Fatigue got the best of me yesterday, so I did not do the circuit exercise that I posted about yesterday. :( BUT, I did do my walking & swimming to continue on in my Lazy Man Iron Man competition, and my two lovely daughters joined me. There's a Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, AZ, just a few miles away from where I live, that's become a favorite place of mine to go on walks. It breaks up the monotony of walking through the neighborhood where I live. However, I wasn't really paying attention to the weather yesterday, and going at 3pm turned into a pretty bad idea. It was hot! And since the sun was pretty much directly above us, there wasn't much shade, either. But we pushed through & got in a decent walk, 1.87mi. :) I think today my best bet is going to be to go home, take a little bit of a nap, and then try & do some biking later tonight when it's a little bit cooler. Like after the sun goes down! Oh, and on a side note, my right leg is covered in some kind of insect bites, from my knee down to my ankle. Not a happy camper about that, I guess I'll have to wear longer pants the next time I walk there. :/
It was hot, but we're still smiling...1.87mi walk.
.5mi in the pool, a total of 1 mile of swimming in the last 2 days. Only 1.4mi left to go!
Even though I didn't do much exercising over the weekend & I haven't felt sore yet this week or included any additional exercise yet, I got on the scale this morning to check anyway (I tend to be a little overly obsessed with the number on that stupid machine, I should probably find a way to fix that) and I'm down a pound! 239lbs as of today! I don't know if I've mentioned this yet, but as a motivator, I've decided that for every 10lbs I lose, I'm going to allow myself to get a new tattoo. I'm halfway to my next one! When I get to 234lbs, I'll be in the tat shop. Another 5lbs is nothing. I got this. I can do hard things.
