Today I did cardio and chose Cardio Coach #1. Had a decent workout. Had trouble with my HR monitor. Lately it hasn't been able to keep up when I'm running. It finally will give my correct heart rate once I stop. Id on't get it. I cleaned up the chest strap a bit, maybe it had something on it that wasn't making it work right?

CARDIO STATS:
40 minutes total
8 minutes below zone

So no workout for me today. My low back has been bothering me since Friday. DH and I had to move all the roofing to the backyard, he wanted it out of the front yard in fear that someone would steal it. Ummm, that stuff weighed a ton, I would have loved to see someone steal it. We had to carry each 20' x 3' piece one at a time to the back yard (we had 20 of them) because they were so heavy. We were doing 2 at a time but that killed my shoulder and upper back. I felt like such a wimp. It took us over an hour to move it to the backyard and then we had to move it all over again to place it on the boards they were laying flat on. Talk about a workout. I woke up at 3 a.m. that night with my low back on fire. I took an Aleve and felt better the next day, but really, it hasn't felt 100% since then.

I was suppose to do legs today but I was worried about the up and down movement with my low back so I decided to skip it. I'll combine upper and lower tomorrow and do a total body workout if it's feeling better.

Today is my moms 76th birthday. I am taking her to Red Lobster with three of my cousins to celebrate - (great day to pick not to workout!) I'm looking forward to it.

Just checking in to say I am home and will get started on my workouts tomorrow. Four days of nothing Only thing is my left side neck area and lat area is so sore. Who knows? I hope it lets up. I think I tense up a lot on the long drives and I was driving all over while I was gone.

Debbie, I think that roofing was plenty of weight work. A rest is in order.
