I wonder just how accurate that calorie counter is.  We purchased this treadmill earlier in the year and I only just realized that I could enter my weight prior to walking.  Before the calories burned was much less.  Now that I enter my weight it's a little higher.

I went to exercise and the body and brain just were not in it. I think not enough sleep last night.

I did 21 minutes on the bike, five on the treadmill, five on the elliptical, then ran two laps in the work out room, danced a little, then swam twenty laps in the pool. I had to talk my self into the last ten laps.  I skipped the hot tub and took a shower.  Lordy, the water in the shower did not warm up until five minutes or so into the shower. The gym scale says I am down nine real pounds.  From 243 to 234. Not bad for an old woman and three months of exercise three days a week.

The doc told me my potassium was up and the albumin was low. I told him it was probably because I was working out three days a week. He stopped, said what? How long have you been working out? I said about three months.  He just looked at me.  I think I surprised him.

That is great news, Kitkatz!  9 lbs is alot in my book!  Actually, I'm UP 9 lbs.  I've said it before and I'll say it again - I HATE PREDNISONE!

It sounds like you had a good work-out, actually.  That's alot of stuff you did!  I especially like the "danced a little".    :pics;  please....   ;)

My children just ran the 26 mile marathon. They have run 3 of them.   I walked from the car to the finish line to watch them "run across".  Boy was I tired!!!

I hate running!

I walked tonight, but only made it 15 minutes before my incision starting hurting.  ???   I stopped at 15.  I'll walk again tomorrow.  Sometimes your body just says "NO".

YEsterday it was:
ten minutes on the elliptical
an hour with the trainer
Twenty laps swam in the pool

The weather is getting cold for California. I have to be crazy to go into the pool. But it was heated and felt pretty good.  Just had to scurry out out of the wind when I got out.

Thursday I worked out an hour with the trainer in the pool. The clouds and rain cleared out enough for a pool work out.  Thank you Cloud Gods! My trainer is going back to school, so I get a new trainer in January.  :stressed;
I did seven minutes on the bike before going in the pool and seven minutes waiting on Victor to change. So 14 total.  Also got into the hot tub and soaked for fifteen minutes. AAAHHH! Warm!
