Back To It

Friday, December 27, 2019 / Paul / Leave a comment

Now that I’ve had a heart attack and have started to get my nutrition figured out I’m going to get back to walking. I started yesterday by just taking a little walk around the neighborhood. It was a nice day and I walked on flat sidewalk. I didn’t want to get too heated or get my heart rate up to high too fast.

Today I got back to the treadmill. It was a cloudy day and didn’t feel like walking outside. I walked just over a mile and kept the speed at a decent level. Again, I didn’t want to get to hot or get the heart rate up. I did walk much farther than I did yesterday though so that’s a good start.

Merry Christmas!

I continue to feel really good. Yesterday I took a walk for the first time. I walked a little more than half a mile. NO chest pain at all! It felt good. Each day I’ll try to do a little more. The cardiologist said it was okay to build back up to some good exercise but not to overdue it at first. I’ll take it easy.

I’m just enjoying more Christmas movies today.

Back on the Treadmill

The new school year started today and my husband is back to work. I decided it was time for me to get back to the treadmill. I’ve taken so much time off. I have been dealing with sciatica down my left leg and lower back for a good 8 weeks now. It is feeling better so I can’t make any more excuses and get back to walking.

So I was in the gym on the treadmill when this old guy came in with his dog. His dog! At the gym! Why would you need to bring your little dog into the gym? I wasn’t very happy about it so I took a picture and told the manager of the building about it when I finished my walk.
