How is it Monday night already?
Saturday, I went out to an elementary school a few blocks away and did 5 laps (equals 2 miles). I actually jogged 1.5 laps which is great since I haven't really run in a couple of years. Eating was good.
Sunday, I had big plans to do laundry, workout and enjoy the day...that is until the washer started making a very loud noise (it had been making random noises but did the job so I let it be). I went down, opened the lid and smoke came out. So, needless to say, we have a new washer coming....$400 I didn't want to spend right now. I spent the afternoon doing laundry at my sister's house as our new washer isn't coming until Saturday. My hubby and I did get a short evening walk in.
Tonight, my hubby and I went out for an hour long walk which burned 461 calories. An interesting observation I made when looking at my Polar F6 HRM watch was that by keeping my heart rate in the 130s-150s, I burn a higher percentage of fat than if my heart right is much higher like the 170s-180s. Yes, calories are calories, but I'd love to look more into this fat percentage deal...
Hope your Monday treated you well!

Friday, May 4th
So, I exercised today.
I mowed lawn and burned over 500 calories.
Then, hubby and I went on a walk and burned about 300 calories. I may or may not have had a little ice cream on said walk, but it didn't cancel out the walk completely.
It feels good moving. My goal is to do it again tomorrow.
While my challenge isn't what I planned, what really is? The important part is I'm trying.

May 1st
Weight: 246.4 pounds
Didn't get body fat or measurements.
Also, didn't really get to exercise.
My father-in-law, who is dealing with the effects of lung cancer right now, was admitted to the hospital again tonight for dehydration and slight malnutrition. He has ulcers on the lining of his esophagus that make swallowing extremely painful. He's been given different pain meds and through IV they're fine, but once he goes home and takes the pill form, he gets itchy and breaks out in hives. Actually, we almost lost him last week because he was in so much pain he hardly ate or drank and was so extremely malnourished and dehydrated that he was probably days if not hours away from his organs starting to shut down.
So, while some say this is an excuse, my place was there with my husband and mother-in-law. My husband even said no to me staying home to exercise because he wanted me there.
Tomorrow, I'll try again. I did count my calories though today and have them recorded in MyFitnessPal, so I wouldn't call this a complete fail.
