I think it is a great idea. My next progress report won't be as lengthy, but here it is.
I did some exercise in December, but it was mostly cardio if any. Also my eating was very poor then, so I just focused on starting to get my body moving. In January, I refocused by getting back to doing my exercise in the morning before work. I find that I stick to it better by doing my cardio in the morning. I did very little, if any, strength work.
I'm always reading on this board how people write down their workouts, weights used for exercises, etc. This inspired me to come up with a rotation of videos/equipment that I have. I am so proud of myself for sticking to it and adjusting when I felt I needed to. I've also improved my eating. I can only do this my measuring and logging. It is still far from perfect and I fear it will never be because I am a foodie. I love food.
My progress for the two weeks that I've started this routine has been a 3 pound weight loss. I may or may not lose weight every week. For instance there was no scale movement last week but when I weight in this morning it was down 3 pounds. I've lost inches in my mid section. I don't know how many cause I didn't measure, but I can tell.
I discovered my leg muscles gain strength very easily. I discovered that I didn't die when I pushed up the level on my elliptical. In the past I absolutely would not have any soreness before I started to lift weights again. I pushed pass this way of thinking by deciding if it was actual pain or was I babying myself.
My upperbody is weak. I'm working to concentrate more on the muscle when I lift.
