Weighed 120.6 at the meeting.
I'm actually quite pleased with that number since I haven't been able to run for over a week and have even had to reduce my walking. AND my daily around-the-house activity is greatly reduced also.
My back was really good on Monday and even better on Tuesday and then worse on Wednesday...probably because I did too much on Monday and Tuesday = ((
So to be able to maintain my goal weight range with greatly reduced activity is the biggest confidence booster I've had so far. I've always wondered what would happen if I couldn't run anymore...would it just be CRAZY hard to maintain a healthy weight or would I just get fatter and fatter? Would I be able to find some other activity that I enjoyed and could do to burn a similar number of calories as running?
In one aspect, I'm thankful for this back trouble because it's shown me that my appetite responds to the reduced activity so my eating is reduced also. That's a really great thing heading in to the winter months that I've dreaded for so long. Maybe I won't want to eat everything in sight come December!
And I REALLY like walking...R.E.A.L.L.Y Almost as much as or possibly even as much as running!!! And walking is something that even greatly-health-compromised people can do and benefit from. This brings me lots of comfort = )
As for the back...it is slowly getting better...but it's recovery is so easily set-back. I had to spend a couple hours in the car today...sitting is the WORST...and so tonight it's hurting more than usual.
Also, I'm pretty sure I have a bladder infection too, so now other parts of my back are hurting...and parts of my front = (
I'm excited to get my Pandora bracelet spacers next week...half-way through the fall twelve-week period!!
I have the opportunity to do a 5k in my park on November 3rd...I'd love to do it and see if I can beat my best time from last year. Gotta wait and see if my back will recover in time...
