Resting Heart Rate

Sooo, during week one I am supposed to get a baseline of how I feel.  Each morning I post hours of sleep, how good it was, note any muscle pains, joint pains, how is my mood, do I feel like exercising, how is my motivation and resting heart rate.  Oops, and how much I weigh.  The weight thing is interesting since I don't usually weigh in every day.  Day one I'm at 129, day two and three at target weight of 125 and then boom, day 4 back to 129.  But hey, the baseline will be an average so we will see where that goes.  Back to heart rate.  Resting heart rate started at 71, but I had already been up for an hour and forgot to do it before getting up.  The other mornings it is consistent at 66.  According to the chart that is good for a woman my age.  Naturally my lovely brain says to me, "hey, you shouldn't have to do your cardio then if it's already good."  My reply of course is, "yes, but I still can't jog more than a block without being out of breath so just hush up."  On ward and down ward.  I did two of my three exercise days this week.  Yippee!  Ate when I was supposed to eat, most of the week.  Feeling a little tired as it is Thursday and I have packed too much into my week.  I won't say it's the lack of coffee, because I wasn't tired until last night. Right?
