Day 32

Shout out to my Mom and Penny. The only 2 people who actually read my blog and comment. Y'all have been very supportive and the comments are helpful. I read through them on tough days. I just sold back my books after I confirmed my A's, so I have some extra cash...I would normally buy y'all a beer or something, but that wouldn't be very fun for me. So instead I'm shouting out.

So my non scale victory of the week. After I took my physio final, I finished so fast, I decided to go to the gym for just 26 minutes, no weights or ab exercises ( I had to study for an assessment exam this morning). I always push the random button on the treadmill and this time I got a session that had almost no incline except a couple of inclines of only 1-2 (very low for those who don't treadmill). I was working hard, especially since it had been about 5 days since my last workout and I had the speed cranked due to the lack of incline, but my heart rate was only around 138 (which is too low for me, my aerobic zone is higher)....ssooooo I decided to run the last minute and a half. I cranked the speed up to 4.5...then 4.7...then 5.4 and I did it. I got my heart rate up to 170 and I was breathing hard, finally, and it didn't hurt to run. I was very happy. Now, all I have to do is get some new shoes.

I also made an appointment today for my first massage. It will be next Thursday. I figure that will all the free time I'll have once schools out, I'm going to exercise more, so I'll probably need it by Thursday. I'm excited. I'm expecting to enjoy every minute (all 60 minutes) of it.
