Is it all in my head....
Jan 08, 2012
or do I have more energy already? I weighed in with my nutritionist on wednesday and I have lost 17 pounds since I started eating sensibly. Of course, I am hungry all the time, but still, seventeen pounds!!!This week I noticed that I seem to have more energy. Yesterday was a beautiful day and Bob and I spent some time outdoors, trying to clear up all the branches in the yard. Of course, I was the one assigned to walk around and pick up branches to put in our fun fire! Bob's fake knee and back are really bothering him, so I try to do all the walking when I can.
So, here I am with an armful of branches, and I hang my foot up in a cluster of small stumps. I trip, fall, and very ungraciously try to catch myself. Fail, land on right shoulder and knee and roll onto the patio like a very uncoordinated dumpling! Bob is totally freaked out and of course I'm fine. Fast forward to today, however, and O MY! I am really sore. My right arm caught my not insubstantial weight, and my right triceps, elbow and shoulder are extremely sore! My right leg also took quite a jar, and is very sore today. But, no bruises!! Apparently I am tougher than I think, or maybe just very thick skinned...
So I had a great day Saturday, and made a dent in the massive pile of branches, but today I was a sore, wimpy whiner who got nothing done....
Up until today I have had a pretty good week, so maybe my little fall and resulting soreness is just me getting back to baseline.
I just hope that this more energetic me returns tomorrow, since I've got shopping to do!
I am sitting here tapping away at my laptop and very very hungry. Trying to think of a high protein snack with low carbs and low fat to make my belly shut up long enough for me to fall asleep. Cottage cheese here we come!
