Well.......walking in place to the biggest loser for 10 min x 2 wasn't too bad and my knee did pretty good. I'll slowly try to move faster and hopefully get back on the bike for the aerobic ex part, but oh how the other hurt. Talked to my doc and will have to modify some of the others, she has a regular trainer she works out with and i may show the ex to one of the pts i know to see how to best get around the knee problem but so far just did the best i could. Made sure to work the abd and gluts but did the lifts on the bed with a modified arm position and did the others to less than 90%, stopping when the knee started to talk back. The squats were less trouble to it than the lunges which surprised me.........getting old's no fun......i used to be able to do stuff like this with no prob...of course that was 32 years ago....ex class at least 2x a wk then, walked 5 miles to go shopping on Sat, and weighed 120 pounds. I can't go back in time but i can be healthier than i am. weight this am was 1 1/2 pounds down from sun...will see what this weekend shows. Todays email is right on......always weigh heavier when i feel constipated, added back a stool softener for the increased fiber and decreased fat i'm eating. Will need to find some more tv to watch as its easier to ex to something.
PS i'm pulling for Arthur...losing 150 pounds on his own from over 600 took a lot of effort...while it might seem easier to just give up some cal when you'd have to eat so many to maintain that weight, the inertia itself makes doing that much harder and the fact that he was telling his dad that you have to weigh, measure and keep track of everything he eats makes me suspect that he has been doing that...so much like all of us and what i will need to do forever. I don't have some of the triggers that others do, i can enjoy a small piece of cake without eating the whole thing, and do just an oz of chips....provided i'm thinking about it, if not i may eat 4 oz before i realize i did and that is what i will need to be avoiding...so far the only trigger i've found is the homemade choc cherries that i get at Christmas, in addition to the box of candy with about 8 in it i get a box of 20 just for me.......confession time: i ate 5 of them, i did count them at 100 cal each but the day i ate 3 i realized i had to get them out of the house before i finished what was left and so they are at my spouses office for him to enjoy. I managed to just taste the peanut brittle and left the rest of the bag alone while in other years i might have eaten half the bag in one sitting...so guess that wasn't the problem i was afraid it might be, and nothing else i was given was of any interest and wasn't even tasted.
My older son leaves in the morning so we are going out to lunch, will be using bk and lunch cal for this, but i am drinking some....but have to make sure i can manage the drive to where he wants to go.....if you watch the food truck show next fall i think, OKC will be in it and they also have a store and thats where we are going, have to be careful what i eat.....prob soup and then taste his fillings from his tacos, they do bison, as well as pork, chicken, beef, tongue, fish and my favorite..smoked brisket with a hot pickled relish and potatoes.
