Let’s Talk Food and Physical Therapy

Ok, as you know, I lasted indicated to you that I was down 2 or 3 pounds as I began my journey.  And, as I weighted this morning, I was tempted to cry.  I am back to that 215 mark and not happy about it.  Here’s what’s been happeing though, just for the record…

• I ran out of thyroid medication on Friday and forgot to get it filled and since my husband and I both are battling the flu, I didn’t get it today.  That alone could cause an increase in 2 pounds just because my face is severely swollen as are my hands and feet. 
• My foot still hurts quite a bit so I am still using the exercises on my EASports Active that are static.  I’m dying to try my hand at volleyball but my one session about mid-week last week left me with a really achy foot.  So, I vowed to go back to the actual physical therapy and static exercises to build strength
• I have found that habits are easily formed and not easily broken.  Basically, I have always been a midnight snacker, and luckily for me I have become addicted to carrots and Light Ranch Dressing as opposed to chocolate covered donuts. 
• I actually managed to return to drinking more soda than water last week as I was out and about at my son’s school and it was easier to just grab a soda.  And, with this little flu bug bothering us, we ran out of the kind of water we prefer (I know, we could drink the water from the faucet but it is really disgusting and chlorinated heavily). 

So, I attempt to keep doing the physical therapy on my foot doing the static exercises and return to drinking water more than soda.

That’s it in a nutshell…
