I learned a valuable lesson today. It's best not to combine Sudafed, a cup of coffee, no breakfast and a cardio workout. I mean, it was a great workout! I was basically on speed. But then my heart rate would not lower, even after I cooled off, stretched out and then sat in a chair. In fact, when I was on the bike I began to feel dizzy and had visions of me getting off the bike and promptly collapsing to the floor.
After I sat for a while I tried to take my pulse. But I couldn't remember if you timed it for 10 seconds and then multiplied by six or timed it for 6 seconds and multiplied it by ten... either way, I came up with 210, which I knew wasn't right! So I asked the trainer on duty (who happens to be a paramedic) if he would check my pulse. Thankfully it was down to 96 and I wasn't going to be spending the day at the ER or in rehab.
My husband and I went out to dinner last night and I counted it as my weekly Free Meal. I wanted to eat healthy, though, because my devil scale said 128.4 yesterday morning. That is soo close to a record low (since having children) of 127something. Getting to that number meant more to me than anything on the menu, so I ordered an omelette. My big splurge was some hash brown potatoes.
This morning? 127.2
