January 26, 2011

I walked 30 minutes for a total of 1.5 miles. This higher speed is starting to become a little easier. I may try to extend my minutes at this speed. I am still on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey.

January 25, 2011

I walked 1.525 miles today. I took yesterday off, as I came home from work and fell asleep on the couch. I did do my official weigh-in. I lost another 6 tenths of a pound. Slow going, but good results anyway. My total weight loss is 1.2 pounds.

January 23, 2011

I was a little tired today, so I only walked for 20 minutes instead of 30. My distance was 1.045 miles. That places me still on Garden State Parkway headed west toward East Stroudsburg, PA.

January 22, 2011

I upped my speed on the treadmill. I also stayed on for a half hour. My distance was 1.507 miles. It puts me on the I-80 express way in New Jersey, heading for East Stroudsburg, PA.

January 21, 2011

I upped my treadmill speed and kept the same time. It wasn't as hard as I thought I was going to be. I walked 1.245 miles, and felt I probably could have gone at least another 20 minutes. I am still on I-80 heading west toward East Stroudsburg, PA. It the next city of any size on my trip.

January 20, 2011

I took yesterday off, because I was too tired after a church meeting last night. I walked today for 32 minutes. My distance was 1.068 miles. It felt really good. I am going to up my speed.

January 18, 2011

I had to take a couple of days off because of a bad cold. I had my first official weigh-in today. I lost .6 or a little over a half a pound. I walked for 34 minutes on the treadmill for a distance of 1.153 miles. I am now off of the GW bridge and am heading west  on the New JerseyTurnpike. I am heading toward East Stroudsburg, PA. It is about 80 miles away.

January 15, 2011

Another good day. I extended my distance today. I walked 1.070 miles. I have about 1 tenth of a mile before I am off of the GW Bridge. It's about 80 miles to Pennsylvania.

January 14, 2011

I walked 30 1/2 minutes today. Down a little from yesterday. I upped the speed on the tread mill. I walked 1.005 miles today. I have 1.153 miles to go on the GW Bridge. I have official crossed into New Jersey. I crossed my first state line. Many more to go.

January 13, 2011

Today was a great day! I got to around 17 minutes on the treadmill, and I still felt pretty good, so I stayed on for a grand total of 32 1/2 minutes! My distance today was 1.023 miles. Yes! I am still on the George Washington Bridge. I have another 2.158 miles to go on the bridge, and .673 miles until I cross the state line into New Jersey! Today told me that my goal is very much attainable. I feel that with each day I get a little stronger. My distances and times are increasing everyday. I have been watching my diet, and I hope that these workouts will show up on the scale come Tuesday. I have to switch weigh in days because of the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday, as we are not in school.

January 12, 2011

I added some miutes to my treadmill time. I walked 17 minutes instead of 15 minutes. I added .504 to my overall distance. My total is now 1.796 miles. That puts me on the George Washington Bridge headed toward New Jersey. I have a little over 2 miles to cross the  NJ state line. Now to watch the Rebel game.

January 11, 2011

I walked for 15 minutes today, for a distance of .447 of a mile. That brings my grand total to 1.292 miles. It places me on the Major Deegan Expressway. Tomorrow will see me on the George Washington bridge, and it is only 2.3 miles until I cross the state line into New Jersey

January 10, 2011

I walked for 15 minutes at a higher speed, and it wore me out. The treadmill has a 10% incline. For a guy like me, who hasn't worked out in a while, it was hard. I walked exactly half a mile. This brings my total to .845 miles, or in the neighborhood of 4/5ths of a mile. It is slow going now, but the farther I go, the easier it will get. I am now on Jerome Ave. in NYC looking to get onto I-95 and the George Washington Bridge.

January 9, 2011

I took my first steps on my trek today. The treadmill set me at a lower speed because of my weight. I walked for 15 minutes, and went .34 of a mile. According to my map, I am walking away from Yankees Stadium on E. 161 St. Tomorrow is my first official weigh-in after school. I will be weighing in once a week on Mondays.

1-8-11

I put the treadmill together. I tested it a little bit. The trek starts tomorrow!

January 7, 2011

My mother has just agreed to the bet. Tomorrow I plan on starting my trek. I will have to put the treadmill together after my math class tomorrow. Wish me luck!
