Over 10,000 Steps Achieved on the Treadmill

I went to the gym today…and as I figured…my friend didn’t show up. That was ok. I had my Ipod and just listened to Cher for my entire workout. (100 minutes on the treadmill). I only made 5 and three quarter miles. Since I hadn’t done the treadmill since last Friday, I was happy with my effort. The only thing, my right leg has been bothering me again all day. I think tomorrow, I’ll just go 5 miles. That is the magic 10,000 steps a lot of weight loss programs say you need to burn off a day. (I read so much I get myself confused)

My husband actually showed up to workout today. His ankle started bothering him so he cut his time on the treadmill short. We all need to listen to our bodies. I should have quit the treadmill at probably 4 and half miles today. I was just starting to feel an ache in my right leg at that distance. Let’s see if I remember that tomorrow.

I haven’t decided whether to go swimming before I go to the gym tomorrow. I felt pretty good the other day when I did it that way. I guess I’ll just see what the morning brings…..I’m off to drink some more water.

    Hi! Somehow I chanced across your blog and thought I’d say hi. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who depends on my IPod at the gym and is trying to lose some weight! [not that i ever thought i was] Best of luck with your efforts!!
