Disciplinary action required!
OK... this Monday's weigh-in was better than last week's, but I can't say I was happy with going from 225.8 to only 225.0! I really have to do better if I'm going to meet my goal of getting under 200 pounds by the end of the year. I've got to get the exercise in and I've got to keep the eating reined in!
At least TODAY I am at a better weight of 223.2.
We ate dinner out Sunday, so that probably did affect things adversely, but still! I had been doing fairly well on the eating, most slips involved not getting veggies with a meal or something like that. I know I have not gotten enough exercise. That's been a sticky point, I just don't even feel like trying when my feet hurt, but I think I'm going to have to suck it up and get something done anyway.
I've also noticed that nights icing my feet on the couch are weak points. I'm trying to stave off the snack problem with veggies and a couple tablespoons of hummus, instead of eating cheese and/or peanut butter.
This week, so far, I've at least extended my pool workouts, and am hoping that will help. I've been good on the eating since Monday as well, no going over calories, no 10% meals, lots of liquids and today has also gone well.
I'm about to eat another meal, then go out and lop on a couple roses that I want to dig out. They are diseased looking, in a shady spot and just not doing well. They are also hard to get to to take care of, being somewhat under a tree. I figure I might as well dig while the ground is soft after the recent rains!
Meal 1 = Dover sole and assorted vegetables, pan-fried with minimal spritz of olive oil.
Meal 2 = PN Blueberry Madness smoothie
Workout = 90 minutes followed by a serving of protein powder in water
Grocery Shopping
Meal 3 = PN Apricot Yogurt smoothie with spinach
Hit my gallon of water after this point... I swear, I must sweat out tons in the pool! I admit, I was pumping it today... not only worked hard in water aerobics class, but swam a bit harder after.
Meal 4 = Ground bison and assorted veggies and hemp seed.
You can see where I was pretty spotty with exercise and 10% meals.
MUST DO BETTER! I've got to focus!
I think you should let the feet heal first. Maybe you could do some easy stretching to keep your lymph and blood flowing?
Jessica's last blog post..What Are Your Monthly Goals?
Yep, let your feet heal first!
Andrew is getting fit's last blog post..Hallelujah
Well, I just had a meltdown for eating the last couple days... but got plenty of rest for my feet and they feel better. So maybe I'll stick with pool workouts a little longer and not aggravate them again.
But I do have to get the eating back under control!
