SITTING LESS AND JOGGING MORE

I thought things would get easier but it was harder.

Last night I slept for five and half hours and had an early morning meeting.

I jogged for 20 minutes (P1: Personal trainer plan program 1) and I covered 1 mile.
This time my heart rate went up to 174 and I was feeling a little out of breath so I slowed down.
First 10 minutes were hard and I felt like stopping but I didn't, instead I slowed down for few minutes. Towards the end I was feeling some pain on my lower back. But it went away once I slowed down. I need to work harder but I also must listen to what my body is telling me. I guess it must have been my lack of sleep.

This is my typical day

I am only 48 but as I reflect on my daily activities, I realized that i do very little walking or jogging. Most of my daily activity consist of "SITTING and SLEEPING."
  1. Drive to early morning meeting - sit for 10-30 minutes in the card
  2. Meeting -sit for 2-2:30 hours
  3. Drive back -sit for 10-30 minutes
  4. Hospital visit - sit for 30 -45 minutes
  5. Visiting time -stand or sit for 15-30 minutes
  6. Driving to place to visit with people - 35-60 minutes, return.
  7. Visiting -20-35 minutes
  8. Evening meeting - sit for 2-3:30 hours
  9. Study -2-4 hours
  10. family time - sit for 2 hour
  11. Personal time -sit for 1 hour
  12. Driving to places and other activities -sit 1 hour
  13. Sleep - 6-7:30 hours
I am hoping that my daily 20 minutes jogging will make a difference. It's a start.
