Week 12: just more of the same ol' weigh in and goals
I'm still 151. Why? I had a nasty head cold this week, and when I'm sick all I want to do is eat. And once the fever, sore throat and pounding headache started, I craved chocolate, nuts, soup and fruit smoothies. On the positive side, I only missed one workout and didn't gain any weight. On the negative side, I didn't lose any either and felt like CRAP. Argh!
The Knee
Got the results back from the MRI. The radiologist report says maybe a small meniscus tear and maybe the ligament tore off the bone a little. My orthopedist disagreed and said it's a possibility but he couldn't see it in the pictures. However, there IS a lot of fluid still on the knee, which is why I still cannot bend my knee all the way. So I got a doctor's note excusing me for six weeks from my already-paid-for yoga class, and a reminder to come back in a month if the knee was still bothering me. Time heals all wounds, I guess.
Last Week's Goals
Besides missing one workout, goal wise I did about 50%. I read The UltraSimple Diet: Kick-Start Your Metabolism and Safely Lose Up to 10 Pounds in 7 Days
Didn't have time to blog those brown rice recipes. But I did download the pictures and resize the pictures. I find it very hard to write when I have a pounding headache - even after taking four ibuprophen. I read a lot and saw some good movies, though.
This Week's Goals
Just more of the same, but I plan to visit the rec center and inquire about the personal trainers. Also, preschool starts this week and I'll finally have uninterrupted time to blog, shop and exercise.
FOOD: Stay on track with the Extreme Fat Smash Diet. That means advance planning, measuring portions, taking food with me, and so on.
EXERCISE: Still do at least 45 minutes of exercise on the stationary bike every day. I've pushed up the resistence to 6 and I'd still like to do 10 miles in 45 minutes.
EXERCISE: Do arm weights while on the stationary bike every day - four sets of 10 of each exercise.
WELLNESS: Go over to rec center and inquire about group personal training. Talk to Debbie (one of the teacher aides at my daughter's preschool) about her spin class, too.
KNOWLEDGE: Listen to When Food Is Food & Love Is Love: A Step-by-Step Spiritual Program to Break Free from Emotional Eating.
BLOGGING: Blog Extreme Fat Smash Diet brown rice recipes - really! I'm also creating an Amazon.com store of my recommendations for dieting books, exercise clothes, inspirational books, cookbooks, cool stuff for the kitchen, and neat lunchboxes and smoothie shakers. Dieters need inspiration and rewards!
ACCOUNTABILITY: Check in with Tigerlilly and Carmen. (Haven't heard from TL, but she just moved and must be busy unpacking and organizing.)
