Wanderings Along the Way
|
I
spent May changing up the way I work out. I heard tell that you
should do a 5 minute warm up then do your weight or circuit
training. Then follow that up with cardio so that by the time you
get to it you are completely in fat-burning mode. Sounded good to
me! I really did see some improvement in my workout and I plan to keep with that for awhile. I am on a month-to-month at my Curves-like gym and I want to see if that will get the scales moving before I consider going to a complete gym like Golds. I am so tempted to go back to regular weight training to get the really great results I saw in the past. But this place is SO close to my house and I love the women I work out with. So my plan is to stay here for June since I will be gone for part of that time. Well....that was the plan. I got a terrible case of strep throat on Memorial Day weekend. Which irritated my asthma. Normally I don't have any asthma problems, except when I have some sort of respiratory problem like a cold or such. But this time, it took me down. It put me in the hospital last weekend. I had round-the-clock meds and they let me out when I showed some improvement. But I eneded up at the doc's office yesterday in distress again. But I guess they gave me some sort of wonder steriod shot and by the time I was in the car I could breathe again! I am so much better today! Wooo Hooo So for the time being, excercise is out until I go back in for a full battery of breathing tests and such at the end of the month. And just to make things worse, the steroids cause temporary weight gain. I was up 8 pounds at the doctor's office. Eight pounds in one week!!!! They told me not to worry about it. Like that would work! LOL I will get over it and just try to keep to my healthy picks and move on past this month. I have to remember that I am on a life-long journey and sometimes we get stuck in detours and traffic jams. This is just one I will have to weight out! LOL |
