May 4, 2011 - exercise update
Good morning everyone,
I wound up calling in sick yesterday. I had some flu like symptoms overnight that caused me to be up 1/2 the night. I was nervous that I needed to go to the ER but I eventually relaxed and fell asleep. I was extremely groggy when I got up so I called Sonja and Jen (MY MANAGER). I am feeling 100% better today and will be seeing the nephrologist tomorrow morning. I will bring it up and see what he says about it. Not sure if its PKD related because its still flu season here in Western NY. If I have the same issues in July, then I know something isn't right. Will see what happens.
I did not get to the gym yesterday. I decided to take it easy. Since I am feeling much better, I am going tonight and do my treadmill work (40 min at 5.0 speed, 2.5 grade for 1 min 30, 0.00 for 1 min 30, 1 min walk). I will be working out 2 days in a row. Tomorrow is group run.
Back to eating my salads every other day for lunch and having a fruit and veg for 3 pm snack. I weighed myself and only lost a 1/2 lb or 181.5. I didn't do good with the diet last week but trying again now. I plan on eating my salad for lunch. I usually have a carb day for my exercise day. Will see what happens when I go tonight and attempt my 40 minute treadmill workout. I don't know how the other 3 did on my weight loss team. I need to send a quick email to Todd and Mary to go weigh. I don't see Todd in today and Mary is probably upstairs. Lori I think got weighed in already but didn't catch up to her to see what she did. I told her what I did and it made her extremely nervous. Seemed like everyone around me getting weighed (there was about 7 of us), lost about a pound, 1/2 pound a few lost about 3. It will be interesting to see what the Neuro manager and OR manager lost. Last weigh in they lost 10 and 13 lbs a piece. Will they do it again?
Sundays walk was really good. I need to expand the walk by about 1/2 mile in the next few weeks. Its becoming really easy now. When I got back from my walk, I had a baby bird in my basement. I got my landlord from next door to help me with the bird. He flew right out the door no problems. He was this little thing - perhaps a baby. Not sure how he got in but maybe throug the dryer vent.
the Landlord told me that he got new tenants for the other side. A young couple with a 8 month old with 2 cats. He seemed to be pleased with them. I do hope they workout in the long run. they seem to run the same path as I did - coming from south of the city and moving up northeast of Buffalo toward the airport. I sure hope they are nice. Will find out in about a month - I will let you know the details. He is moving out the 3rd week of this month (around the 17-18) so I will be the only one there for 2 weeks until June 1. Im sure they got permission to start moving things early.
