I weighed myself yesterday at the gym, 153.5
MUCH BETTER!
I will weigh again tonight and tomorrow.
Body Pump last night. The Tuesday night instructor is much younger than Thursdays. The class has way more participation and has a helper (I guess) that assists the class with correct form.
I upped my weights last night, maybe a bit too much. The bench pressing exercises proved a bit too much for me. Had to stop midway and take some of the weight off. Funny thing is, the weight for the legs isn't heavy enough yet. Guess getting that right takes practise.
Tonight is cardio day. I plan on running a 5k.
When I got home last night, my husband tells me about a job opportunity he is considering. He wants to be a paramedic in Iraq for 1 year. Not to discourage anyone from chasing a dream, one does have to be realistic. Anyone who reads my journal knows my husband is obese and has cancer (can anyone say BLINDERS!).
No company in their right mind is going to take him overseas. The issue with needing maintenance treatments every 3 months alone takes him out of the running. I suppose he will attempt to apply for it, I just hate to see him get his feelings hurt.
I can deal with the separation, we are army retired, that comes with the territory. I don't think he can deal with the extremes that this job is going to require. I told him that he won't be able to just come back if the job doesn't work out.
Extreme heat today in many states. Keep hydrated and stay cool buddies!
