Tried the half mile again - 5m13s. Didn't improve much, but that's ok. Also, with this track there's a sign posted that says "19 LAPS = 1 MILE" and I'm doing 10 laps. So it's slightly more than a half mile (0.526).
Now that I've got squats out of the way, I'm now including more body/core exercises like exercise ball crunches, assisted dips, and bench press. I was with my trainer at the time on the bench:
ME: You're only putting 25 pounds on each side? That's not going to be enough.
HIM: It should be plenty.
ME: You might want to put 45s on there.
HIM: Can't hurt to go slow, now can it?
ME: *struggles lifting the 95 pounds"
HIM: Put 45s on... you serious? You can't even finish 3x8x95!
ME: Weight loss sucks. I lost muscle. I used to be able to do 135 no problemo.
HIM: Give it time. In about three or four weeks then you can put 45s on.
You do realize once you reach your end goal you're obligated to change your avatar to a DBZ character with a chinchilla head photoshopped on it.
