Progress the first week
So I started this plan on 2/19. My exercise at that point was the lifting (I'll post more details on that another time) and walking 5 miles / day on my treadmill. I did the 5 miles two days in a row and then my tendonitis I had in my left foot about a year ago flared up. Took a day off and then I was alright for the rest of the week.
One thing I know I do need to do is get some new shoes. At the podiatrists recommendation, I went to a running store here in Dallas at the time and had them fit me for some good shoes based on how I walk, etc. But that was a year ago and I'm sure they need replacing.
In any case, I did great that first week and lost 7.5 lbs. Of course a lot of that was likely water weight.
