Once again, I find myself frustrated that I have to start over again after falling off the stupid wagon. With an injury, moving, and just all the changes, I didn’t stay focused enough. This time around, I have a wellness coach that I’m hoping can help keep me motivated.
At this point, I think I may be heavier than I have ever been. Or pretty gosh darn close.
Over the last two weeks, I have been fairly sick and in quite a bit of pain. I’ve decided it’s because all this extra weight is…weighing me down (pun intended). I started out with what was thought to be pneumonia or a kidney infection, then a gallbladder infection. Two xrays, a CT, and an ultrasound later, and still nothing.
I am just SO TIRED all of the time. I don’t mean “Gosh, I could sure use a nap” tired. I mean, “My body feels like it wants to collapse and never move again” tired.
So, enough is enough! I am going to get my Fitbit charged up, put fresh batteries in the scale, and start using MyFitnessPal again. Because I am so weak and having trouble just sweeping the floor, I am going to start slow and just walk every day (hoping I can get RC to walk with me!).
Almost a year ago, I had a pretty bad injury due to my massive klutziness. I managed to fall out of a Bronco (don’t worry, it wasn’t moving!) and landed right on my knee. I ended up putting a lot of stress on my other knee to pick up the slack. After seeing an orthopedist, I learned that I have arthritis in both of my knees that was exacerbated by the additional stress from the injury. A month ago I started physical therapy to strengthen my knees.
I’d love to start going to the gym again, but until I have a lot more use of my knee again, I know it will be a waste. Thankfully, summer is right around the corner, and I have easy (free!) access to a pool so that I can also get exercise in a safe-on-my-knees environment.
As far as nutritional goals, I plan on going back to doing juices and smoothies again. Smoothies for breakfast and juices for supplements (so I can get some good nutrients in me!).
I’ll do measurements and my first weigh in this weekend. Woohoo!
