I have taken it easy on the exercise the last few days. I was getting frustrated busting my butt and not seeing the scale move. Well, in all my rest this weekend, it moved again, in the right direction. I am now 242.
I forgot to journal about my experience last week running! On one of my walks last week I decided to go ahead and do it. I have been very cautious about running. It is something I have been wanting to do, but in the last few months I have developed a knee issue. Who has knee issues after losing 115 pounds? Me! It is getting difficult to walk up and down stairs. I haven't taken the elevator at work since surgery unless I had a ton of things to get upstairs. The last week or so, I have been taking the elevator most of the time. My water aerobics instructor mentioned that some people that lose a lot of weight get knee problems because of the shift in how we walk and carry our weight now. Who knew?
Anyway, while walking one day last week, I just started running. I ran from one mailbox to another. Then I walked to the next mailbox, then I rain to the next mailbox, so on and so forth. It felt great to get my heart rate up and my blood pumping. Since my neighborhood is VERY hilly, with lots of steep inclines, I made sure to only do the running on the slight inclines or more level ground (not that there is much of that here).
Here is my menu from today. I am at 1138 calories and 65g protein.
