I'm wondering how much exercise I'll be able to do in the upcoming months... Yoga last week stretched my arms of course. Tonight my right shoulder is ACHING. BADLY. Fortunately, I have pain meds. But now I'm not taking any anti-inflammation drugs, which I can't use after the 11th anyway, as I'm having a colonoscopy on the 22nd of this month. It may just be because it is so COLD out though my apartment is warm enough. I broke the shoulder about 15 years ago. It may need surgery as it wasn't done when it was broken - it healed on its own. Maybe surgery will make it worse. Maybe it is part of the aging process with a broken bone, thankfully it's not a leg. Maybe I can do yoga every other week if this is too much. And limit the raising of the arms above the head. I'm not sure what to do right now, I really did enjoy the yoga but don't want to do any long-term damage...ALSO - strict induction during this refocus bootcamp. I need to get to my goal weight. Sure I'm thin already. But what am I doing? Constantly eating tortilla chips here, a taco shell there, and I'm plateauing. The Christmas Eve dinner is once a year but I think I gained over five pounds from that one meal... I can do this - I lost 12 pounds in September. But gaining it back is easier than losing it. A gym membership will be coming up in the months ahead once I get a bike in the spring, but I want to get to my goal weight. I'm tired of friends constantly eating junk food and offering it to me. It would be OK if I was 139 lbs. like I was when I was 20 years old at 6'3" skinny as a stick, but I'm not, so I need to journal EVERYTHING I eat. I can do this. I'm sure a lot of you on here are dealing with the same issues. I don't even live with anyone and I'm constantly being tempted to cheat on this diet!!!
