Oh wow, it's been almost a month since I last posted? Oops.
I am still working out. But nothing like I should be. Pushups here. Situp there. A few crunches. etc.
The dvd player in the bedroom has eaten my ABRipper dvd. Hubby needs to get a special tool to open it up. He's fairly confident he can rescue it. God I hope so!
So, what's been happening, you ask?
Low Carb. Well, trying to anyways. I've reduced them dramatically and yes, there have been days where I've had 20 grams or less. BUT there have been days where I needed to have something carby and just fell off. Not majorly, no pasta or anything like that, just a slice of bread or something small. I'm working on it, really.
I've not weighed or measured myself since May 30th. I weighed 155 lbs that day at Publix. That was a horrible number for me to see. It didn't shock me but confirmed what I was seeing and feeling. And this time around, it's not from muscle.
Its hotter than heck here. And the humidity is sky high. Uggg. But this morning, I forced myself to get dressed, put on the Shapeup shoes and walked. 20 minutes. No biggie but man, I got eaten up by mosquitoes, there are night jasmine in bloom (smells beautiful but uh, not when you are breathing harder than normal) and the air was just so damn still. But I did it. Probably a mile or so, will clock it on way to work.
Only thing is, the small of my back was aching very very badly half way through. I've heard of others saying this when wearing these shoes. They make you stand different. AND I find myself stepping hard, almost jarring. I think that might be what caused the back pain? I'm fine now, no lasting effects from it but still.
This is also the first time that my calves didn't cramp up. Maybe wearing these shoes during errands IS helping out :)
So hop to it folks. Get back on the wagon & move it!
