It’s probably because I haven’t worked out consistently for months, but for whatever reason my heart rate is way higher than usual today. I decided to finally put my at home treadmill to use, despite the terribly creaky joints that need lubricated.

I only did 15 minutes at 2mph, which was my normal warm up months ago, before I started feel dizzy and queasy and stopped. My heart rate went high enough to be in the cardio zone for 10 minutes doing something that used to be simple.

I am definitely starting over and it’s painful. Not only physically, but emotionally as well.
