So, yesterday I decided to a) go to the gym before church, and b) check what the treadmill had to say about how fast I should walk and my heartrate and all that. Turns out I was walking too fast! Didn't quite make it to church, though. Someone wanted to see the condo, and then didn't show up on time, and it all turned into a big hassle. Maybe they'll buy it and that'll make it all okay!
So yesterday's stats are: 128 calories; .88 miles; and 25 minutes, walking at an average of 2.3 mph.
This is, of course at "fat burning" speed, whatever that means. I figure when I can get up to 3.0 mph and still keep my heartrate within range, maybe I can move up to some exercise. For now, this is it! I am, however, going to follow Beth's suggestion and speak with one of the trainers about it to see if my calculations are sound. Mostly because I know absolutely nothing about it and am not qualified to make calculations, sound or otherwise!
I was going to go to the gym today, but didn't make it. It's okay, I'll go tomorrow. I refuse to beat myself up until I miss two days in a row.
I must admit that I did have one Pepsi. But only one in the last 10 days. This is a much better record than any other time I've tried to quit, except for when I was pregnant. Again, this shows my willingness to do something for someone else that I won't do for myself. Well, I say times have changed!!! I have already started treating myself better than ever before in my life, so watch out world! Or whatever...
My oldest girls have just turned or are about to turn 27. (One's natural, one's adopted at 23) I'm not sure how I feel about that. I remember so clearly the year I was 27 and it really doesn't seem that long ago. I was so young and pretty and confident then. That's okay, I'm more confident now than I was then.
Well I'm sure you have had enough of reading about me and my isssues for now, so I'll just close with this thought: How are you making a difference?
See ya later...!
