I did 1.25 miles on the arc trainer to warm up and stretch my shins a bit.

I ran my first three miles without stopping. 32 minutes.  My best time ever. I walked .25 to cool down and stretch.

I worked my abs and then rode the bike  2.15 miles in 10 min.

I feel pretty good.

Although I have been working out for about thrre straight weeks now and I have not lost any weight and I don't see a diffrence that is disapointing.

Do not worry too much about losing weight. It will eventually be where it is supposed to. When fat is being replaced with the muscle and bones are increasing in density, you often gain weight at first instead. But you are healthier.
