I was anxious to get back to my exercise tape but my inner thigh muscles were so sore from the first try at it I had a problem for about three days even sitting down and getting up from a chair or bending over to pick something up off the floor. At least I know that the tape will do the job, but I could not bring myself to even look at it. I did, however, do some five rites exercises and they are going well.
Then I tripped and fell down a few porch steps trying to dodge some newly fallen snow and twisted my ankle a little. Luckily, I had an ankle brace on that foot for support as suggested for my Plantar Faciliis problem. I think if I had not had that brace on, I may have been on crutches for a week, but the pain only lasted a day or two with the help of some Advil.
I am pretty sure I have lost a pound, but I am not all that excited about that, but it is certainly better than gaining one. I have not been doing enough exercise, and I have not been counting calories good enough. I have been eating the right foods and feeling much stronger and more flexible. I always feel more flexible when I stay away from sugar. Sugar tends to make me feel real old and stiff.
The new bathroom scale I bought is accurate but it is a little difficult to read as it is not a digital scale and I can’t see where the needle is exactly, so unless I loose two or three pounds, it is hard to tell if anything is changing in that department.
I have lost an inch around my waist and I do feel slimmer. I need to really buckle down and get back to the physical exercise, and make sure to count every calorie. That is the hard part. … the damn paperwork.
The nagging voice in my head just tells me to stop being lazy and start moving more. I spend too much time at the computer. Nag Nag Nag.
