Extra Fries


Yeah, ok, I know, I like the joke.... extra fries!

Yesterday AJ had to go to a meeting so I dropped him off and went to the gym. I'm still recovering today.  I ended up going to bed and sleeping asap at 730pm last night.  Sad thing is, I want to go again today because I know AJ needs the exercise too.  Though today is NOT going to be like yesterday for me.  Not sorry I did so much, but I think I overdid it for me.

What I did was:
25 mins on treadmill - 10 mins, then 1 min run, 4 mins, 1 min run, 4 mins,  5 mins walking backwards
2 rep rounds on the weight machine (7 different moves)
10 mins on stepper (one I still can't spell correctly)  - 5 mins forward, 5 mins backwards
10 count of free weights - 5 different moves
20 mins on bike - 9 mins, then 1 speed, 4 mins, 1 speed, 5 mins backwards
then about 10-15 mins stretches etc

Came home ate a bar - after picking AJ up, and walked Jax for 15 mins.  I was so wiped.  My stomach hurt.  My legs were jello.  Had dinner and soon went to bed.

Guess I'd better not do that much again in one shot.  At least at the beginning now.  I'm going to have to accept that I need to break up the workout.  I know it's the weight and strengthening that burns the fat, and the cardio doesn't do it, but I still enjoy cardio more.  I'm going to need to just do a longer cardio one day, short cardio and weights the next day. and toss in some just plain walk the dog nothing else days between.  At least until March.  In March we are scheduled for that weight training via Physio.  Look forward to that.

So for the month of February, I'm just going to do cardio as I like, and weights etc as best I know how to.... I hope.
