Weekly Social Weight Loss And Exercise Catch Up

[ms spock]

I did so much activity today outside and inside I didn't do any exercising as I just didn't stop. It was a good day.

Thanks everyone for the sympathy and support about my near injury. I'm laying off the chin-up/pull-up training for a while until my arm feels better. I should start some easy going, very light stability and mobility exercises in the meantime.

It's a sort of chaotic response I get from my body with gaining muscle. I definitely know I'm not sleeping nearly enough for muscle building and fat loss to happen optimally, but I just can't help to want to start my day as soon as I wake up, even if I can only account for five or so hours of rest behind me.

I think the wee hours of the morning are my favorite time of day by far and letting them go to waste by sleeping more, seems so terrible nowadays. This is the only time of day where I can find some peace and feel at ease and I don't even feel sleepy when I first wake up anyway.

I've been slacking off on all exercise these last few days with the excuse of various aches and pains but truth is, I seem to look for ways to get out of exercising as much as I can. I need to get my act together!

I have been physically active since 6am today until 8.30am. It was good I got a lot done and I did a lot of movement.

I'm planning on doing a light chest/triceps workout today. I feel stronger and my arm seems to be doing much better. I've also been doing some push ups these past few days and my arm hasn't acted up, so I assume it might be ok to do this workout today. Definitely not gonna push myself much tho. Maybe I'll aggravate my near injury tho...hmmmm what to do...? What do you all think?

Take it easy with your arm and build up strength over time.

I lost about three pounds. It's been fluctuating so I am not that impressed. Having a harder time going around this diet then I did the last time.

Trying to do the treadmill and dieting every day. I can see my big stomach starting to shrink down a little. I actually have a waistline again. Yay for me.

Yays @gizmo.

I have been physically active outside and it really helps a lot to do physical exercise.

Still struggling to not cheat on this very restrictive diet. I did so well the last time. Not sure what it is that is harder this time.

@Britt.f7 ....temptation gives us something to conquer. ;) However, I go over occasionally to the dark-side (of chocolate that is). Do you treat yourself to a little goodies, from time to time?

I am trying to see this as my life change, not a sentence for all eternity. So after I walk x-amount of miles...I look at the calories burned and then say, hmmm... I will have a "______" (fill in the blank).

Can you do any lifting of your limbs or something creative like moving in place to allow "treats"? I think I remember you offering that you could not exercise.:hug: You are still kickin' butt kid! Fine job, keep it up.

@Recovery4Me I've started to. Last time I didn't. This time I have not gotten myself as worked over about a slip. I try to measure it by physical activity that I can do. Thank you for your support! It means a lot!
