Soooo...long time no see. A couple of things. I've found it hard to get back into the swing of working out after my bout with giardia. This is, of course, a lame excuse. It's not as if I've used my time wisely, or even for resting. Instead I've hemmed and hawed every day before throwing in the towel. One day I even started on the treadmill and GOT OFF. Lame. I'm not sure if it's an exercise rut (I get those) or just a lack of motivation. Some of it may be frustration. It's hard to backslide when you've been upping the ante every week and suddenly you're struggling to do 2/3 of what you did two weeks ago. Regardless, it's not good. When I don't work out I don't get much accomplished. I feel tired and sluggish all day. But today I got back on the wagon.
Running: 39 minutes/3.6 miles
Spinning: 40 minutes/13+ miles
Weights: 60 minutes (full body)
I did not feel especially tired today but did not feel great, either. My heartrate was a little higher than I'd like while running even though my pace was lower than usual.
I've ordered exercise videos. Not sure how this will work but I got one for yoga to encourage me to get a little more stretching in and a kickboxing one--madness. Also, my Wii Fit just arrived. When in doubt--consume! I will review the Great Fitness Hope of America at some point. After it tells me I'm fat.
