Still sore from the trainer
I feel like such a dork but my legs are still killing me from my personal training session on Thursday. I’m fine when I walk or go up stairs, but if I have to go down stairs I think I could easily be beaten by an 85 year-old woman. I’m really worried that I might have to cancel my session on Monday. I was able to get in 30 minutes on the treadmill yesterday and I’ll walk again tomorrow but definitely no lunges.
This is the first weekend in a while that we have been home and it’s nice to just do normal stuff. I didn’t get in a workout today because we spent our morning at the doctor but I’m being really careful about my food. My son has had 4 seizures since Wednesday, 3 of them being yesterday. The pediatrician upped his seizure medication until we can talk with our neurologist on Monday so hopefully that will take care of things for a while. Regardless, I’m taking it as a huge personal victory that I’m not using this as an excuse to eat. I’m not going to break my arm patting myself on the back quite yet but so far I’m feeling strong.
I have my official weigh-in tomorrow and I’m a little worried. Last week I was 264.0 so to be able to tan this week I have to be at least 263.5. I checked this morning and I was at 266 which was kind of a surprise but I’m PMSing right now so I’m retaining water. So even if I don’t meet my goal this week (which will totally suck) I assume I’ll have a big loss next week. I have 7 weeks to go until the end of the school year, which the date I set to be under 250. I will do it.
Definitely a huge victory in those circumstances to not eat! Good for you! I am really starting to believe that turning to food can be replaced with exercise. We were at a kite festival today and instead of getting googley eyed over all the food, I was thinking about how it would be a great time/place to get some walking in. We go for what makes us feel good, so it is just a matter of starting to feel good about other things! Yeah for you
You sound very inspired and unyielding. I’m sorry to hear about what’s going on with your son, but I do believe in the power of prayer. You’ve defintely had a personal victory no making excuses. It seems as if we are around the same weight. How about you say we walk, run, cry, eat, and celebrate our way through this journey together!
And of course, thank you for coming by my blog.
When the aspirin and ice wears off & I’m just in pain, I like to think of all the work my muscles must be doing to repair & of all the lovely calories they’re still burning…that kinda helps on one level.
But then again, I don’t do lunges, so I’m probably dealing with really wuss pains by comparison
