To slow me down.
Actually, I can't really complain. I've been to the gym almost every night this week (I skipped the night before V-Day). It's now Sunday and I haven't been all weekend. My hips and knee were getting so sore that I wanted to take a break. My plan was to return today, until....I fell down the stairs. It wasn't a bad fall, by any means, but I sprained the crap outta my ankle. There's some slight swelling and tenderness, but I am able to walk on it, so at least it's not broken.
I am gonna see how it does tomorrow, but plan on getting back into the gym tomorrow night. So instead of focusing on that, lets see how I've done this week:
2/9/12 - Recumbent bike - 20 minutes - 1.95 miles
2/10/12 - R. Bike - 26 minutes - 2 miles
2/12/12 - R. Bike - 25 minutes - 2.4 miles
2/14/12 - R. Bike - 30 minutes - 2.8 miles
2/15/12 - swimming - 45 min
2/16/12 - R. Bike - 38 minutes
I forgot to track how far I went on Thursday, but I put in extra time because I was watching american idol and wasn't even paying attention to the track. I go in and see the Nurse Practitioner for my physical tomorrow. Next week is the surgeon, then the sleep study!
Food wise had been a bit more difficult. While I'm slowing trading a protein shake for a meal, I'm also fighting the 'last meal' syndrome. And caffeine, my good friend. I am going to miss coffee very much. Trying to change my mental thinking from "I can't have that" to "I'm choosing to eat something healthier and better for me" is the hardest part of this journey. But if I can convince myself its a choice and not just a restriction thing, I think will serve me the best in the end.
