Back down to pre-conference weight

Sunday, October 04, 2009

I only gained about 1.5 or 2 pounds during my conference week and I'm finally back down now to what I was before. I haven't been good about recording my food or exercising, though, because I got sick this week AND I sprained my ankle on Tuesday during a walk! Sheesh! But hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and go for a run.

    That's the spirit! Take care of your ankle, eat wisely, and resume exercise as soon as it's safe.

Back from conference

Sunday, September 27, 2009

I was at the ACFW conference last week, and spent almost the entire week this week recovering from it! Oy! I got a little sick a day or two, plus I had tons of stuff to do like renew my license, give a couple interviews, etc. And my house is a mess!!!! I feel so disjointed with my house this way.

Anyway, hopefully I'm back on track now. I actually didn't eat too badly at the conference. I overindulged for 3 or maybe 4 meals, but the rest of the time, I was pretty good. I was able to only eat 2 bites of every dessert and push it away. I tried to eat lots of veggies and to only eat until I was full. The only problem is that I just didn't have time to exercise. Networking was a bit more important to me since I don't get to see these people for most of the year. Or else I was busy helping and volunteering at the conference because they needed help.

Hopefully I will get back into exercise this week!

    Great job girl!!! :D I'm glad this conference went ok and without a hitch. You're back! :)

    Aw, thanks! I did good on my dessert but I had a harder time saying no to pasta. :(
LADYBUD2 9/27/2009 6:47PM

    Welcome back!! It sounds like you did ok!! I don't know how you can eat a bite or 2 out of a dessert and push it away! That's great! I hope I can do that!! You are an inspiration!! emoticon


Yoga?

Friday, September 11, 2009

I just read an interesting article about how yoga can help create more awareness of fullness and help prevent overeating. I can believe that. It also makes me wonder if maybe I can do yoga videos on my off running days. It would certainly help my muscles and my surgery knee, if I do it in conjunction in my stationary bike.

Speaking of which, the fact I had to post my TMI today made me get on the bike this evening. I decided not to walk the dog b/c my tibia is still a little tender (although it doesn't hurt when I walk), but a few unexpected things distracted me when I would have gotten on my bike earlier today. Since I forgot to do it, I did my exercise later tonight, but I'm really glad I did. What I don't get it is that SP says I burned a whopping 430 calories on the bike and I can't really believe that. The bike says I only burned 275.

I stayed within my calorie range, but only just. The good news is that I ate a lot of veggies today. But I should have eaten only half of the ice cream tonight. Luckily I stopped at 3/4 since it was just too sweet.

  I bought a Yoga book called " Molly Fox's Yoga Weight Loss Program" it is really educational and I enjoyed reading it and learning yoga for weight loss.

    I have always been kind of hesitant to try Yoga b/c I have poor balance but I've finally decided to take the plunge and have signed up to start taking a Yoga class once a week.

    I suggest for a beginner to get rondey yee. He has a beginners dvd, and it shows you each pose and how to do them correctly, and common mistakes. I have just started doing Yoga. I feel better after doing it. It's something that's going to take time to get better at. At least for me, I am not at all flexible. But its not just about stretching.
LADYBUD2 9/11/2009 8:24AM

    I never really tried yoga. I got a book on it once and tried the postions in it and my back started hurting (I have a bad back anyway). All in all, it sounds like you doing great, keep up the good work!! Lyn

Tibia pain

Thursday, September 10, 2009

I don't have shin splints, per se, but if I touch the muscles to the left side of my right tibia, the muscles are enflamed a little. They hadn't been causing me pain while walking or running until today when they hurt a little walking, so I cut my walk short and iced my leg. It feels a lot better now, but I'll take it easy tomorrow.

TMI:

Stayed within my calorie range and ate carrots and peanut butter for snack, so that was a good thing.

Went for my run today and didn't have pain, but cut the walk with the dog short b/c my tibia hurt a little. I'll continue to ice it and take it easy tomorrow.

    Thanks, guys! I'm icing it a lot today even though it doesn't hurt very much. Icing helped a LOT yesterday!

STACEYSGETNFIT 9/10/2009 8:55AM

    Don't mess with bone pain -OUCH! I know what you mean - I was feeling it in my knee after a lot of lunges and squats yesterday...urg! Give yourself a rest day and ice 'em if need be!

Hugs,
Stacey
