Hello Buddies!
Yesterday I spent the better portion of my day searching for a heart rate monitor to purchase. I have been reading about different types of exercise & the effects they have on weight management. I have learned that different types of exercise intensity triggers different biological changes in our bodies. Low Intensity/Light Aerobic activity burns FAT while High Intensity/Hard Aerobic activity burns GLUCOSE. The "controllers" of health & fitness thru-out the body & our Heart Rate is the ONLY way to know which is being used.
I *believe* I have been working out in BOTH 1st & 2nd Gears & want to hit 3rd every now & again.
1st Gear=Distance NOT Speed! Up to 65% of maximum heart rate.
2nd Gear=More Power/Less Mileage!66%-80% of maximum heart rate.
3rd Gear=Rocket Fuel!Quick Bursts of 85% of maximum heart rate & up.
Anyway,I got a Withings & soon realized that to get a heart rate reading I need to remove it from its wrist strap or its clip & then place my finger on the back side of it. Since I want to be able to know what my heart rate is just at a glance at different times thru-out my work out this would prove to be not very practical to me so I returned it & settled on a S7 slim.
The slim is worn like a watch & has buttons around the rim of its face that I push to get its readings. It has a 5 yr warranty & cost under $50. while with the Withings I could purchase a 2 yr warranty for $20. on top of the cost of $110.
Now to set it up & get used to how it works.
JUST ANOTHER WAY TO CELEBRATE HEALTHY!

Wow,what an ABSolutely wonderful way to begin my day!(That statement is partially sarcastic) I went out on my walk this morning & stopped in to book the clubhouse for a future day in June(that is when I plan on reaching my ultimate goal in weight!) & will be celebrating my "coming-out" party with just a few BUT very CLOSE friends :) Coming out from the layers of my ever so uncomfortable protective walls that I have buried myself beneath for far too long.(See my profile pic)They have served their purpose & I DO thank them for that.However I have & will continue to find better ways to deal with whatever comes my way in appropriate ways. Life is much to enjoyable not to live it as I know I am meant to! :)
I walked my 2 1/2 miles today & returned home to jump right into the Core Challenge work with the mindset of doing yesterdays workout & tagging on todays with it. How did I do??? Yesterdays challenge was to do 50 sit-ups & 50 crunches(check-check)35 leg raises & 40 second plank (check-check) :) Today I went from my 40 second plank into my 45 second plank(Wow,that got me shaking)I MADE IT! Then 55 sit-ups(check), 65 crunches---oops,not quite---35! I will do the other 30 later today along with the other 35 leg raises assigned for today! Plan on doing them before I eat again.:)
I finished up,sweat rolling off me like I was caught in a light rain,only for Keeper to announce :AAAAAAARRRGGGG!!! The court's shut off everyones water again!

:} Wha'dayado? Have a great Thursday everyone!
