Did 3 30 min. stints on the treadmill, totalling ~5 miles.  Top, sustained speed was just 3.5mph.  I’m still not all back yet from my bout with bronchitis.  In particular, it is bad news for me to be out in the cold, which our living room/kitchen area usually are this time of year. My goal for today had been 4 30 min. stints, but shopping and cooking dinner, along w/cleaning up house, took a heck of a lot of my time.  Maybe tomorrow will be better. Oh, and having major, major insomnia last night didn’t help matters.  Couldn’t fall asleep for some reason till 4:15AM, and then, of course, got a late start to the day (~10:30AM!)

I’m still recovering from a terrible bronchitis–the slow recovery has prompted my MD hubby to infer that it was viral vs. bacterial. Whatever.

Consequently, I’m taking it slowly getting back into an exercise routine.  So far today, I’ve done two 30 min. stints on the treadmill, and am about to embark on a 3rd one.  Wish me luck. The willpower needed to carry this out is tremendous.

Ice Skating for ~45 mins. at Snoopy’s Home Ice in Santa Rosa.  I’d like to take their adult classes!

Felt a bit better today, so actually went for a 20 min. walk outside this afternoon. Still have to take it easy, since chest congestion remains.

It’s becoming my mantra: I can hardly wait till I’m whole again and can resume exercising.  I’m still getting over my bronchitis!

Still not fully recovered from (what hubby Michael insists was) viral or bacterial bronchitis. Therefore, no exercise. I can hardly wait till this week-end (estimated time of full recovery).

None. Still getting over bronchitis/pneumonia.  Looking forward to easing into exercise starting this week-end, if I’m feeling better.

Nothing, I’m afraid.  It’s about my 5th straight day of being bed-ridden, due to bacterial either bronchitis or pneumonia–so exercise is out till about this week-end, if my recovery proceeds OK. Been on a course of antibiotics, which has obviously helped. However, the overwhelming fatigue that has accompanied this illness is unprecedented in my experience.

Walked 2.8 miles, right before it got dark.

Goal: 3 x 30 min. stints on the treadmill at 3.5 mph OR 2.8 mile walk + 36 min. on treadmill            + Joyce Vedral’s Fat-Burning Upper Body Workout.

Actual: 35 mins. on treadmill, of which 30 mins. were at 3.5 mph + 2.8 mile walk.  No weight-training, sorry.
