I signed up for SELF magazine’s Drop 10 in 5 weeks, I guess 2 weeks prior, because they say I’m in week 3 online. Anyway, I officially started this week with week 1. My boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend, Shannon, decided to join me in this 5 week adventure. It started on Tuesday, because Monday Pete and I had been on the road. Of course weight and measurements should be taken to see the progress at the end. I just took the measurements yesterday (at least I got it in the first week).
Cardio Day 1 was warm up 5 min. Then using a scale of 1 to 10 walk/jog/run at the suggested scale (applies to all cardio days).
- Sprint 8 seconds at Level 8.
- Recover 12 seconds at Level 5.
- Repeat for 15 minutes or approximately 1 mile. Cool down.

This became 1.85 miles in 31.49 minutes for me. I had to take a couple breaks, but I got through it!
Strength Day 1 is 8 easy toning moves doing 12 reps and repeat. I used 3 lbs weights when necessary.
- Seesaw Sculptor
- Booty Lifter
- Side Slimmer
- Pick-Me-Up Press
- Total Transformer
- The Mermaid
- Kick-It
- Super Plank (we couldn’t figure out how to do so for both days did “girl” push-ups. Saw there is a video and will attempt next week.)
We got through it, other than the Super Plank modification and the next day my thighs were so sore!
Cardio Day 2 – of course start with a warm up.
- Sprint 90 seconds at Level 8
- Recover 3 minutes at Level 4
- Repeat 6 times for about 27 minutes, and then cool down.
This ended up being 2.29 miles in 46.50 minutes from warm-up to cool down. Not too shabby. Pic is of me before heading out.
Strength Day 2 was again the same moves as above, but I used 4 lbs weights this time. It was slightly more difficult as my legs still hurt from constant working out (and well if you know me, this doesn’t happen often…really plan to get through all 5 weeks). We did get through it, and afterwards, felt our legs did not hurt as much as before.
Cardio Day 3 was this morning and we went in a different direction and I think our warm-up was about 5 minutes (normally its been longer).
- 2 miles at a Level 6 any way you like – and then cool down.
I ended up doing about 3.3 miles total in approximately 56 minutes. I only timed the 2 miles this time and had to estimate the warm-up and use Shannon’s time to estimate the rest. As I went and met her and finished her two miles with her and then we went home…so it got complicated. 
Happy thing – I completed the 2.01 miles in 30:31.5 officially by my MotionX-GPS lite app. So ecstatic about that!
Unhappy thing – I have to change my eating to go back to less carbs and more veggies, as I am gaining weight instead of losing this week, even with the added exercise.
Next week strength workouts stay the same, we can up weights if we like. Cardio keeps increasing in time or distance…until week 5 we do 6.2 miles (10k). Woo! Here’s to completing this!!!
