I put my back out about ten days ago. Those of you that know me know it's a chronic thing with a couple of discs in my lower back and this can happen at any time without warning...
I was in excrutiating pain for a few days and could not straighten up. Saw my osteopath two Tuesdays ago and began to feel some relief to the point that I was almost 100% by the time I saw him again last Tuesday. His treatment always leaves me a bit sore, and he advises no exercise for about 24 hours after the treatment. I'm still a bit sore but I know it will pass.
Not happy with my calorie intake...and let's face it, all calories are not equal.
It may well be time to put a bit more thought into what my calories are made up of and play around with that.
I've let sugar sneak back in a couple of times since going sugar-free a couple of months ago and it isn't easy to get back off it...
Cassie has cut back almost all wheat products and is feeling so much better for it. I am very similar. When I eat a lot of processed refined carbs my body reacts in ways that make me feel *uncomfortable* eg bloating, swelling in the joints and fluid retention and of course it stalls my weight loss.
Sorry if I'm rambling...I think this was a "thinking out loud" post but I did warn you yesterday.
Have a great day xx
FABULOUS SANDRA! ... The ramblings of a 40 - something wife and mum on a journey to be the best version of me.
You're finding your feet. Better to waver at the start and pick up steam as you go than to bolt from the start line all guns blazing only to fizzle a few hundred metres down the track.
ReplyDeletePS My start was pretty much the same but remember every small positive change makes a difference if maintained over time.
Thanks Magda, I agree. I've never kept a food diary/tracker before apart from when I did WW. Sure, I've followed "plans" that I've followed, but this is different in that I'm being 100% honest and it's forcing me to analyse what I'm putting into my mouth :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your back Sandra. Hope you recover quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlotte, frustrating not to be able to workout - you know exactly what I'm talking about.
