Biked
Thursday, September 30th 2010
I biked 5 miles last night for about 40 minutes. My butt was sore and I was kind of tired and sweaty. Hubby and I are going to go camping in WI in 2 weeks and bringing our bikes, our dog and a dog trailer. We are going to ride on the old train route. I think we are nuts. I don't know how far I can go but I think we are biting off more than we can chew! It is a lot of stuff to haul. Well see.................Anyway, I enjoyed the ride. It was pretty quiet out, not too many cars and I...
Treadmill

Okay, so last night I ran on the treadmill instead of the elliptical. You know, to change up. My goal is to be able to run 1 minute. I practice running and walking, running and walking. I had a hard time of it and only was able to run 1/2 minute at a time, but wow I worked hard and got my heart rate up quickly and kept it up for the whole 30 minutes. I was surprised how fast it came down when I was finished. It felt so good. An intense workout really helps with the stress. The calories reall...Run Away

Well, I guess I can't fly away from my problems, but I can run away from them! I got on that elliptical machine and ran like the wind last night. It felt good. I ran faster than I had ever run before and was able to keep it up for a minute at a time. Does this count as being able to run for one minute, even though it was on the elliptical? Hmmmm. Got my heart rate up to 155 and I haven't done that for a long time. I thought I shouldn't go higher than 150, but it felt ok. I was going up to ...What a Weekend

Okay, so I didn't stick to any plan whatsoever or any semblance of a plan whatsoever. I didn't really overeat, but oh did I over drink! I got drunk at that reunion and my husband had to practically roll me home! I knew very few people there but did connect with a few. It stressed me out so bad that I am now in a real dump. I spent Sunday just trying to recover and had a neighborhood party to go to and my husband stuck the wine in my hand and I drank, again. He must like me when I'm drunk........Dr visit

Saw the doctor last night and of course they weigh you every time! But Walla! I had lost about 2 1/2 lbs since my weigh in on Monday. Of course, that's using a different scale, but I was down 20lbs exactly since I saw the Dr in June. It was a nice feeling. My AC1 (diabetes test) was down to 6.5. It had been over 7. My 22's are fitting pretty well now and I am especially happy about that! I think I gained that 20 lbs over the last winter. So I am kind of back to a starting point of sorts, but...« Previous
