I was supposed to walk today. I got up, looked outside…. and saw gloom and rain. It’s okay though, I have a gym membership now! So I went to the gym, and there was only one available treadmill. I guess everyone else had the same thought this morning! I put the treadmill on a fat-burning setting, so it monitored my heart rate to make sure it stayed where it needed to be to burn fat. Which worked fine, but the treadmill kind of made the executive decision to stop by itself. First it kept lowering my speed, but I hadn’t gone the distance I wanted to. Then eventually it turned itself off. So I had to start it all over. Luckily I was running my Nike app that was tracking how far I’d gone, so I just waited until that told me I’d gone my 3.11 miles. I made it in an hour, which is my best time yet! Probably because I didn’t have hills and turns to deal with like when I walk in the neighborhood.
It’s definitely different walking on a treadmill, and I think I prefer to walk on a sidewalk and actually go somewhere. But my new shoes did great today, and so far I’m loving working out every day.
Also, my weight has gone done the past two days. So far it’s looking like WOEDUV is knocking me off my plateau, which is exactly what I hoped for. I’m going to try and eat well the rest of the day, hopefully I’ll continue to see some good numbers on the scale!
