Yes Indeed I'm Walkin'

I made it back to they gym today. I did 25 minutes walking backward on the treadmill—very awkward I'm telling you. And I did 20 minutes walking forward with 10 of those minutes doing various inclines all the way up to 15%. I stretched afterward, and I feel pretty good. Tomorrow, I'll get back to the weights.

I weighed myself yesterday, I'm not doing too well. In fact, I gained three pounds from the last time I weighed myself. I don't know if it will still be the same tomorrow, but this is very discouraging. I did not cheat. For the record, I've done better than I have for a long time. I've been taking the boys for long walks. We did three miles on the Rail Trail on Sunday. So I think that I'm not going to lose any more weight until I'm actually menopausal. There are just too many hormone fluctuations right now. But I'm not giving up. Maybe I can at least maintain.

I do not have calories for yesterday (because I was so discouraged I did not care what I ate.) Sunday's were 1750.

The pups doing great. They love walking. I don't have to go home today because my brother is at home with them.

Today marks three years since Al died.

Making Me Sweat

Well, for being such a good sport and doing the radio show, I got a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble, and a picture of myself and the others folks who were there. That was nice. I didn't expect anything.


They also are making me an ambassador for Healthworks Rehab and Fitness—whatever that means. I think it means to promote the facility, which I will happily do because they have done so much to help me.

I had a personal training session this morning, and the the new workout will really make a difference in my arms. I'm a little worried about my legs. I have some really thick muscle going on there and don't want to lose it. But the new workout is with free weights and it actually makes me sweat. The girl who created the program is an intern in exercise physiology, and she really did a good job. I was pleased.

Also, I need freelance work, if anybody knows of any good gigs. I want to write about health and wellness, but I'll take anything at this point.

I'm being repeatedly kicked off of Blogger, so I'm going end here. (Fortunately I keep saving posts for just such an occasion.)
