Day Sixty-Six
First thing this morning, I tried to make sure I got enough sleep. I woke at six and could have gone to the gym, but, since I knew I should not do much there, anyway, and I had not really gotten to sleep before ten, I set my alarm and went back to bed. Not sure I slept anymore, but it was a nice rest.
I was out of the house by seven-twenty, and I did my full abs. It felt good to move my body again. The mirrors at the gym showed me clearly my full rotundity and the reason I need to keep going on this project.
I think that if I am going to alternate cardio exercise and weight-lifting, which that doctor on the video recommended, I am going to need to do it when the gym is pretty empty, i.e. the middle of the night. So, this morning, I just walked on the treadmill. I'll tell you what. Walking 3.0 miles per hour feels like walking 3.5 mph used to feel. I gradually turned up the speed and even did a three-minute jog at 4.0 mph, which used to seem like the slowest ever gait to run. That seems to have gone well. No pain in my knees or anywhere else. I slowed back down and walked until I hit twelve minutes. Not much, but a start. Distance was .72 miles.
At work, I got out a handful of peanuts before I remembered not to eat. I had my cocoa last night at 6:30, so I was done by 7:00. I ate my peanuts at 11:00. I didn't have anything to bring for lunch today, so I brought a can of tuna and some cherries. I told myself that the main thing was to not panic. I let myself have more seeds than I would normally have, and ate my tuna and cherries. I also had a handful of almonds. That was it. I didn't feel like eating my apple. I should probably eat my apple instead of some of that other stuff, but apple always seems to come in last.
I also don't have anything to eat for dinner tonight. I am sure I will find something. Planning on an early night.
I took another walk around my building before work ended. I figure this work-time walk is about five blocks, based on it takes about five songs on my iPod to walk the route, and I walk about a block per song when I walk outside.
Tonight I will be doing six sets of abs. I'll be back to the full nine before long. I am getting myself back. I went half of the day at work without even needing a cough suppressant. Here's to tomorrow!
