Did my last chiropractor appointment before my biking vacation with my brother and the back feels "better" I don't feel 100% but it's going to be enough to get on my bike and hit the trail while I'm there. It's 3 more sleeps til I get to his place and I'm REALLY excited about being with my brother and doing some solid exercise. The plan is to bike for most of the day and then sleep for the rest of the time x one week. lol
Also, my man and I have been walking 5 miles for the past 2 nights, he's doing 10 miles because he comes and gets me from work and then we walk home together. I've been finding that it's a great way to connect with him and just chat it up on the way home. We've been laughing and talking non-stop (which we love to do) and it's giving me a good feeling about exercising again and I am already planning my aerobics classes for when I come back from holiday.
Also, another thing... my man and I have been talking about me cutting back on my time at work versus at school. And we came to the conclusion that I am going to cut my working back to 15-20 hours a week (instead of the 45) and still continue to do full time studies. I can't begin to tell everyone what a weight this is off my shoulders. Although this plan isn't going into effect until September I feel 20 pounds lighter.
And speaking of 20 pounds, I saw a friend of mine tonight (she did gastric a couple of years ago) and of course she's thin but I have to say... I saw saggy-arm-flesh that comes with losing too quickly and not working out fast enough to make it tighten up and I thought to myself how THANKFUL I am to MYSELF for choosing the WW and exercise because I will never have that saggy arm and then wish I could get plastic surgery. It is going to take me longer than her to lose the weight but when I do ... LOOK OUT!~!
