Well, I've stayed away from the gym and any type of real exercise for a week in hopes that the muscles will heal. It's getting a little better, but is still rather painful toward the end of the day. I have a follow up doctor's appointment this coming week and will ask my doctor about it. I may ask about going to physical therapy a couple times a week for a couple weeks. Maybe they can give me some pointers on how to help with the healing process and prevent this in the future because I have no idea what I did to hurt myself. It's very frustrating!!
Thanksgiving went better than I expected. I stayed away from the desserts. I made sweet potato casserole using splenda brown sugar and it tasted pretty good, surprisingly. In fact, I think I liked it better than the old way I made it. I think everyone else liked it also because I had no leftovers to take home.
I can't seem to stay below my 1400 calorie threshold the dietician set for me. I come close, but I seem to always fall between 1400 and 1500 calories. I think I need to add more veggies to my diet to fill me up more. I like fresh veggies the best, but it seems that they go to waste when I buy a lot of them. I just can't seem to use them up fast enough. I like the frozen veggies, but I'm a little pickier about which ones I like frozen.
This life-style change is definitely a process that needs re-evaluation all the time. The people on this site have really helped with giving me new ideas--some have worked for me and some haven't, but all ideas are appreciated. The dietician has helped also, but now I need some professional assistance either from a personal trainer or physical therapist for my exercise issues. Always tweaking things to suit my needs, but hopefully will have things perfected soon--if that is even possible.

Keep tweaking things and you will find the best plan for you. I just checked your weight loss history and you have lost 39 pounds since August. Maybe try what HCB does and every now and then post your progress so far. It is a good way to see how far you have come. Hope that muscle heals up soon.

As far as I can tell on your weight history graph, you're doing just fine. It looks like you burn around 2000 calories per day - if you eat less than you do now you're gonna end up stalling. If you ask me, just keep doing what you're doing. Don't starve yourself. Losing weight is NOT about not eating. It's about keeping your body happy, but with a calorie deficit. For me, 1000-1500 calories below what I burn is where I lose weight most efficiently. If I go lower, I stall. So - in short - whether you're doing 1400 or 1500 calories, you're gonna lose weigh tno matter. :)
