Today we only have four more weeks before transition. It seems both very long and very short. I am ready to eat normally, but then again I like not having to think about what I am going to eat. What to eat what to eat is the theme of my life.
But I wanted to lose this weight because I wanted to be able to move freely. I want to be able to walk up a hill and not feel like I am going to die. I want to swim so hard that I do feel like I am going to die, and I want to be able to bike with ease. And I wanted to be able to hold my body up without collapsing in a puddle of sweat.
I am noticing some changes in my swimming, which is what this is all about. These 35 pounds IMHO has improved by body position, which of course makes it easier to swim. The speed is not there, I am beginning to wonder if it ever will come back, but I keep trying.
I went for my first bike ride in a while. T2 urged me on while I slowly crashed and burned. Fitbit the wonder watch told me I was in peak (heart rate) for most of the ride. It was flat and no wind. And I had to stop 4 times, like every 10 minutes. It was horrible (the tiredness) but before the tiredness hit it was wonderful.
Bicycling has other issues, mainly my shoulder and neck. I am sure that the pain in the shoulder contributes to the neck pain, but if I wasn't aerobically out of shape, I would have had to stop for the pain in my neck and shoulder. Don't get old.
Pickleball is definitely one source of exercise that you don't feel like it is exercise, unless you are playing in 90 heat. I am thinking that we need to get a portable fan for the summer this year to keep from dying of heat stroke.
As far as my personal trainer, I have had to cut back the sessions from one hour to forty-five minutes.
The main difference I am seeing with my personal trainer is I am not struggling quite as much with body weight exercises. It still is a struggle, but I am hanging in there.
Tap is just fun. I am not good enough for it to be high intensity, but I know that if I do get better I will find tap to be just as aerobic as running. Here is to improving.
This week has been a bear. I didn't do anything on Sunday, but like on Tuesday I had swimming, tap and my personal trainer. Wednesday I tried to get up early to beat the heat on the bike ride, but couldn't pull myself out of bed until 8:30. Just too tired.
Do you think it will ever stop raining.
The republicans are fools.

You're a natural athlete (a lot like Tatiana!), and I am sure that the weight loss is going to increase the enjoyment of all of your workouts. I can't wait to see you do some tap!!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I want to see some tap.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe if you think about republicans while you are biking you will be so furious it will make you pedal harder.
T3 can jump way higher than Tatiana. Thinking about republicans just causes stomach pains and clogged arteries. Think about taking THUNDER, the wonder dog, for a walk & TODAY, the topnotch twirler, out for a spin. You can push good old Ted up the hill!. I don't know how you do it - my admiration knows no bounds.
