After a weekend staying home with the family I don't see often enough during the week, went out to the gym at 5:00 as usual. Ran at 5.5mph for 40 minutes, then 6.0 mph for the last 10. Good workout.
Took my blood pressure over the weekend; 128/76. First time I've seen the diastolic pressure under 80 in 15 years.
Down to 258 lbs today. Finally out of the 260s, where I've been for a couple of months.
Cathy bought me a fitbit force, it's a very cute combination pedometer/watch/sleep monitor. Automatically resets and logs every day, communicates over bluetooth with the iPhone and the computer. I've had it since last Thursday, so far I like it a lot. It does show that while my sleep apnea is reportedly 95% better, I'm still a pretty restless sleeper.
Still morning lows in the 20s here; I can't wait 'til it warms up a bit so I can run outside again. But the gym is filling that need, and it's somehow easier to get out of bed if there's a specific destination.
A blog where we can discuss our goals regarding health, fitness, food and general wellness. This should be a fun space where we congratulate each other for a job well done, plan fitness activities to do together, and ask for extra support when we need it. Advice is good - but only when asked for! Feel free to post as much or as little as you like according to your own goals.
You are doing really great, Thad. And the discipline to get up at 5 AM -- wow. I'm always up for a weekend workout / racquetball game / cycling - whatever!
