And in 6 weeks, I'll be . . .

So I have completed one week at the YMCA.

The first day I went, I only did one set of 10 reps on each muscle working machine (there are about 10 of them). I had to use only the non-hand moving stepper and walk relatively slow to keep my heart rate in acceptable rate. I didn't have the energy to do my "warm down" or stretches after working out.

A week later, I did 15-20 reps on each machine. I used the skier (with active arm movements), still kind of slow. I "warmed down" and spent five minutes on the stretcher afterwards. Oh, and I've lost 5 pounds in the last week. Considering I can feel the muscel regernation, I am pretty excited about it.

On the way to the car, I got to thinking . . .

If I loose five pounds a week for six weeks, I'll . . .

Still be fat.

Guess I better think longer term.
