Hi all,
So I have discovered that the secret to weight loss must be
moderation. After working out literally every day last week and trying my best
to stick to my restricted calories, I have injured myself. Not only do I have
runner's knee, but my ankle and foot are also swollen. I am feeling very down
and disappointed with myself because I weigh exactly what I did last week, and
I tried to just walk today and I can't even do that.
My goal is to not be upset with myself and to just focus on
my diet for this next week. Hopefully doing that and some yoga will be enough
for me to get back on the exercise wagon soon!
Thanks for the motivation everyone. You inspire me to try harder
each day! J

Courtney - Consider this just a small bump in the journey! My right knee has been very painful this past week due to the humidity in the air (joint problems & arthritis). Anyway, I've reduced my gym time and kept on walking! Sometimes my metabolism responds well to a brief reduction in exercise. . . Keep on working the caloric reduction and you'll be fine!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marty! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Courtney! Just a reminder that a pound of fat obviously weighs the same as a pound of muscle... but a pound of muscle takes up less volume!! :)
