Slow progress, but progress none the less. Weight-wise, my body is still fighting me to pull me back into it's comfort zone of the 160's so even slow progress (ranging around 159) is progress. I've even been good on weekends, no cheat day. Choosing non-food rewards as treats for progress. Friday, instead of cheat day, I treated myself to an hour long massage! I'd been walking at least 2 miles a day, which isn't a lot for me. So my muscles were thankful for that and were happy to skip the steak and cheese and glass of wine!
When I say 2 miles isn't a lot for me, I have always been a walker/runner. I took a 'long' time off due to injuries. My muscles are tight in my Achilles (part of the reason I stopped walking tendonitis), hips and calves. So it's hard to accept that 2 miles could make my muscles so tight!
I plan to amp up my workouts this week but really had to focus on stretching today. Unfortunately the reality of growing older is that if you don't stretch it, you'll be set back even further by an injury. I see it all of the time with folks 50+ (and it starts in the 40's with the occasional 'support bandages' etc). Many of us have been there. Unfortunately I have done it myself, to myself. Slow and steady'🐢 sucks if you've ever been at your peak, and it's boring. It's now work, but it's needed to keep us going. Be the turtle.
