Yesterday I started Kelly's Raw Just Step, but stopped at the boxing moves, not far into it. I just did not want to push since I was doing so well. So I did Jessica Smith Walk Strong and have fun: step and stride, (with the Raw bit) 36 minutes, 216 calories and PT/ stretch for 55 minutes 100 calories. I felt no pain yesterday or pretty much all day the day before and had high hopes of being on my way to being pain free, but I went to the store yesterday afternoon and picked up one of those huge Aquafina packs of water lugging it in and out of the cart just really hit hard. When I got to the car I put it in the back seat as opposed to lifting it up and over into the trunk and backed in and dropped it on the garage floor. So, now I am icing and trying to work it out along with more Advil
I am so mad at myself. I should have just bought small packs of water. Even if it was more costly.
Today I just did PT and skipped the band pulls.
Roselyn, nice work.
Belinda, I am glad you are having so much fun and getting in some relaxing as well. That is terrible about having to have your finger drained. No time in the water really does hamper things. When I start to get something I think is infected on my fingers I soak them in some salt water and apply Neosporin or Bacitricin and it usually heads it off.
Debbie, I know how you feel about the large amount of calories. Generally, those are pretty good sized portions. I often hedge on how much oil I use and eat smaller portions on top of cauliflower rice. The funny thing is, since I have been more aware of the saturated fat I eat and eating more fruit along with my veggies, my weight has dropped. I am worried a little as I have dropped to 114.0 now. I am still hitting around 40% fat though. Calories have dropped a bit total because I am eating even more fruits and vegitables. I am not hungry. I only allow myself 1 tablespoon of cream in my morning coffee and have started making iced matcha with Milkadamia nut milk. I also am keeping the saturated fat between 20 and 25 grams or less. Totals are generally low in cholesterol. Trying to cut dairy as it is inflammatory which is a bit difficult as I was eating plain yogurt. Also I found a lot of the protein powders have cholesterol and some saturated fat. So, I am eating mostly fish and chicken, apples, berries and an occasional banana. Odd that I am getting plenty of calcium. Anyway, I did gain when I totally ignored the macros and just ate Paleo. I found I was eating 70% of my calories from fat a lot of the time when I did that. It is more choosing your foods carefully and what works I guess. I went back and looked at the descending pyramid raw workout and it says 1 hour. I guess Kelly offers the option of doing abs between sets or something.
Doreen, nice workout today.
Jolie, Body Pump usually has someone that is using a weight plate instead of the barbell. Depends on likes and fitness level I guess. It does pretty well at burning extra calories because there is very little break throughout. I think you would enjoy getting the streaming to try. I enjoyed the month of it when I got it. I am so sorry you are going through that with your son. If your son is smoking pot, it is no wonder he is not doing well in school. It makes me so angry that they are legalizing something like that. We spend so much time trying to educate our children about the harm of it and then someone comes along and says it is okay. Like taking an aspirin or something or having a couple of drinks. My husband used to do drug talks in the schools. All because someone wants to make money. As soon as the people were ignorant enough to vote it in since the pretense was "medicinal" they started setting up those stupid dispensing places on every corner. They will pay in the end by destroying peoples health, more accidents, and destroyed lives. I like to have my brain working as best I can not hampered with crap. It is depressing. I hope your son grows out of this. I would imagine once he is on his own, he will miss his home and someone who cares. They just do not get it! Sending prayers out for you. Regardless of whether he is living under your roof or not, you will still feel the anxiety and worry. That is just part of being a parent. But, he will need to find out what life is without someone to provide everything for him. BTW, it doesn't stop there as you will worry the same way over grandchildren and every family member. I sometimes think how lucky childless people are, but then what would life be without our children. I wouldn't change having my family, worries or not.
