"Recovery jog" - HA!

 Yesterday, I told you that I was scared of today's 'recovery jog'.

Well, yeah.

Five sets of 2 minutes push at 4mph followed by 2 minutes recovery at 2.5mph.  (my normal walking speed is somewhere between 2.8 and 3) I will say, that I was glad of the slow recovery part.  

That was... sweaty.  The porch is at about 57-58 degrees right now.  And I'm sweating.  

I'm gonna keep going.  I wanna be the fit me, not the slob me.  I know, I know.  Don't be mean to myself.  But, I see photos of me, and think, 'Is that what I look like?  I don't like it.'  So I'm changing it.  Not gonna quit.  

Still at it!

 Week 5 begins.  

Well, I guess it's week 6, but I took 'break' when we went to Las Vegas.  I only went to the gym to work out twice.  But I did do several walks.  I didn't skip the week.

So, this week is 3:1 work:rest ratio.  And tomorrow is a recovery JOG.  I don't know how I'll do with that.  I don't normally jog.  I either walk or run.  

I asked John to help me with 'during' photos. I have 'before' photos.  They might be worth putting up.  Not sure.  Is me in a bra and undies worth posting?  LOL

I am going to do the work to get healthier.  It's hard.  My legs ache and so do my arms.  

I'm trying very hard.  

I will say the ozempic has helped, by decreasing my appetite and making some foods taste icky.  

Kinda nervous about thanksgiving, since I don't really know what I'm doing with the chicken I'm cooking for dinner.  

Should be ok.  I'm a decent cook.  But that's a post for another day, so to speak.  

Do you, boo.

Back at it with the treadmill

I finished workout 7 of the second set of 10 in this series.  I believe there are 6 sets.
It was a 'recovery walk'.  I'm not sure how that works, but it seems to be a thing.  I have a 'body weight workout' on the schedule for saturday.  
I'm serious.  I want to be healthy.  See if I can come off a bit of my meds.  I don't know.  But I can only try, right?  

I know food shouldn't be a 'guilty' thing.  But I vaguely do feel guilty when I eat something like a tootsie pop.  Plus that sort of thing tastes less wonderful than I think it's going to.  

I do need to make a point of not drinking too much caffeinated stuff.  I couldn't sleep until about 1am this morning.  Much too late.  Screwed up the whole day.  

I didn't precisely take the Vegas trip 'off' as such.  I did go to the gym twice, and got a 4 mile walk in.  As well as MANY walks around the hotel.
