Hi folks...sorry I haven't done personals in a while. Life just came at me - if you know what I mean.
Last weekend was rough - I tried a new brace for 45 minutes - it was a disaster. Brought on terrible pain. Thank goodness I pushed thru it with meditation and guided imagery. It's still sore from the brace - of course, the doctor said to bring it back. Tomorrow I go for a physical therapy evaluation and start that up. Hopefully, that will help.
The good news is that I was able to not binge last week.
I overate a couple of nights.
But when I counted the calories it wasn't that much extra. I was happy that I was willing to write down my food and calories even when I overate. It kept it real to me. When I weighed today....I was delighted to see that I lost 2 pounds last week.
Thanks so much to all of you for thinking of me and wishing me well thru all this physical stuff. I appreciate it so much.
Plans for today:
ice

journal food
journal feelings
stretches

mj5 - Your bella ratatoulle sounds so good!
Ah spring cleaning...it feels good to tidy and get rid of things. I know finding the clothes made you feel sad - but, maybe you can let it encourage you to push thru. You can do this!
Rhonda - Goodness, don't be embarrassed.
Everyone of us here has gone thru the all or nothing thinking. Don't quit. Glad you got the junk out of the house. That quote is so, so true. Maybe journal your frustrations..it always seems to help me.
Purple - push thru...try and plan for a good day and do the best you can. We're here with you!
Beth - great food plan and the one pound weight loss!
Glad you stayed within your points even with the cookies!!
Bigtxmama - 4 pounds down! YAY!
Below 300 is awesome.
Ginger - good job on the exercises.
A trainer once told if I had residual muscle pain to rest it a day. She said - one day do upper body and the next day do lower body. Basically, get each set of muscles a day to rest. Hope that makes sense. And...really, when you think of it three cups of carrots is alot better than three cups of cookies!
Math Puppy - so glad to hear about your good day!!
Yes, exercise is great way to push thru the hunger.
Have a good day everyone. Treat yourself as well as you'd treat a good friend!
