Another Goal Reached

I did it this morning. 40 minutes on treadmill, 15 of them at 3.5 mph. I could not get that heart rate higher than 159 though. I’m not sure what to do. I think may be I just need to bring Tony with me and have him stand in front of the treadmill and taunt me as he does all day long at home. I bet I could get my heart rate up then.

I then cooled down with 5 minutes on the exercise bike.

Starting Monday I will increase the grade incrementally. And start adding evening walks. Maybe just maybe I’ll start heading to some of those other scary looking machines with arm movements or stair steps or something. But that’s down the road a bit.

I am never hungry, thanks to the lap band. The lap band is a great too, but so easy to cheat.

As I have said multiple times, “If I only ate when I was hungry, I wouldn’t weigh this much now.”

But it is nice to not always have those physical hunger pains. If I eat three very small meals a day and I don’t snack. It is very simple.

So, upward and onward I go. How’s everyone else doing?
