Pant, pant, wheeze! Holy crap, I’m exhausted!
I did manage to get up not too long after 7 AM, but wasted a good half-hour wallowing in self-pity, and then some more time trying to hunt up the scrap of paper I used to use to keep track of my cardio workout. I struggled a bit with the temptation to postpone the workout to the evening, which I fear would have later yielded to postponing it to tomorrow, and then.... A snatch of internal dialog: How determined are you? Not very, but I think I can fake it. And yes, I could.
Bless me, cardio-vascular system, I have sinned; it’s been
four months since my last cardio workout. I actually weighed in at half a pound less this morning than on that one, so I’m practically picking up where I left off.
Weight: 261.5
Stayed in low 60s for first few minutes, dropped into 40s for most of the rest of the workout, occasionally getting as high as 60 for peaks. Resistance pattern: 6-11-16-16. (1 for first two minutes, last minute). Pooped out after 18 minutes. Heart rate got as high as 190 in first peak!
I’m supposed to wait an hour after working out before eating breakfast (not to avoid cramps, just for maximum workout benefits), but I wasted too much time, and besides, I’m famished.
