While mourning the loss of the Green Bay Packers to the New York Giants this evening, Phil and I went to Lifetime Fitness and walked on the treadmill for half an hour. Phil showed me how to work the thing. Not bad! I kind of liked it.
I started with an incline of .1 and a speed of 2mph. My starting pulse rate was 113. In the next 15 minutes I worked up to 3.5 mph, and stayed there for 10 minutes or so. My peak pulse rate was 127. Then a few minutes at the slow pace again, and done!
While on the treadmill I listened to music I had downloaded onto my new Christmas phone. I bought some of those ear phone things that plug into your ear but also have a hook-around-the-ear thing. When I first turned on the music it was FULL VOLUME. I thought I would blast my eardrums and did a little dance on the treadmill until I figured out how to turn it down some.
I think at one point I sang out loud with the music, but I don't know for sure. That wouldn't be good.
The ice cream we made today was a little disappointing. So were the meatballs. But the tomato sauce is a keeper, so the day wasn't a total loss!
Tomorrow afternoon, I go back in the pool. I'll try to go a full half hour this time. Who knows, maybe more! And tomorrow night is the BIG WEIGH IN for Phil and I at Weight Watchers. I'll post the results here afterward.
BTW: Yes we will be rooting for the Giants next weekend, Bobby Moffat.
