sweat city

Today was a lazy day, which I looooove. I finally went to the gym around 3:30 and just did cardio. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and actually got my speed up to 4.0. (Is that mph? I don't know!) It was only for less than a minute, but I did it! I usually keep my speed between 3.5 and 3.7. The main reason that I can't go very fast is because it's so painful. My knees and ankles hurt really bad and so do my shins. However, it doesn't hurt near as bad as it did when I first started working out. Once I lose more weight, it'll be a lot easier. I wish it would all just go away instantly. I can't stand having to go so slow. My head wants to haul ass but my body tells me no way jose!

After my 2 miles, I did one mile on the elliptical and then sat in the sauna for awhile. I think I sweated out another 30 pounds. Ahhhh, feels so good! I sure love that sauna! I'm gonna hit it up next time I'm hungover. Sweat out the alcohol AND the heat forces me to drink water, which I normally hate. So no dehydration. I'm all over that.


Today was a good day.

Yes, that is Miles per Hour and 4.0 is a pretty good speed to aspire to. 5.0 is pretty much running for anyone, so 4.0 is pretty fast walking.
Be careful in the sauna, if you get dehydrated that caused headaches.
