Day 194

Today is day 194 and I have been on this new journey officially 45 days today!!! And I can say, that by the power of Jesus, I have been binge free for 45 days as well. Today it is so snowy and beautiful outside, I really wanted to go out and train for my 5K using the Couch to 5K program, but I was afraid of slipping and falling on black ice. My back couldn't take a fall. Speaking of my back, I went to Physical Therapy for the first time yesterday and I was given three exercises that I am supposed to do every two hours. Holy Moly!! One is push ups = 10 push ups every two hours!! Every time I thought about dropping and doing 10, I was in inconvenient places. The first time I thought about yesterday was in the hospital bathroom. Not exactly where I want to drop on the ground and do 10 push ups. They are actually half push ups because I only lift up upper torso off the ground . . . this is to help my bulging disk go back into place. I also have very tight ham strings so I am to do ham string / calf stretches too.

Today, I am weighing back in at 216.2 and I exercised for 60 minutes this morning : 10 minutes yoga, 15 minutes dancing with Fran (he missed me- lol), and 20 minutes elliptical - intense 12 - 14 mph at an incline most of the time.

Today's menu:

Breakfast - see photo below

Lunch: chicken veggie soup and an orange

Dinner: Logans Roadhouse with friends (Lord help me).

Hope you all are having a blessed day! I'm off to get my massage, then to the hospital for visitation before going to dinner with friends!!

Enjoy the snow!!!!
