Long time no blog …
And yes, I’ve gained weight. Again. And I’m feeling it, I’m not liking it, and I’m starting back on a better path. Today. Charging up the Bodymedia Fit and we’ll see how it goes. The bad part is that I am kind of stuck at home most of the day right now, we are having our front porch and walkways and steps all redone out front, so I need to stick tight in case the workmen or the contractor needs me for any decision making. There’s been a lot of that, and it’s all a bit stressful, but I think we will like the end results and our walkways and porch will be safer, with handrails, finally. One thing good, access in and out of the house right now is through the garage only, so I’m getting more movement up and down the basement steps. My knee is complaining a bit about it though.
This morning, I did a short 5 minute round of basic cardio, walking in place, side to side, knee-ups, I tried mountain climbers, which didn’t go all that well, but I did some. Most of the cardio I had to fudge, because some of it required hops and jumping, which I can’t really do, but I got out of breath, so it was something.
For weight training, I did counter pushups, seems I haven’t totally lost strength there. I started a 100 pushups style program, will see how that goes. Next pushups happen Wednesday.
I’ve had a bowl of Kashi GoLean cereal, plus milk, almost a cup of blueberries, 7g walnuts, 15g protein powder and some greens powder so far today and that is keeping me feeling relatively full. Drinking a pot of mint green tea as well.
Oh, my weight. Yeah, I knew you’d want to hear about that. I’m not sure I feel like telling at the moment. I’m not even sure I want to blog again, but then again, maybe it is better that I do. But I’m not promising anything about that. I definitely have to take this one day at a time.
Welcome back. So good to hear you’re well, knees and scale phobia notwithstanding. Do do do keep blogging. You may inspire me to start up again! Ang x

I think the plan is just to take it easy, do a little exercise, eat less. I don’t feel highly gung ho at the moment, but I am pleased that I’m doing something small daily towards better health. Well, I was until my legs went to jelly after doing sit-down, stand-up style squats. Still, some little bit of exercise I can fit in the day is better than nothing. Though I think I am chickening out of going to the gym this evening. It’s just getting too blamed cold out.
