Today I report on how I’m doing with my physical state.
What I can tell you is that Excedrin Migraine is back on the
market.
This makes my life so much easier. That and my Gabapentin is kicked in
so I’m feeling pretty good, generally. I am not eating “clean” and I have not
been exercising except for doing approximately 50 crunches five days this week.
However, that being said I think I am only physically good
for one game of bocce ball per week with the shape I’m in. Also, my weight is
argh. It makes me mad. I have been doing some yummy cookie making and even a
little bread and rolls. Oops. Yummy, but not good for me.
Rather than go on and on about what a loser I am for how I
have been eating or not eating I want to talk about what I am going to do
differently this week. I would like to add two days of walking this week as
well as continue my sit-ups and add at least two days of full-body strength
training.
My eating needs to change to more vegetables. I am
considering the Dukan with nuts and cheese, but I doubt I can stick to that, it’s
a hard one. And I don’t really believe in a “diet” so I need to just figure out
what is and is not okay for me. I want, No NEED, to reduce the amount of carbs
I’m eating and replace them with healthy fruits and vegetables. I am thinking
of adding fresh fruits, which I have heretofore avoided because of my
commitment to the Metabolism Miracle, but truthfully I think fruit &
smoothies, yogurt would be way better than eating cookies, plain bread and
empty simple carbs. YATHINK?
So, here I am, on the brink of the weekend and thinking
about being more active, eating more fresh foods and reducing the amount of
simple carbs. So maybe next week I can report a little more activity ability
then a stinking Bocce Ball game.
Bocce ball is exercise. Okay wimpy exercise but it is exercise. Have you considered adding weight. I my case ankle weights. I do it every day. It makes wimpy exercise a little more substancial. I do wrist weights for part of the day too. Okay not the wrists every day but the ankles every day. Cheaters exercise for sure but it is getting to the point I miss them when they're off. I'd get a vest if they weren't so expensive!
ReplyDeleteI have weights. I don't walk, that's not it. The strength training is (for now) actually done without weights. It's mostly the stretching and flexing. I add weights as I get stronger. I'm just chicken because even just a little exercise can (not always) cause me massive pain for days. :(
