Day 136 - 5 May 2009

I had to take a break from working out for a bit because my doc put me on a beta-blocker to try to prevent migraine and tension headaches. I was only on it for about 3 days though because it caused me to have chest pains due to the fact that it was aggrivating my acid reflux. The doc advised me to take it easy for a few days because it can put strain on your heart when you stop taking a blood pressure medicine like that. I was going to get back in the saddle again last Friday but I have to admit I have been lazy. I made myself get on the treadmill tonight though because I have set a goal for myself. I will be turning 33 in exactly 2 months and I am bound and determined that I am going to be 20 pounds lighter by then!! Tonight I walked 2.7 miles and burnt 276 calories. I would have done more but I accidentally snagged my finger on the emergency switch and messed up my workout. UUUGGGHHH! I will do a better job tomorrow night and I am also going to add in Pilates at some point tomorrow with or without my husband who has agreed to do it with me :O)
