Back on the horse

We were good finally.  I even did more than I planned in the exercise department.  Not a whole lot but still, extra.

While waiting for HDT to get home I jumped on the treadmill and did a good 10 minutes with incline of 3 at a rate of 3mph then did the 5 minute cool down.  Had just finished right when he got home.

He changed and then we proceeded to look for some paperwork he needed for his Lazik surgery.  Couldn't find it anywhere so I gave up to get on the elliptical before it got any later.  Set the timer for 12 minutes and did incline of 7 with resistance of 7 for most of the time.  And for the 5 minute cool down took it down to 5 and 5.  While I did that he got on the treadmill.  He put in a target heart rate and it put him at an incline of 4.5 at a rate of 2mph.  I think he ended up moving that around after awhile but for the most part he let the machine do its thing.

For dinner I made chicken breasts on the foreman grill, home grown sweet corn (from my step sister's farm), green beans and one dinner roll.  HDT had all that plus broccoli.  It was really good and filling.

Had about 12 or so mini pretzel twists for a snack later in the evening and HDT had a mini bag of Fritos. 

Today I'm sore.  From bowling Sunday, which we haven't done for about a year or so to working out which hasn't been done for months my legs are now killing me.  Mainly the inside and back of my legs.  And I over extended my left leg while on the treadmill so now the back of my knee hurts as well.  But at least the other pain is good pain.

My lower back hurt when I first woke up but after moving around for a bit it got better so that's good.  But we'll probably take today off, at least of a full blown work out.  I still may do a short one on the treadmill.  But we shall see.
