I'm a little nutso, I think! I went to Zumba Gold this morning, and felt like a bird with my wings clipped; I was hemmed in by people that had a lot of trouble, which hampered my work-out. So, after class, the next Zumba instructor came in to teach a regular class, which wasn't crowded. Hmmmmmm.....so I stayed!
Two hours of Zumba with only about 5 minutes break between, and the second class was a super workout with a substitute instructor & challenging moves. I think I have a blister on my right big toe, and I had to ice my knees when I got home, lol.
The nutso part comes in because I've been having so much pain that I'm considering returning to physical therapy; tight IT bands, muscles, nerve pain, etc. Could be in part from dropping the one medication. By the way, my low serum sodium is out of the danger zone since dropping the med, so it's a must to do without it.
I felt absolutely great during the second Zumba class. Maybe my muscles & everything were tightening up from my attempts to get some walking in on the treadmill before my exercise classes. I'll stick to walking out and about! I love Zumba, Silver Sneakers Strength, and the Aqua class I went to yesterday.
I'm not concerned about the fact that I haven't lost any weight this past several days. My body is still reshaping and getting used to this lower weight. I have eaten too many sweets, of the sort I allow myself in my "diet", but haven't gone over my RDI. I've also eaten a lot of fresh produce from the farmer's markets (I'll miss them when they close)and nice lean protein in healthy recipes.
My partner is injured, just a fall that strained pectorals & a hip, but is in a lot of pain and a bit cranky. I've been doing a lot around home to make things easier, and am tolerant for the need for some comfort food around. I made some hazelnut bark last night using See's semi-sweet chocolate chips & some hazelnuts from a farmer's market; I didn't eat any! I did eat 5 of the chocolate chips, :o)
It did cross my mind during my two hours of Zumba this morning that if I really messed up my knee, I'd be messing up our household, too. I was careful, and restrained myself from the more high-impact moves.
I need to go to the store & get a few things for a new recipe I want to try tonight, Sicillian Chicken. Up & at 'em, Kat!
