Weight: 147.5! I have to admit that I'm surprised that I'm still losing weight even though I haven't been able to work out (more on that in a moment). It's definitely a nice surprise though!
Diet: I'm having to go easy on my cheat day but I still enjoyed a few treats this week! The no-working-out thing is starting to affect my motivation to eat well. That may sound weird but when I was working out I was so much more motivated to watch my diet during the week. I have no idea why that is. BUT, I'm still doing well and eating well!
Exercise: So, I went to the doctor on Friday and she thinks I may have a herniated disc. Super. So, I start a steriod pack tomorrow to get this pain under control then possibly (probably) physical therapy. Then we'll have to see. In the meantime, I am allowed to walk. On Friday I was incredibly upset about this news but I'm trying to keep a good attitude about it. Walking is still good exercise and if I go to the gym and do it on the treadmill, I can read a good book while I'm doing it! That'll be some good "me" time so I'm kind of looking forward to it. I bought an ab video to help with my core strength and I plan on doing that in the mornings.
I'm bummed I can't do any weight training right now. I was really loving feeling my body changing, not just because of the weight loss, but because I was gaining some muscle tone.
Also, my workouts were super easy because I could do them in the morning before Oli woke up and I didn't have to miss out on any time with her in the evenings. Now, I'll have to take her to the gym daycare while I do my walk. That's okay I guess. It'll probably be fun for her and I'll definitely be in a better frame of mind if I can get a workout in.
The biggest problem right now is that my evenings are super busy so I definitely won't be going as often as I'd like.
Hopefully next week I'll be writing about how great I'm doing with my walking and making it to the gym!
