It was a long day again today. I have to admit that my diet was truly horrible. I had pizza for a snack, hot pockets for lunch and McDonalds for dinner. Is it any wonder I am carrying around an extra 100 pounds?
But on the up side I did make it back to The Rush. When I was there on Thursday I left a message with the fitness coordinator to give to my fit coach with my name number and request that we change our appointment from this morning at 9am to this evening at 5pm. Reason being that the kids have another fit class at 4:45 and I didn't want to make two trips. I never heard back from her. I should have called her cell or sent her a text message. But I'm really not that fond of calling people. I kind of dread it. So I didn't pursue the message I left, assuming that it was given to her. It wasn't. I showed up tonight and she was booked for the rest of the night.
So while the kids were in their fit class I went did some cardio. First I hopped on a strange step machine that moves side to side. I don't know the name of it, but I bet it targets your waist and thighs if you stick with it. It hurt my knees, and I didn't want to push it, so I went back to the treadmill and walked for 26 min. I was going to go for a solid 25, but 14.5 min into my walk all of the kiddies filed out of the work out room. I assumed that their class was over early and shut off the tread mill to check the kids into daycare. Turns out a couple kids had to go to the bathroom, and they stopped class to take the kids over to the daycare center. Once they went back to the workout room, I got back on the treadmill for another 12 minutes. I finished up just before the kids finally got out of their class, so it was pretty good timing. My legs are fine today. No fire or limping walk. My lower back feelt like it was going to slide out of place from about an hour before we went in until about 1/2 hour ago. Seems fine now.
While I was on the treadmill, even though I was going at an embarrassingly slow speed of 2.5 miles an hour, I worked up a sweat and felt really good. My right hip and knee were protesting. Hopefully it's just a fat thing and once they get used to moving around, and I lose some weight it will stop hurting. My plan is to slowly build up to a jog in a couple weeks. My heart rate is up around 120. I don't want to injure myself or overdo it so that I can't exercise.
Despite the food debacle, at least I got active today. Tomorrow is another day and I'll try to whip my appetite into shape, practice a little bit of restraint. Get used to the word NO!
Still no access to the nutrition section of the website from The Rush. Have to say they are not impressing me there! I talked to my fit coach on Wednesday, the help desk Wednesday night, and the guy that signed me up Thursday. Still nadda. I need to call the help desk again and stay on the phone until I get access.
