It has Begun...again...
Jan 23, 2012
It has begun!! I know it is not much but to me 1 pound is amazing since I haven't lost anything in about 3 months. Finally this cardio stuff is starting to pay off. I think I'm going to finally start losing it again. This makes me extremely happy and more motivated than ever to get back to the gym! I have been going pretty much 3 out of the 5 days a week for sure, but I took a week off when I got sick and now I'm going back, and hitting the sauna also. Which I have never been able to do before without crawling back out within 2 minutes. Now I'm sitting in there for at least 20 minutes or more relaxing and loving the feeling of the heat on my body. Getting rid of all those icky toxins. I wonder if I could handle a steam room. That is something I have never, ever been able to enter one without having problems, but I'm dying to try it now.
I have made it up to 50 minutes for cardio now and I have been able to get my heart rate up to 150-170 beats per minute without being light headed, that in itself is a miracle to me. As it is, I have now got more motivation to continue on this trek! I'm hoping that with this added exercise I will be able to jog one day. Not that I have to run a marathon or anything like that but have enough endurance to play soccer with my nephew and niece when she gets older. We'll have to see how things pan out. I would love a baby in a few years also. Since I can't try for one until after 2 years have gone by, but it will be hard. I don't know if it will be a possibility since I'll be 37 by then. One can always hope.
