Gaining Control Again
HELP...911....we're in "flat line" over here!!!
well another morning i weighed in at 218.0. i wish it was creeping in the downward motion but i guess its better than jumping up...up...and "way up"
i have been working on gaining control. i have been very easy on myself and eating things i "don't" eat anymore and actually i really don't eat as much of the junk b/c it really doesn't taste like it once did...can you believe that? so thats probably why i'm in a holding pattern right now and not gaining.
i am also trying to deal w/ my back, shoulder, and neck pain. i think i'm out of alignment. i have been this way before but never this bad and since my ruptured disc last june i am also afraid of someone twisting or pushing me in a way that will hurt me worse. along w/ the disc that ruptured i also have 2 buldging discs so its scary for me to lay on a chiropractor's table again. i went and saw the neurosurg. doc that saw me for the rupture when all this started but all he said was...continue to lose weight and "exercise".
so the new thing in my life right now is that i'm easing my way into yoga. it has so many benifits that i'm crazy to not have this in my life as part of becoming healthy and taking good care of myself.
so w/ my age and aches and pains and stuck on a flatline my plan is to try my best to lose but if i don't at least maintain. continue to practice yoga and get back into a regular exercise plan. i need to find peace and control, as well as felxibility (yoga), i need to increase my heart rate and stamina (cardio- the elliptical, turbo jams, and treadmill), and i need to strengthen my muscles and tone (lifting wt.s) so i think if i can incorparate all the exercises that i like i won't become board and unmotivated giving me a better chance of sucess and charging up my metabolism and then experience the positive effect from my body in motion....weight loss.
ok, well it sounds good on paper. i just have to make it happen!
