Wednesday's exercise

I worked out Monday, skipped yesterday, and was able to work out cardio today. It feels good to work out but it wares me out. Should be interesting to do the full workout tomorrow with the strength training. I can't believe we are half way, it's going by way too fast.

Upsetting Day

I had to stop exercising today as I got so weak I couldn't do any more. The more I exercise the weaker I am getting which is really upsetting. I love this exercising and how it has made me feel. I'm taking Saturday off of every thing, Brice made me promise. Hopefully Monday will be a better day.

Going way too fast

The time is going way too fast and before we know it, we'll be done with the challenge, but I don't want it to end. I'm having fun and feeling better and actually exercising like I've always told myself I wanted to, but never started on my own. I'm already committed to continuing the exercising and eating habits after our 100 days.

Doing Better

Mindy's class this morning was really good. I enjoy hearing others meal ideas and finally found the wrap and bread everyone has been talking about. I'm excited to try the recipes.

I was able to exercise today, first time since last Saturday. I took it easy, but it sure felt good. I think I'm getting addicted to exercising; I felt so guilty this week when I couldn't.

I'm having a sugar craving right now and have to be careful I don't go for the breads. I need to make a dessert I can have and freeze it in small pieces to take care of my sugar craving. Any one have any good sweets they make?

No new, good new?

I had the test today and the treadmill was really hard. I made the 10 minutes, but afterwards I was totally wiped out I slept several hours on the couch today. My blood pressure went down to 84 over 60 and they had to give me half a bag of salt saline to bring it back up. So, I don't think this is my heart where I need stents, but it's obviously something. I get wiped out head to toe. Not sure I'll do much of a work out tomorrow after work. I haven't heard anything back from the doc about the test, so hopefully it's ok but that means more tests to find out what it is. life goes on

Break

So I have to take a vacation from exercising. I am going in tomorrow for a thallium test. I have been having trouble with weakness and dizziness and it became extreme Monday. Went to the doc and he said I have too many red signals that it may be time for another stent. I thought having 4 was enough. I MISS EXERCISING!!!! It has become a relief for me and I feel so good during and after my work outs. I feel like this is going to set me back now.
Brice will be by my side the whole time, he is so wonderful. I'll post when I find out if I have to go in for a stent. It would be Friday and I don't want to miss the nutrition class, or the exercise class Saturday. I do not have time for this right now in my life.

Forgot to post

I've been so busy, I forgot to post for a while. I keep telling Brice I'll slow down, but that just doesn't happen. I'm also in the Master Gardner program and we need 40 hours community service, and with the weather warming up, those hours are vamping up. I need to try and figure out how to get this all in right now. I am missing exercising some nights and I feel so quilty. I have been struggling with my meals, eating more when I get so weak, that the weight is not coming off. I am still having a hard time exercising because I get so weak. I tried the eliptic bike we have here at home after work today, and wow, it is so much different than at the gym, and wore me out fast. I barely got 30 minutes in, and that was on low. It is frustrating that I am still weak and have to eat so much to be able to exercise. GRRR. Ok, sorry for the grumpling, just one of those days.

feeling great

That was a fantastic exercise class. I felt good the whole time and not worn out and ready to go again. It was fun working out with friends.

Proud Grandma

I missed my exercising and didn't follow my eating too good as I spent the day with my daughter as she gave birth to my new grandbaby Aedea Li Xie. Everything else can wait, I'm happy. I'll get back on track tomorrow.

Another day of exercise

I have really been struggling with this food allotment. Since I get up around 3:45 am I start eating early so I am running out of food before I run out of day. I actually had to eat more food today than I am supposed to coz I actually feel like I am starving myself. This is so frustating and I am having a hard time being so weak at work. I do ok on the weekends when I wake up later. I'm not sure what to do coz it defeats the purpose of watching what I eat when I have to eat every 2 hours. I have to eat before I work out or I have no strenght also. GRRRR!!!
