I just read Dani at WRW call it her last chance workout today since weigh-in is tomorrow. Well... I dont think I can say I gave it my all...but I did make it to the gym... for only the second time since this challenge started June 1.
The only cardio that I generally do at the gym is the elliptical machine because I have a nerve problem in my hip (meralgia parasthetica) that causes pain and numbness when I aggravate it and unforunately walking agravates it. I haven't had any big pain issues lately so I decided to try the treadmill for awhile. I saw that it had a 5k lap setting and thought that would be perfect to get my 45-60 minutes in.
Well... 1/2 mile in and my heels were burning... another 1/2 mile and I had to stop. Blisters on my heels :( I think I need to wear/find/use better socks and hopefully can prevent that in the future. Spent another 20 mintues on the elliptical...and my feet/heels were done for the day. I need to find some moleskin or something. I haven't had workout blisters....ever LOL
SO... 1 out of 3 gym workouts goal completed for the week on Day 1. Yippee for me :) I still have a feeling I will have gained a few pounds overall this week... but I got back on track today. Now if I could just get rid of this headache....
i do a last chance workout too lol i dont think it worked but oh well it is good to get the movement. sorry to hear about your feet and blisters
ReplyDeletei would love to get that chocolate cake recipe from ya
Favorite Chocolate craving recipe...ammended from Hungry Girl.
ReplyDelete4 Tbsp reduced sugar chocolate cake mix
2 Tbsp low/non fat vanilla yogurt
Mix the above in a coffee mug until completely mixed. Put in microwave for 1-2 minutes. (1 1/2 minutes is usually enough to get the sides to seperate and it to look like cake instead of cake mix. I think top it with a couple of Tbsp of Cool Whip Lite. I love the warm cake/cool topping mix. It is about 125-150 calories.
Its easy to keep cake mix in a tupperware container so you that you always have it on hand. Its my favorite and pretty easy to remember.. just 2:1 mix to yogurt.
