I Don't Feel Like I'm Having a Heart Attack
Well, I've made it to the gym two days in a row. I set up two more personal training sessions—one for next Monday and one for the following Monday. I'm going to get back into working out, even if it kills me.
I was working out on an elliptical this morning, not paying much attention to the heart rate monitor, when I look down and it says 175. I'm thinking, "That cannot possibly be right." So I took my hands off of the handles and wiped them. Grabbed them again, and the new reading was 131. OK. So I know that my heart rate didn't drop that fast in a matter of five seconds. But it scared the pee out of me for a minute—well, not literally. The monitor obviously doesn't work when your palms are sweaty. I think I would know if I were experiencing tachycardia. But you never know.
Beware if you take over-the-counter diet pills. In this article, F.D.A. Finds ‘Natural’ Diet Pills Laced With Drugs, the agency says that some of the ingredients can be deadly. So be careful.
Well, I have a lot to do today. I am hoping that I'll be writing that I made to the gym again tomorrow.
