Yippee!
I weighed in this morning b/c my hubby and I are switching our mornings to sleep in this weekend and I lost 5 pounds! Now I’m 258!!!!!!! I was in the 250’s briefly after I had strep throat but I kind of consider that cheating. This time I earned it. I know I won’t continue to lose weight this quickly but I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
Yesterday I went to the pool and ended up water walking for about 50 minutes. Holy crap! I don’t remember water walking being that hard. As much as I enjoyed it, my feet didn’t. I know, I’m the idiot who figured out she has plantar fascitis and then goes walking ON CONCRETE barefoot. This morning, even with stretches, my heel was unbelieveably tender and 2 of my toes have abrasions. The intelligent part of my brain tells me that I can’t do this workout anymore but the irrational side tells me I can do it if I modify a few things. This week I won’t be able to b/c I have a class M-F, 8-5. But next week I might try it once more and wear some of those aqua socks. Then, if my feet still rebel, I will acknowledge that this is one activity I cannot do.
Today I feel like a slacker b/c I only did a 45 minute workout but I wanted to take it easy on my feet and since we don’t have nursing on the weekends I think my hubby would have been a bit grouchy if I disappeared into the basement for 90 minutes. He and my older son have baseball today and hopefully the baby will cooperate and take a nap while they’re gone so I can do a WATP DVD. Otherwise I’m going to try to find the time to cut the grass today and get a bit more activity. I realize that I’m teetering on the brink of becoming compulsive w/exercise but for now it’s working for me so I’m not going to worry about it.
