Lately, the last thought I have before going to sleep is remembering Chuck. I'm sure it's because there are left over feelings because things just didn't work out. Both of us were in places where a move just wasn't possible in the moment; and we were too far apart to get together on occasions ... he was a special man, and a part of me loved him very much.
With all that, I decided that it was time to take care of me. I was noticing my Fitbit logging my resting heart rate at 66bpms. In the past, it was usually 60-62, so that indicated to me that I needed to make some changes. I have cut back on sugar and salt, and watching the foods I eat. And I'm on the treadmill every day for the past 5 days for a minimum of 15 mins. My target goal is simple: Keep my heart rate above 125 for 15 minutes. Anything else isn't as important. For now. Granted, I am still logging my time, distance and average heart rate, because I'm a numbers person. Even if the results don't show on scale, or anywhere else, I can track progress through numbers. Today was day 5, and I wasn't watching the clock, ended up with 20 minutes ;) I was happy with that!
