Last year, in 3 seasons, I had lost 40 lbs. In 3 more seasons, after my hernia presented, surgery followed, and now, finishing rehab/resting/healing, all 40 came back. I finally started to get back on the path yesterday and am not really so amazed, just pissed off, that it was so very hard that I felt I was treading water in my own sweat. The first 10 minutes, it was so hard not to stop. I only intended to do 10 minutes on, 10 minutes rest, and another final 10 minutes back on the treadmill, but at the last minute, I hung in at a slower pace and was able to put in a 20 minute session. Man! It was tough stuff, and I know that the music in my ipod ears gets the main credit for keeping me going. So, that totals a 30 minute work session, roughly 190 calories and 1 1/4 miles. Right now, I am working up the stamina to better today than yesterday. Aren't we all?
