My scale greeted me with a new low weight this morning. 274.8 WOHOO! It's only 1 pound down from my old low, and who knows if it will stick for my official weigh in, but I was sure happy to see it! I needed that boost!
I attempted a workout at my new gym last night. I walked on a treadmill for 5 minutes...this won't burn any calories because of how slow I have to go, but the machine is right in front of a mirror, so I can really work on my gate...which sucked pretty bad last night. My right leg does NOT want to work right at all. It's nice to have the opportunity to work on it again. I then tried a recumbent bike, since that's what my PT wants me to use now...UGH...what a PIA! Their bikes, first of all, don't have stirrups on them...which I need to keep my foot on the pedal. And then...because of my particular muscle deficiencies, I'm constantly having to adjust my feet so that my ankles stop hitting the inside of the pedal on the rotation. SO OBNOXIOUS. I miss my elliptical I think I got MAYBE 3 minutes on the bike. I really, really hate it. I'll keep working on it though. Sometime this week I plan on seeing what I can make happen in the pool. I think the big win for me here was that I got off my booty and drove to the dang gym...that's a good thing!
Food plan for today...very similar to yesterday. Celery and cream cheese for breakfast, leftover broccoli slaw thing for lunch, bacon for snack....dinner might be taco salad. I'm still eating the occasional pinch of almonds throughout the day. I've learned to take my love affair with them down to a "friends with benefits" relationship. LOL
Not sure if I'll make it back to the gym today due to my after work schedule...we'll see.
