Thursday - June 30

I finished the day with 1856 calorie intake.  Not much in the way of physical activity.  I did not make it on a walk.  However, I ate out and did very well.  Applebees has a 7 oz steak, baked potato and broccoli that is very low on the calories.  It is very. Good and filling too.  I also had a side salad and water with lemon.

Next week, I am getting back to the gym.  Probably going to start spending an hour or so several times a week. Can't wait!

Although my food intake was within reason yesterday, I had an awful day.

I felt sick the entire day -- flushed, upset stomach, headache, then I noticed that I was broken out in some sort of rash on my legs. I, honestly, barely made it through work. When I got home, things worsened.

About 10 years ago, I fell from a small b uilding and completely blew out my left knee. I had to have it reconstructed and was in a hard cast, then walking cast for three months. Since then, it's been a bit "iffy" and weak.

Two weeks ago, I was getting into the truck and twisted it somehow. It was immediately very sore and I felt that I would have to go to the ER. Since I was leaving for vacation the next day, I just got a knee brace and tried to ignore it.

Yesterday, I re-injured it somehow and now can barely walk. I put the knee brace on last night, but it hurts worse than before. Clearly, no gym for me for a couple days!

I haven't quite decided what do do in terms of a doctor visit. I'm sure my GP will refer me ...

I had an "okay" day. It would have been a whole better if I'd gone to the gym. Instead we went and looked at a motorcycle for me. It's so hard to get to the gym; it just seems as though there's so many other things to do!!

I know that the answer is to make a committment to exercise ...

Good day yesterday! My deficit was 867!

I really enjoyed my time at the gym and am looking forward to going back on Wednesday. We aren't going tonight afrer work becuase we have an appointment to look at a motorcycle for me.

I think it's evident that making sure I get plenty of steps is key to my success!

I had an overage yesterday. I'll blame it on dinner. There was just too much on my plate and the foods were all calorie-laden Remind me to not let Michael cook!

Today is definately a gym day! I am VERY excited to get back to an exercise routine.

I am also going to White Feather Farms and get some fresh chicken. Their chickens are free-range and drug free.

Some gardening and housework will round out my day off.

Have a great day!
