Exercise Class

I really wanted to give the Zumba class a try yesterday even though Brice wasn't sure about me doing so, he was right. I ran out of energy so fast I left way to soon. I'm really struggling with the fact that I was picked for this great program and I can't do what we've been asked to do for our health. I'm down to just the treadmill now but at least I can still do that. I still hurt afterwards, but whats new for me these days. My doc appointment is May 6th and I'm really hoping to get some answers. Brice and I usually go camping once each month during the summer months but no hiking at all this year, just flat places to walk.

I watch everyone else and am so happy to see everyone doing so good. I notice shrinking bodies and you all have tons to be proud of. I do enjoy the nutrition classes and all we learn there from Mindy and each other, and the recipes that are shared are great.

Finally went to the gym

I have only been walking as any more makes me sore and weak and I have really missed working out at the gym. I went on the treadmill this afternoon and it felt good. I am ackey already and will probably hurt during the night. I'm determined to be at the zumba class saturday but know I won't be doing anything else for quite a while after that. The longer I go without exercising, the better I feel, almost.

Next doctor

The specialist I saw today is sending me to a neurologist for my muscles. Even the cardio is getting hard to do and I'm starting to hurt in my muscles. I couldn't do the ball sit ups yesterday either because of pain. Ok, so I'm really depressed and frustrated that I can't do the exercises. I really felt so good starting out in this program and was so grateful I was chosen. My goal now is to be able to at least do the 5K in May, even if I just walk, with my sweet husband by my side of course.

Monday Workout

I got 20 minutes on each of the three machines, not what I started out doing, but I can do these.

Friday's workout

I did 80 minutes of cardio today. I miss the strength training but this will work. With the warmer weather, Brice and I went for a walk yesterday. We love to go walking and will start going more now. There are some paths where we live and a park to walk to and around.

I can't believe we are half way through already. This is a great program and I will miss the classes and friends we have made. It's so great to see how good every one is doing and the encouragement we each give each other. I think the best part of the program is the encouragement and support we share.

On a break

So I'm not doing the strength training for a while to see if I don't get weak. That's my favorite part of the exercising so I'll really miss it. I hope the weather clears up soon so I can go walking. Tomorrow is our 3 year anniversay and we're heading to Midway to just relax, and walk. We both love the out doors.

Missed Nutrition Class :(

I worked out great Wednesday and didn't have much problems. I feel weak all the time now. So I decided to work out Thursday with both cardio and strength training. I think maybe I need to lower the weights even more as I hurt so bad all over the whole night Thursday that I didn't get much sleep and couldn't make it to the nutrition class. I took it real slow Friday since I still hurt. I will just do what I can today, just cardio and leave it at that. I also noticed if I don't keep my tracker with me, I don't monitor my food as well, and tend to maybe just cheat a little, but that little makes a huge difference. Popcorn is good in moderation.
