Now that my cough is positively under control thanks to Dulera, I have returned back to my fitness program.
Friday I swam. Saturday I ... well didn’t exercise. Yesterday I did only 15 minutes on the treadmill - .5 miles. Today I did 31 minutes - 1.2 miles. Both barefoot. My calves are a bit sore, the bottoms of my feet are suffering a little bit. But I feel great. In fact, today I was done working out by 9:30am. It was great to not have that hanging over my head.
I’ve also been limited my calorie intake to 1400 calories per day. Yesterday I was actually way short of that mark. Today I was almost way short of it, but beefed up my final meal of the day. I’m not actually trying to starve myself, you know? I’m tracking my food in MyNetDiary via the iPad app, and entering my workouts in DailyBurn *and* MyNetDiary. Not really ideal, but it doesn’t bother me too much.
I weight in every morning via my Withings scale. That thing is awesome.
Tonight I start on my APAP machine. I am really hoping this is a big help to my sleep. The diagnosis with OSA may be the first step in figuring out why I always feel either completely exhausted or totally hyper (from exhaustion). There’s a real reason why I don’t sleep well and don’t feel rested, and medicating myself out of it got, well, tiring. I hope this is finally the answer.
These are big changes, all at one time. I am hopeful I can stick to them, and that if I blow it one day, I can get back into it the next.
I also purchased Dance Central to add to Dance Masters. I haven’t tried it yet, but that’ll be soon. It looks like an interesting game with a different approach. Tomorrow swimming is on the calendar - my burnie feet shouldn’t run again, and I do need to workout, so it’s either the bike or the pool - and truth be told, I just love swimming, so that’s likely the way I’ll go.
It’s not the initial change that’s hard, it’s sticking to it. Wish me luck!
