What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
Good Morning,
Walking is good exercise, my chiropractor wants me to walk more, the problem is I cannot walk at the pace I need (or long distances) for aerobic workout with my arthritic knees, the pain is too much. I can walk at a leisurely pace for a while, take a break and walk some more. I get my best exercise on the stationary bike. I can do 30 minutes at a pretty decent pace. I am also doing some light weight lifting and now he has me doing some special stretching exercises for my lower back.
I've been stalled again for the past 1-1/2 weeks. Hopefully it will break soon. I know it is because I increased my calories and carbs as I was told by surgeon and NUT. I will keep the calories, but have to bring the carbs back down again.
Time since surgery: 4+ months
B: Premier Protein Strawberry Cream Shake
L: Turkey Breast Tenderloin
S: Baybel, Mary's gone crackers and watermelon
D: ? Hubby doesn't have today off since he took the whole weekend, I didn't plan anything yet. Will have to forage. We are Mother Hubbard again.
I hear you on the knees, Capogirl- That's why I don't do any major walking or running. (I don't have arthritis, but after some damage to them and carrying all this weight for years, they creak and groan with each step- hence the swimming. *nods*)
Wishing you luck on the stall break!
Downward,

Happy Wednesday! Av, how is the first week of school going? Next week is 6th grade camp for my kiddo, she is very excited and I think a tad nervous. It's going to be a hot and hazy day today due to the fires here in CA. Air quality is so bad that I am grateful that they are postponing the annual jog-a-thon that was supposed to take place Friday (when it's supposed to be 108!).
