Exercise: Yoga
Time: 30 mins
Today was the first day I wasn't running a fever (I think) and didn't wake up coughing my head off. So, I dressed myself up in my fancy new yoga pants (a whole size smaller than the old ones, woo hoo!) and took the dog for a walk. It is so much easier to walk and move when you're not worried about your pants falling down. Decided to do yoga today because I thought it would be easier on a recovering sicko. I genuinely felt better after finishing the program than I had before doing it, so I think I'm on the road to recovery.

Day 20 of 75 = Fail
I did not workout today.
I did cough so hard I got sick and worried about cracking a rib.
I had to remind myself that the whole reason I was doing this challenge was to make myself better. To breath better. To have a better heart rate. To sleep better. All with the hopeful side effect of having more muscle and less fat.
I had to remind myself that if I worked out while running a fever and hacking up 2 lungs I would not be taking care of myself.

Today's stats
Exercise: Treadmill walking
Time: 20 mins
Distance: 1.0 miles
Today should have been a yoga day, but the cough that goes with this cold started last night. I didn't think I'd be able to concentrate on my breath in poses, but 20 mins on the treadmill isn't too strenuous. Of course, that meant it felt like I was going to hack up a lung when I finished.

Only did 20 mins again today because it does feel like I'm fighting off the bug that came home with the husband. Would rather not hurry the germs along by pushing too hard.

Exercise: Treadmill walking

Calories: 164
Heart rate: 146 (avg)/ 153 (max)
Decided to only do 20 mins today because I feel like I may be coming down with the husband's germs, which I was worried about in yesterday's post. I woke up feeling like a heavy blanket was laying atop of me., so back to sleep I went. When I did wake up about 9:30 am, I was feeling much better, but I didn't want to push things. But I did workout, and that's the important part.

Day 16 of 75
Today's stats
Exercise: Treadmill walking
Time: 45 mins
Distance: 2.25 miles
Calories: 325
Heart rate: 139 (avg)/166 (max)
An interesting tidbit from today: my average heart rate was lower than normal. Today's average was 139 bpm, and usually it's more like 150 bpm.
Unfortunately, the husband is sick and I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I get sick, too. If I'm too sick to workout, does that end the challenge? Or is it acceptable that sick is sick and there's nothing I can do about it, better to take care of myself then make things worse?
