I've started to do the breathing technique recommended by Wim Hof. I do it lying down in bed to energize myself for the day.
Then I do pushups and crunches. Today I lost count while doing crunches, and I did an extra 10. The breathing gives me strength and endurance to do these exercises. He also recommends cold showers, starting out with 15 seconds of cold water at the end of a normal shower and gradually increasing the time. I just cannot do that, but I can splash cold water on my face, hair, forearms with no problem. __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg Wellbutrin 150mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol |

Well my jog didn’t happen this morning, I was on a very rare night out with my colleagues last night which involved some alcohol, and a lot of dancing and singing - I’m therefore claiming the dancing as exercise lol. I was taken aback by how much my colleagues drank! I drank only two small beers and I still feel groggy this morning, no way could I have drunk that much.
So my challenge today is to get a bit of movement into my day. Feeling a little fragile right now though. |

I did a 3.25 mile power walk this morning, stopping at the park to do a few of their outdoor ab and weight machines. I think my abs and obliques will definitely be sore tomorrow!

I've been doing Wim Hof breathing and found that my pushups and crunches are a tad easier if I do them right after the breathwork.

I'm at 1,117 calories, 155 carbs, and 66 mg or whatever of protein. My sodium is pretty bad but my blood pressure is ok today.
I just did 23 minutes on my treadmill while watching TV. I also finished organizing my closet earlier. __________________ I'm Blue Last edited by Mountaindewed; Yesterday at 03:00 PM.. |

I did pilates this morning since rain was forecast. I hope to walk tomorrow, but there is a good chance of rain then too, so I just have to wait & see.
Oh, and I vacuumed which is pretty good exercise too! __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in. --Leonard Cohen |

This morning I had a good power walk; I covered 3 miles in under 45 min which is a good pace. I stopped at the park to do the ab machines & some arm tension weights. I will probably be sore from that tomorrow! Then, I walked the 0.5 mile home at a slower pace. I wish the weather would cool off though. It was 78F with 84% humidity, and that is a chore to exercise in! There was a breeze but it was from the south/southwest, which any breeze off the Gulf of Mexico is a warm breeze that doesn't help much. I wonder if you burn more calories walking in weather like that? I really don't know.

Hi blueberry! I took racewalking classes taught by olympians in california in the 1980s. At the time they told us that if the heat plus the humidity was over 150, then maybe dont go out. The attachment says 180, so maybe i have a wimpy memory. The pace adjustments in the table would equal work / calorie, i assume. You continue to inspire me. I have become much more active - for me!
