Day 2 ~ also included workout #2

I woke up slightly stiff which actually isn't unusual thanks to the Rheumatoid. As the day progressed I began to feel what I had done the day before. However, still determined I did my workout which to some is probably considered light but for me who is used to no workout is a lot. I managed to walk 1.6 miles at a fairly decent speed on the Nordic Trac in 33:05 and burned 155 calories. I actually worked up a sweat tonight and again was able to jog a little. It was less tonight than last night as my muscles started to burn and I didn't want to overdue it. I walked with weights in my hands again. I really didn't think I would notice much but my arms are actually sore today from those weights so I'm glad that I did that also. I decided I would also check my blood pressure and pulse when I finished each time to make sure that all looks good. Which confirmed what I thought was good 125/73 with 108 pulse which is good because it doesn't take much for me to run 90's low 100's. When I get worked up my pulse is faster than that. I'm sure I will be more sore tomorrow but hope to continue and maybe gain at least another tenth of a mile. Lots to do tomorrow as I prepare for Whitney's 1st wedding shower on Saturday but will fit my workout in.
