REMOTIVATED

Jul 14, 2005 16:38



Somehow, I got removitated.  I feel really good today.  I exercised.  Not the full Richard Simmons, but I used weights and did a bit of Super Slow for 15 minutes... sweat pouring down my face!  YEAH!  HOO HA!  I decided to have a fruit day today.

Back in high school and just after it, I followed Fit For Life, by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond.  They advocated occasional all fruit days.  I'm doing that today.  So far today I've had an avocado and a bunch of cherries.  I don't know if they'd have advocated avocados on the all-fruit days, but it is a fruit.  :o)

I walked on the treadmill for just a few minutes, probably less than 5 while I was waiting for Richard to start.  I was walking really fast, with short strides.  It got my heart going really well.  Oh, and I took my blood pressure for the first time in about a week--before I exercised.  It was 116/69 with heart rate of 69 bpm.  I took it again right before I started exercising, but with the wrist monitor.  It said 122/72.  Both of those readings were motivational.

Addendum: I did lose 1/2 pound yesterday! That could be some of it. I'm the lowest since starting WW about 3 months ago. I'm really hoping to push off another few pounds by Monday. I'm hoping to be in the 350s by surgery. I'm really trying hard right now.
