HA! - Weighty Issues

I did it! I got off my lazy butt this afternoon (when what I really wanted was to sit around reading or take a nap) and did 10 miles even on the bike. It was at a more sedate pace than pre-pregnancy, my heartrate sat around 130BPM which is around 60-70% of my max. Still, I am SO glad I did, I feel much better than I did before, it was a very energizing ride!

I think I may grow fond of the slightly lower resistance and slower pace. I actually was enjoying the ride so much, that despite needing to get downstairs to pop some sourdough sandwich loaves into the oven, I actually reprogrammed the bike and did an extra TEN MINUTES to get a little more in. At that pace, if I could find time, I think I could actually do an hour without issue. I was having such a good time jamming to my music, spacing out, and getting my blood pumping for the first time in ages (getting stuck in a snowbank Monday, notwithstanding!).

So yay for exercise, I hope I can manage a repeat tomorrow. It may be difficult to get the time, only because I have to go to a baby shower in the early evening and that is my normal workout time. We'll see, either way.

Mission accomplished for today :)

On a fun addendum, due to some issues during one of my pregnancies I have a blood pressure meter here at home. It's buried under my bathroom sink so I rarely think to take my blood pressure, but I decided to take it this evening just for kicks. It was 107/75 - not bad for an obese chick ;)

To be fair, except at the height of pregnancy, my blood pressure is always at or below 120/80. High blood pressure is not a condition I have to contend with, thankfully, and improving my exercise and diet has only helped assure that.

Great job on the exercise and your excellent blood pressure! And I looked at your pictures from the other day - you look beautiful!

Great job on going the extra mile (or miles :D )

Low steady cardio is a great way to exercise on an active recovery day.
