Still ill

I have a throat and ear infection and am on antiobiotics. I'm really coughy and wheezy too, so once again I'm not able to get on the treadmill. Grrrr. I wanna get on it so bad, but I also want to live. So I won't (get on it).

Monday weigh-in

Today I weighed in at 222.8. That's down 5 from last week.
I've got a bad earache and sore throat so I'm not going to be exercising for a few days, and haven't done so since about last Wednesday.

I had a really long day looking after the Little One and Little Flower, so I didn't go on the treadmill. However, I did go for a couple of walks with the kids and got some fresh air.

Tuesday
35 mins on the treadmill (3.5 km) at incline of 6.

Wednesday
35 mins on the treadmill (same as yesterday)

Thursday
12 minutes treadmill

Friday
11 1\2 mins treadmill

Monday morning weigh-in

227.8

That is down from last Monday (which was 228.6) but up 3 from my lowest weigh-in this week. Water retention? Who knows.
But it's down, and I'll take it!

My exercise challenge

Having been able to get back on the treadmill again (after a chest infection) and discovering how much it improves my mood and makes me feel better, I'm going to set myself a challenge.

At the moment I don't have a full time job (although I'm working on it..), but that means I have lots of time to exercise.

So, my challenge is to do at least 5 hours exercise a week. And, if those five hours are on the treadmill, and I do other stuff in addition, then that's even better.

Sunday
1 hour treadmill

Monday
1 hour treadmill
weights (approx 15 mins)

Tuesday
30 mins treadmill
30-40 mins swimming (I did 28 lengths)

Wednesday
1 hour treadmill
weights (approx 15 mins)

Thursday
45 mins treadmill

Friday
1 hour treadmill

Saturday
70 mins treadmill

Sunday
Took a day off from exercising.

This week's Monday weigh-in

On Monday I weighed in at 228.6 (my lowest so far, and breaking through the 230 barrier)
