This morning I finished the first week of the Couch to 5K program. Today I added on 10 extra minutes of the intervals (so 4 extra jogging minutes), then I walked fast for 20 minutes & did a full hour (counting warm up & cool down) on the treadmill. I'm starting to be reminded what it feels like to be breathing harder & the heart racing and all. I am glad this program slowly steps it up. Mentally I don't feel really ready to work as hard as possible, I'm guessing that I just haven't built up that kind of momentum yet. I will get it back though!
Tomorrow I think I'll do P90X shoulders & arms in the morning, and probably some elliptical (again) around noon, then Friday I get to rest & have a cheat meal again. I don't think I will be blogging daily about workouts here, maybe weekly with stat updates or progress updates in general. I won't even THINK about doing anything that engages the abs much until I ask Doc in September (4 months post-op then) if I can. I don't want pain from tearing anything internal! When I get the go ahead with that I'll start trying push-ups and stuff again, for now I don't want to use the chest muscles lol.
lets see some pics!!
