I was challenged by my friend LeeAnn (at the gym). She came into the gym yesterday challenged to see what it felt like putting the treadmill on an incline of 15. Well it didn\u2019t take long for her to see it was quite the workout. She walked 3 mph with an incline of 15 for 15 min. Then she went back to her regular workout.<\/p>\n

So today I just wanted to see what it felt like. Just like Curious George, ya know? Love him, I truly do. Back to the point. So I set a personal goal to walk 1.7 mph with the incline set to 15 for 10 min. My heart rate after 10 min was up to 150. I\u2019m intrigued with that so I\u2019m going to go at it a little longer tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The last 50 min of my workout was on the Fit Stride Total Body Trainer. That was a bit more of a challenge as I bumped up the difficulty on this machine today. The last 10 min on that machine I was talking to myself, saying, \u201cI can do this\u201d! And I did.<\/p>\n

Another challenge of mine is to get my heart rate pumping at an average of 140 or so for an hour. I averaged just over 140 for the first time today. I can already see a change in my daily activity and I don\u2019t feel as sluggish as I once felt. Good things are happening!<\/p>\n

After my workout I had such a craving for eggs and an English muffin.<\/p>\n

Two eggs in a tiny sauce pan. They were poked on purpose allowing the yolk to roam all over the place. Added a sprinkle of salt and pepper, more pepper than salt.<\/p>\n

Ready to transfer from the pan to the muffin<\/p>\n

The egg swallowed the muffin, but I took care of them both.<\/p>\n

I spent some time reading and learning more about exercise this afternoon. I read cover to cover the latest Prevention magazine and found a recipe or two that I can\u2019t wait to try.<\/p>\n

Cheers to Challenge!<\/p>\n
