Hmmmmm...
I have asked myself that quite a few times over the last few weeks.
Is my medicine working? Am I back to being me?
I am not sure what the answer is yet. I woke up this morning refreshed and with hope, and if you only knew the events my weekend and Monday you would be amazed to hear that.
I haven't had any inkling of knee or leg pain in a few days so I am going to get on the treadmill at some point today and see what happens. I am going to stretch before hand, take it slow, and stretch afterwards.
I am still struggling with eating. Funny how I went from not being able to control myself around food to not being able to make myself eat food.
This morning I re-read yesterday's post and tried to get excited about my achievement. I'm still not there. BUT it did make me realize that I am only 8 lbs away from achieving my goal. That is something to be excited about.
I am starting to feel my desire to blog returning. I hope my blog mojo returns in full soon.
That's about it for today.
How are you all doing? How is the training going? How are you?
Love you all!

Am I Back?

Michelle Just take one day at a time...
Hey, if I may suggest, dont try any jogging at all today. When my knee was hurting a couple of weeks ago, I was just walking to work (about 3 miles) to get my exercise in. You "kneed" to build you strength back up before you do any jogging. It really helped mine out, but I dont think that I did it for a long enough period. Once your strength is back in your knee, you shouldnt have any problem getting back to where you were. Love you Sis!!
Well I guess the knee problems are contagious.... After my 4 mile run last Tuesday my knee ended up hurting. Went to the Dr and he said my shock obsorbers in my knee was getting too much work and to not jog for a week. So I haven't and it has been frustrating. I am going to my Crim training tonight but hoping to at least walk the 3 miles that is on schedule. In the meantime yesterday I did a upper body workout. Met with a trainer who has given me a routine with all the machines that I will be incorporating in my schedule of new workouts.
I am so glad you are close to your goal weight Michelle. Keep up the good work.
Don't you hate it when you feel like you should just "snap out of it" with the depression? I just got caught up with your blogs and I got the impression that you think you should "snap out of it" even though you know it doesn't work like that. This is a true issue and isn't something you can act happy and get out of it. Just remember that you're not in control here. Perhaps God is working something in you that can only come in the form of this depression.
I've been out of touch for a few days. My apologies! I've been feeling run down with some nastiness but am on the mend again. I haven't been training for the past week. I did on the first day that I didn't feel well (no pain, no gain, right?) but it ended up making me feel worse. So I laid off it. Tomorrow I'm hoping to start my morning routine up again and get my three days in this week!
With all that said... you're in the hundreds!!! You've been SO excited about this for so long. It makes me sad that you're not jumping up and down because you met a goal that you've worked so hard towards. Who's to say that it's 100% because of the depression/meds? A lot of people think they'd gain weight while on birth control pills but a lot of people don't. And for those who do, I think sometimes they gain the weight just because it was "expected" ya know as a side effect? Not saying that your loss is due to that, but it could be a factor.
Blogging everyday can feel like a chore... like work. I want you to feel excited again. It's contagious. I understand needing a break so you owe it to yourself to not only be honest, but to give yourself that break. You've been enouraging and motivating from day one. Even on your weekends, you're no doubt thinking and/or working on material for your blogs! Even God needed rest!
I'm famous for my long comments. I just can't help myself! I love you!
