes.I had a salad and an apple today. Yesterday, I had an apple. Overall, I think this is a good start.

This is my first challenge. I have been on this site before and have wanted to to challenges before but I have never been consistent before. I picked adventurer because I am just starting out. My goals: 1 - Wake up by 5:30, I have a kid and this would let me have more time in the day for her and other things. 2 - Be able to do the beginner strength workout, since I am on the weak side. Then be able to do the warm up without being tired for the workout. 3 - Run a mile. Edit If I can do it before the end then: Run a 13 min mile 4 - Eat more fruits and vegetables at meal times. I am a meat and potato kinds of guy. I plan to do strength one day then walk/run the next, and go back and forth
