I feel like a human Yo-Yo. Just dealing with the same three pounds for a month now, it seems. Considering a little fasting to see if we can't break through this monotony.
While working out at the gym 5 days a week, I am moving towards more bicycle and treadmill work- vs. weight machine things. I have to do the leg- extension widgets for my knees- as it was part of the PT from knee surgery- and helps tremendously with pain reduction. The leg press is a killer for my right knee, so I've eliminated that for now. Doing the hip/thigh aduction generates a good kind of pain that I think is beneficial. Not a real muscle builder so much as stretching and toning.
From a food standpoint, I think it might be time to just do a total carb overhaul, and see what I should cut out. Anything with wheat gives me horrific pain in the upper and lower GI, so that's been out for awhile. I added in Quinoa and wild rice, and some brown rice here and there. I mix them with sliced almonds to cut the total carb count but create more in texture. Dairy is all but gone- except for a little butter and once in a while- a little bit of cheese. (Sprinkle of parmesan or crumbles of feta). But, I guess I can just 86 the rice/grains and go from there.
feeling a little defeated at the moment, but I can see a few areas where I could make some improvements- so we shall go from there.
Sorry for blathering on...just thinking outloud I s'pose-(which is really what my journal is for.) Have a blessed day all!
