Monday and Tuesday Recap

Nothing much happened on Monday.  We forgot to take meat out of the freezer to thaw, so there wasn't anything to make for dinner.  I went up and exercised while my wife ordered us salads and pizza.  Exciting, huh?

I mentioned earlier that we had a sick dog last week, so we've been monitoring her.  We noticed that she hadn't done anything more than pee since Sunday morning.  We figured if nothing happened by Wednesday, we'd take her back to the vet.  I thought a good walk might help her, so I plotted a 2 mile trek using i-fit.com and used that for my exercise last night.  I'd like to get an i-fit module for my treadmill, it lets you plot a route based on the terrain from any location.  It will adjust the incline of the treadmill to match.

Anyway, I plotted a 2 mile trek and off we went.  I noticed a big difference.  When I walk on the treadmill, I set the speed, and I go.  I work up a sweat and my heart rate is up and all is good.  When I was walking last night, I could feel the difference in my legs.  I was walking slower than the treadmill, which I expected, but I think I got a better work out.  I'll have to try and do that once or twice a week.  I hate walking outside, so it'll be tough to get the motivation.  The dogs will appreciate the effort though.

All it takes is patience and work.
