Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
70 minutes slow walk. I was a day behind for the last few days in my challenges and caught up yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to do today's work! It's been a rough week & I'm exhausted. It's all good - I had an amazing loss this week and I'll catch up again. I still haven't been able to do the 2 minute 30 second plank and the challenge is now asking for a 3 minute! Oy vey!

I went to the ER this morning at 2a.m. My heart had been racing off & on all day and I wasn't sure if it was stress, a heart attack, the new medicine or indigestion. Thankfully my tests, x-ray & scan are all clear. Oddly my resting heart rate is slower than most (normal range is 60-100 & last night mine was 47/8-61). Doctor said may have slight anemia and sure enough the blood work showed that I'm a tad iron deficient. Also my liver is not functioning as optimally as I would like. I will address this with my doctor because she had been monitoring me for over a year (I was taking a migraine medication that affects the liver.) Feel relieved - knowledge is power, but I had the same sensation twice today . . . odd.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes 10 minutes elliptical, 5 minutes stair master and 10 minutes strength training. Not my normal routine but I had my first update with the trainer at the gym since I started a month ago. Nine pounds lighters and between all the measurements (waist, hips, chest, thighs, arms....) a grand total of 8 inches lost - woot!

She told me something interesting. The work you do today won't show for 7 days... Your body has a 7 day "processing" time. Which she explains is why after a huge thanksgiving turkey dinner the next day you've only gained a pound but five days later you're wondering how you're up another 4 pounds. So don't fret when the scale doesn't move the day after an excruciating workout - check on it seven days later for the actual results!!

I made it through my exercise 45 minutes of a fast paced walk. Also paced the living room for 15 minutes to get the remainder of my steps in. I am about a week out to get 100 days of 10k steps or higher. Next week I am going to try and start adding in some more yoga.

Made my calorie goal, and logged everything I ate. Even the dang Twinkie. Thank goodness there are no more left.
