Something a Little Different

So today I got up at 6:14am with my hubby to try something a little different.  I find that I am having a really hard time getting up the motivation to treadmill during the day.  Mostly that is because of all the little people I am taking care of any given day.  So I thought maybe this will be a better way of getting the exercise in, doing it first thing in the am.

Let me tell you, it was far from easy getting up to do this.  I was defiantly not energized in the slightest.  Once I fed J and had put him back to bed all I wanted to do was go back to bed.  But I kept thinking of my two readers and how very long it has been since I wrote on here, so I got out of bed and went to the treadmill.  Sitting here writing this now I actually do feel energized and ready for the day.  Whoo too!!

So today I went a distance of 2.47 and the treadmill said that I burned 286 cals.  I only tread milled for 40 mins but I ran for 6 of them.  I ramped it up a little and went to a speed of 6.  I felt it!  It's not a lot but it is something.  I didn't get an accurate heart rate.  It said that my highest rate was 122 bpm, but they way that I was huffing and puffing, I seriously doubt that.

Anyways I am sweating like crazy and should shower before all the kidlets wake up!  Ta-ta for now!!
