In the time between postings, I managed to lose some weight which made me quite happy. I was working out two to three days a week. I was doing mostly elliptical workouts although I was also doing yoga every few days as well.
Then I fell off track. It didn't happen all at once, mind you. It happened bit by bit. I had a couple of Tim Horton's treats and some tea with extra cream in it. I work in a retail store that was located near a food court and a couple of times I visited A&W for meals. That stuff is tasty but it's hard to lose weight even when you're exercising.
Then, even that ended. I ended up feeling like I pulled one of the muscles in my ass and it hurt a lot. So, I stopped using the elliptical and about two weeks later the muscles in my back decided that they really, really hated me. I was pretty much confined to the couch for a couple of days and wasn't able to do much other than work, take medication and sleep.
It also made me hungry. Very, very hungry and so I ended up snacking quite a bit. That ended up leaving me weighing about 4 pounds heavier than I was when I started this blog. So, that means I just have to get back to it. I still have to take it easy so that I can build my back up again and avoid hurting it again. I'm also recommitting to the idea of eating in a healthier way and cutting back on my calorie intake.
Today, I was on the elliptical for about twenty minutes. I was careful not to use a program I had been that was very strenuous but I did crank up the resistance a bit. I also did some planks. Here was my workout:
- Elliptical: 20 minutes, incline 0, resistance level 2, burned 200 calories
- Plank position, 2x30 second planks, spaced 30 seconds apart, 4x15 second planks, spaced 15 seconds apart
