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....
