jogging & a cup of tea
Oct. 30th, 2010 05:00 pmYesterday, N came home from work a little early. So, I took the opportunity (well, he pushed me out the door) to go to the gym. I got on the treadmill and did the interval training option it comes with. My "running" speed was of a very brisk walk and "jogging" speed was a slower brisk walk. After a while I got bored and so I started jogging.
wow...
It seems trivial but I didn't realise I could do it. I was feeling my weight but my heart rate was better than it was even before pregnancy and I could actually jog!!!
And I really need to jog much more frequently now as I have been putting on weight. bleah. All the ice creams and junk I have begun consuming the last month and half is definitely not helping! But need to figure out healthy snacks to take. Meals wise we are doing well. It's all the snacking. I look 6 months pregnant again!
One bad habit - well, it's not bad but it's a habit I never had before and that is tea drinking. After delivery, I would accompany mom (who is also not a regular drinker, will have a cup if there's company kind of drinker) with a cup of tea everyday!!! Our extended family surely should see this! We both were always at the butt of jokes as we don't take coffee nor tea and so most of the time we would be offered chocolate milk with a snicker...(that it's a kids' drink) and there are a few who share that it's a good habit. But now it seems I am addicted. I don't really enjoy it, it's just something to drink - something to fill time.
Of course, for whatever reason the moment I sit down with a cup of tea, D demands my attention, so until a few days ago, I have been drinking cold tea (Indian tea). ah well... maybe my daughter is trying to discourage me to making it a true habit!
