Day 3

Today wasn't good. I ate ok. But I didn't exercise. Yet. I am honestly waiting for the kids to get to sleep. I have been so tired today. I actually fell asleep on the couch waiting for supper to cook in the oven. Problem being, I didn't feel refreshed when I woke up. I woke up, as I have a few nights in the last week, with my heart pounding so hard that it took me about 10 minutes to get it back to normal. Heart issues on both sides of my family. Not a good thing. I know I know. Go to the doctor. I will. My next visit is in June. Hopefully it will hold that long. I am not thrilled to find the truth about it. I am scared of the truth (in this matter). And I keep telling myself that it can't be my weight. I AM overweight, but not obese. At least I don't think I am..... I guess I don't know the definition of obese exactly. But I have seen a LOT of people in this world that are a LOT heavier than I am and THEY never have heart issues. Sure, they have other health issues. But not the heart. So it can't be the weight, right?

Food count was ok today. Not stellar. Not been a great day, really. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

Note to Self: You can do this. Seriously. You know you can. You have done it before. Get off your butt and go for it. Think of how great you felt two summers ago when you could actually play soccer with the kids without feeling like you were going to die!! GET UP AND GO!!!!


10:06: Got on the treadmill, but not for long. Only about 30 minutes. Better than nothing I guess. Going to bed. Good night.

You got on the treadmill! Yay for you!!!

Heart thing - maybe a blood sugar thing? Think of what you've been eating - are you getting enough protein. Are you eating too many low-cal, simple carb. things? I just want to make sure that it's not that, because when I let my blood sugar get wacky, my heart goes berserk.

Good luck today - I hope you find your groove.

I took yesterday off - Wednesday and Sunday are to be my days "off" of working out.
