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!!
Good for you Josie!! I understand when you say that it is hard to get up at that time of day. I haven't been able to do it.
