I felt kind of bad yesterday that I didn't work out. I know that there are some of you that are viewing this blog, and I felt I disappointed you as well as myself. But the truth is...it was the best thing I could do. Just taking that one day off, my lower back is feeling better, and I felt more energized today!
I started the day on a good note! I lost 2.6 lbs. True it was probably water weight, but better a loss than a gain at this point. I, also, made sure to eat some oatmeal for breakfast vs. going without breakfast (even if I didn't eat until close to noon). I always feel that I can do a project like this...getting healthy and in better physical conditioning when I can get both nutrition and exercise to work together. The only way to move forward is to do both or you are only walking side-to-side, and not forward.
For exercise, I worked on the Leslie Sansone Walk at home! One of the many dvds I have in my exercise dvd collection. It's a good workout with more variable leg movements as well as bringing in your arms. Usually when you walk, unless you are a speedwalker, there isn't much in the way of exerting yourself. I mean, after 15 minutes (1-mile), I was sweating like mad!
I end my days with having two different types of drinks. First, I will have a vegetable juice made right from my juicer! and then before bed, I have my fruit smoothie! I found that by doing this routine, I'm not finding myself hungry when I need to be sleeping!
Loving life right now!
