No little boys were hurt in the remaking of a Hitchcock classic.
My weigh-in on Saturday revealed that my weight didn't move. Even with eliminating the sugars from my diet, I am still at 205. And it became a bit of a lonesome day. I had so many activities that had me running around with all 3 kids on Saturday. Hubby was busy with work. I scheduled a babysitter for the evening so I could go out to the hockey game. At the game, I stuffed my face. In part because "it was there" and free, and in part because I felt a bit of a need to get "high" on sugary cookies and soda, sandwich, brat, and wings. And I kept getting "high on sugar" all weekend. The dam broke and the flood was filling me up.
The result was a very bad belly ache last night. I am not even hungry this morning. I am forcing myself to eat my oatmeal with almond butter, cranberries, walnuts, and banana.
I know I should have exercised more last week. But I am looking forward, and not feeling guilt about last week. I did go to the gym yesterday. I paid a day pass and drop in care so that I could have the older two run around in the kid's club while I tried to run on the treadmill. Well, I've been having flank pain since last Tuesday. I went and got a urine test, but it has come back negative for any UTI. The flank pain didn't let me run for long stretches at all. It was so terrible. I walked for 45 minutes. Did a bit of a Yoga cool down and stretched. I love Yoga. It is such a great stress reliever. The flank pain remained the rest of the day and evening. I took a pain reliever (which I never do) at bedtime. Then the belly ache woke me up from sleep.
I didn't exercise this morning, but I plan to do a level of 30 Day Shred tonight and Yoga for stretching. I am hoping that my back doesn't quit on me so I can run the Valentine's 5K on Saturday. I will run tomorrow to see how I feel. I may just run/walk the entire race. The goal is to finish, not place.

I'm sorry to hear you're in pain. :( It's so hard to be motivated when you hurt; however, *wanting* to exercise and physically being unable to is equally frustrating.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon.
