Well I bit the bullet and climbed onto the scale. At 166.8 lbs, I only gained 3 since the beginning of February. Considering the back injury and my complete lack of regard for my nutritional needs, I'd say it's a miracle I didn't gain more. I try not to think of the fact that I have lost most of the muscle mass I had built, so I am sure I gained more than 3 lbs of fat.
Nevertheless, I am solidly back into my good habits and will continue along this journey toward a healthier, stronger Angel. So there.
I managed to do 10 minutes on the treadmill yesterday, albeit on a max speed of 2.5 mph. I also did a beginner strength training routine for my arms, found in one of my Fitness magazines. Following that, I did my back-reinforcing stretches.
The weather was absolutely PERFECT here yesterday, and it should remain so throughout the weekend. I can't wait to get out there to walk in the fresh air. I think I'll give it a go tomorrow morning.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Angel

See!
Not as bad as you would think! I am proud of you for facing the dreaded scale and getting it out of the way.
getting exercise in...you rock! Just remember...picture us tomorrow...cheering you (prodding you!) on! Have a great weekend!
Yes, make sure you get out and enjoy the nice weather! We have nothing but rain almost all the time. Last Saturday was the first beautiful sunny day in I don't remember how long. Enjoy it for me!
Three pounds is terrific since February. Glad to hear you are able to get in some exercise. I know you loved it so very happy you can workout again. Glad you are building up strength and taking care of yourself.
Is really pretty amazing....I mean it didn't take me much longer than you to put on 15lbs! It can happen fast. I think you've done quite amazing considering your pain and injury. Love ya girl!
slowly and take care of that back of yours. I'm doing back strengthening exercises myself and trying to keep a stretching regime to increase my flexibility as I'm so tight!!! The thing is one could be in great shape but once one stops one really goes back to an inflexible unfit person. The good thing is that once one starts the exercise it should not take as long as someone who never did anything to get back to some degree of fitness.
Enjoy the good weather. Here it is also wonderful weather but I still feel weak or maybe I'm using that as an excuse to not go for a short wALK. I haven't been out in ages. Have a nice weekend.
Good morning!
