Gym today? No, but...

 I got off work early today.  I debated going to the gym today, but John needed a bit of help taking the stuff out of the truck.   He probably could have done it alone, but I did help.  That was fairly strenuous, so not exercise-less today.  More 'lifting' versus 'cardio' but still.  

Yesterday, I did go.  Despite my knee twinging.  However, my foot feels weird now.  I hope I didn't tweak something.  Probably just progressing peripheral neuropathy.  (Fucking diabetes)

I might do some more lifting later today.  I have small weights here.  I'm determined.  

Keep on swimming!

OH!

I have PEONIES!!!!

Gym

 I have resolved to go to the gym to walk 10 minutes on the treadmill after work, since the doctor thinks my heart speed thing is "deconditioning".  

I made this resolution last Monday.  I went Monday, after my doctor visit.  That was the 6th.  I didn't see any reason to go to Pipestone on the 7th, so didn't go then.  I went after work on the 8th.  I mowed on the 9th, so didn't see any reason to go that day.  I worked until 7pm yesterday (the 10th), so didn't go after work because it was late.  I went after work today.  

I really didn't want to do anything after work today.  I was and am tired.  But I went.  I put the treadmill on variety for the incline, because it changed it enough that I wasn't bored. 

I'm really, really trying to be better.  And at least I'm getting some use out of my membership again. :)

Latest from the doctor

 I went for a checkup to see how I was responding to the thyroid medication. 

VERY WELL!

That's how I'm responding to it.  :D

Much glee.

I've also lost about 5 pounds 'officially'.

I also promised the doctor I would take 10+ minute walks daily.  This is to try to bring my freaking heart rate down.  She thinks the rapid rate is caused by 'deconditioning'.  And to fix it, I need to exercise.  Ooookaaaaaay.  I'll do it.   blah.

I stopped at the gym and did a 10 walk on the treadmill.  And remembered why I don't do that, after I got off the treadmill.  Ouch.

I then walked to city hall, to drop off my water bill payment.  20ish minutes.  No ouch.  My body does not like treadmill.  But, I can also do bike or something.  I think I was ok for 5 minutes.  But I can do 10 minutes a day walking.  Easy peasy.

That's about it for today.

Be the best you, that you can be.  
I believe in you!
