October 26, 2005~~Starting Physical Therapy

I am not doing well with exercise. I have been hurting alot lately. I dont know if it is the cold or the rain Or Both. I am having trouble just walking. I get a few steps and my calf cramps on me. The physical therapist says he thinkd that with some stretching and muslce strengthing in the core area that I should be much better. Also I should be taking an anti Inflammatory to help with the swelling on that nerve. He also said that the trouble that I am having is consistant with the nerve being damaged. So I will work on strengthing and limbering up.

So I did not complete the 2nd week of Project:You! or I am starting what should be te 3rd week but I have not done any this week. I dont know when I will be able to start doing it again. but I have it here when I can.

I gained 2 pounds again this week. I just dont understand it. I was mostly on plan. I had larger portions on Friday but the rest of the week, I was on plan. I am starting NBU again. Move in starts today. I got moved in and am expecting to do well this time.

I plan on shopping on Saturday and cooking as much as I can afterwards and packaging it up. I will buy some morch Chicken Breast, Ground Turkey Breast, Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Mushrooms, Cabbage, Winter Squash, Peppers, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes (maybe), Tomatoes, Tomatoe Sauce, Pineapple, Apples and Bananas.

I think I will make Turkey Sauseage, Potatoes Wedges, Baked mashed Squash, Broccoli with Mushrooms &Onions, Poached Chicken in Taco Sauce. This way I will be ready for meals. And That is all I will eat. And I will drink all of my water! Try to exercise on my Gazelle doing a walk so that my heart rate stays where it is supposed to when I am exercising.

I am hoping that I can get back on plan and finally get my self back on track and loose the weight I need to loose. I want to get back into my size 16 and 14 clothes and be comfortable. Most of my winter clothes are these sizes and I need to get back into them before it gets too cold.
