Gym -- Week 12 Recap
This week's entries look a little sparse. That's because I'm working out after working a full day, and not necessarily updating immediately after as I have all summer. Since my diagnosis, I either worked a full day or exercised. This week I am doing both. Most days I'm just too tired to sit at the computer and update what I did that day, so some of this is coming from memory. Thank goodness for Julie's pictures!
Monday -- Strength training session with Julie at the gym in the morning. Used muscles I've never used before!
Tuesday -- Helping with the buses on this first day of school for students, I got in 2747 steps. I stayed after work and walked for an hour. I ended up with 11,212 steps for the day. Got home exhausted!
Wednesday -- Walked after work again, for about 50 minutes. As of 5:45pm, 7234 steps, and climbing into bed.
Thursday -- Strength training session with Julie. Feeling great!
Friday -- Walked after work again, outside this time. Beautiful day! I ended up with 13,062 steps for the day!
Saturday -- Treatment day. No exercising.
Sunday -- In bed from the time I got home yesterday until, well, all day.
Monday morning weigh-in shows a 0.5 loss for the week, making it 12.75 lost overall. I was expecting either a gain or no loss this week because of treatment two days ago, so I'm happy with the half pound loss.
Non-scale victories
-- Tuesday, first day of school for students; I'm helping with buses in the morning.
Co-worker: "Good to see you out here, Ms. Payne."
Me: "It's great that I can do this now; I can walk up the steps of the bus!"
Co-worker: "You know, I tell this to other teachers who complain. 'Look at Ms. Payne; she's here every day, and she doesn't complain.' I tell this to especially the young teachers who complain. I admire your fortitude."
-- Wore a dress to work. First time since I've started with the school system 12 years ago.
-- Co-worker: "I like the new look!"
