monday's over, hold on to your butts, here comes tuesday...

Well, I was hoping for 8 miles this morning, but I only went 5 1/2. But at least I went, right? We got almost halfway and I completely ran out of energy.

Tomorrow morning, I'm eating something ridiculously high in fiber and protein about a half hour before I leave to go biking. I think that was my problem. I think my body was still half asleep and depleted of energy. I had a big scoop of peanut butter and half a bottle of water before I left. But maybe 2 minutes before I left. I don't think it had time to kick in before I started feeling exhausted.

Another thing was my HR strap wasn't on right and after 7 or 8 minutes it said my HR was 65. I think that's close to death for me. My HR never goes below 85 when I'm completely resting. So I stopped and adjusted it and I had it lipping over top of my bra strap a bit. Ugh! So part of my workout didn't count on the HR watch. So I know these stats aren't correct:

Total Calories Burned: 402
Minimum HR: 40
Maximum HR: 179
Average HR: 139
Total Time Biking: 45 min
Total Distance: 5.6 miles

A good friend from work joined WW today. We drove together to WW during lunch and she signed up as a friend of mine. Because she signed up, we both get this cool "healthy living cooler bag". It'll come in the mail. Can't wait to get it. I can really use it on my bike rides in the mornings. I don't have a place to put a water bottle on my bike and I get thirsty half way through and have to stop at the water fountains on the trail. Quite a pain! Besides the cool bag, it's much cooler that my friend joined. Now I'll have 2 friends from work (and my loving hubby) who go to WW meetings with me on Sat mornings. We'll be havin' a WW party come this Sat morning! :D

Had two dizzy spells today. I haven't had one in maybe 6 months or more. Now two in one day. Not sure what happened. They're usually just quick little 5 second spinny things. Kinda like when you spin around real fast and when you get done how everything spins and spins and spins. Well, it'll get like that for just 2-5 seconds at a time. Doesn't really have to do anything with my eating or my exertion habits. Just happens. But twice in one day is unusual. I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight. Get some good rest. I feel fine right now, just tired.
