I feel like I can barely move today.

Today Candace and I went to the gym a little later than normal because neither one of us wanted to get out of bed this morning. I think my body was trying to tell me something but did I listen??? No, mostly because I never listen to my body anymore. It normally is telling me to grab a piece of pie and watch some great programs on the Discovery channel rather than be active. Yeah I still fighting the urge to be lazy, but I think i am winning that battle.

Anyways, we go to the gym and first the recumbent bikes are acting up. In order to do my 30 minutes (including cool down) I chose the weight loss setting. Part of this is I need to hold on the sensor bar so that the bike knows what my heart rate is... well today it says that I have no heart rate, and if I did have a heart rate it was much slower than I know it was at.  It said that I was only at 110 BPM, when I was sweating and panting.  Stupid bike. Candace was also having issues with her bike, so I know technology wasn't just singling me out today.

We then went over to the elliptical machine and it seriously kicked my ass today and I have no earthly reason why it did. I set up the normal training program but my legs felt like jello no more than 15 minutes in the program. I continued with it for the entire 30 minutes but I left the gym feeling weak and exhausted.  I know you should leave the gym feeling a little tired but not like you just ran 30 miles trying to get away from zombies or something.

After we got home I used our Wii fit program and I barely had the energy to stand and do the weight and BMI exam.(I lost another 1.1 lbs since the last time I used it 2 days ago Yeah!!) To be honest I think it was all water weight because I must of drank 2 quarts of water when I got home.  After a healthy lunch and a shower I felt a bit better. I think that this Saturday I will only go on a short 0.8 mile walk and otherwise just relax.  I think all my exercising is catching up to me.  I just need to push through it though come Monday if I am beaten about by the gym. I think I am going to take an Advil now and chill for the rest of the evening.  Until later....

  1. Thanks so much for watching Bdogg and taking him on a little walk. He does love them! And yes... like Lisa said in her comment, definately count your extra calories and equate that to the extra work out. If the snack is worth it, work it off in excercise. And allow youself one cheat day a week but be sure not to cheat until that day...it will give you something to look forward to and inspire you to be good on your non cheat days. Of course...I know it sounds easier than reality.
