Yep, I'm still here. It's been nearly a year since I blogged on this blog, and for no really good reason. I have been exercising although at a little less intensity than last year.
First of all, I developed a sinus infection that took months to get over. It was awful. And then I had another one that took about a month to get over. I went in for my annual checkup, and found that my feeling of every day being a mountain to climb had more to do with the fact that my hematocrit was 32.6 (normal for women is 36-45) than the fact that I was depressed. Go figure.
So I'm back to exercise, and I walk slower than ever. But I'm walking. I get short of breath climbing a flight of stairs and that so sucks. But I am taking an iron supplement and having a procedure next week to see if I'm actively bleeding from an area, and we'll just go from there.
So last week and this week I finally got the exercise down that I wanted. I exercised most days last week, and have taken one day off this week. So far this week, I've:
mowed the lawn and dug the garden on Sunday, and walked a half hour
did 30 minutes on the elliptical on Monday
walked on Tuesday
and walked this morning (for a half hour, each walk)
95 minutes of working out on Sunday, and 90 minutes added to that. Yes!
Tomorrow I'll do something, in addition to hauling big carts around Costco. Saturday I'll walk. Sunday and Monday I probably won't feel like doing much of anything, and then I'll pick it up again.
Onward!
