5/3
I ended up changing what my plan was for today. My back has been aching all day. So instead of jogging, I went for a good long walk around the neighborhood.
I think I picked the worst time possible to attempt jogging again. My back has ached all week, but I'm not sure if that is because of jogging. It could easily be because I'm sleeping in a different bed. We'll see. I'll be back home in a couple more days. Then we'll try it out again!

I've been away from home since Saturday (house/puppy sitting 45 minutes away from my house), and I've struggled with that. I have exercise classes that I love to go to, but when I'm on my own to workout I just don't do as well. I've been working on push ups, and doing core work every day, but that's about all that I've done for 4 days.
Today, I knew that I was going to need to find time to go by my house for a bit. So I made sure and timed it so that I could go to a workout class at my gym. The class was an hour and a half. The first hour was 100% cardio. And the type of cardio we did changed every 10 minutes. The last half an hour was all core work. I have never done this class before, and it was pretty crazy! Fantastic workout though! The instructor is one that I've gone to a few of her classes, but I've never worked with her on a regular basis. I swear, I think that she's a robot! I have never seen someone with so much energy! She was doing crazy hard stuff and never seemed to even get tired!
The classes that I am able to attend each week are sometimes determined by what days off I have at work. I think that each week that I'm able to I will definitely be hitting this class. I really think that it'll be a challenge for me, which is something that'll be good for me.
Tomorrow I think I'm going to attempt jogging again. We'll see how the back feels after that.
Also - Update on my weight loss goal. I am currently down 3.5 lbs, 28.5 to go!

Already got in a workout for today. I did an hour of Zumba! I LOVE that class! And I've got a great Zumba instructor. It's just a fun way to get moving and burn some calories. I'm sure that I probably look like an idiot 90 % of the time, but I just don't worry about that and have fun!
Update on my back after yesterday's test run with jogging. I have had a few twinges of aching/pain. But honestly, that's not too odd at all! In fact, it's pretty typical. So I don't know if the aching is because of the jog or just the normal ache. I think that I'll give it 2-3 more days before attempting another jog, just to be on the safe side. In the meantime, I need to make sure and do core exercises every day.
Today is actually the last day for over a week that I'll be able to make it to the gym to workout. I'll be able to workout on my own, but no classes. I'll have to see how creative I can get! That, and it's time to search netflix for some good workout videos!

Accountability
So I'm going to take my friend M-Cat's advice. She recommended that every day I post what I did for my workout. That way even if she doesn't see me at the gym, she knows I'm keeping on track. So here goes!
Today I decided to test my back out with a little bit of jogging. I'm not sure if my back is up to it yet or not. I did Week 1, Day 1 of the Couch-2-5k program. Then I'll give it a couple of days to see if my back has problems or not.
It's been so many months since I jogged that I felt like I was back to where I started. I was able to finish the full jogs, but I was really struggling with my breathing.
Hopefully my back responds all right, and I can work back up my stamina. Otherwise, I'll have to wait another couple of months and for now focus on strengthening my back and core.
After the jog/walk, I spent a good amount of time doing some if the stretches my physical therapist taught me.
