Had my check-in with McConnell today. I have "officially" lost about 6 lbs since my last checkup two weeks ago. The dietician was very pleased with my progress, and just told me to "keep doing what you're doing." In chatting with the exercise physiologist, she told me that I should begin varying the intensity of my workouts. So, twice a week, I'll try to deliberately drop the intensity, to keep my heart rate at the bottom end of the range they've set for me (around 135 or so). She also suggested that I get a heart monitor, so I'll be on the lookout for one in the next few weeks or so.
Did my resistance training today (going to set up an appointment to get that adjusted at some point). Got in 30 minutes each on the recumbent bike and treadmill. Heart rate was pretty high for both. Tomorrow, I'll try to back off a bit...
Left work early, I finally caved to this unwell feeling. I'm going to bed early tonight, hopefully I'll feel better...
