A Slow Recovery

After a few weeks of aching pain, I am finally starting to see a slow recovery from my back. I had a few remedies that is helping me out a lot. Throughout this week, I have been feeling nauseous because I have to take Iron pills, and the side effects suck! I worked out three times so far this week doing jumping obliques, torso rotations, high knee chops, and I went for walks. I am sore but I have to keep moving. I ate small this week because I kept losing my appetite from my medication, but I ate my vegetables and had plenty of fluids. I lost five pounds, I knew it wasn't going to be that much weight gone, but I am still happy. I go to Zumba today and dance for a good two hours! I am going to have a lot of fun and afterwards we will drink healthy shakes. :)

Aching, But Never Breaking! ----> :)

Time is flying by so fast, it kind of makes me nervous to see how far I get with this project. Lately, I had to take it easy with my workouts because I had to go to the doctors. I have been experiencing a lot of pain in my back from the middle down to the lower part. My doctor told me that my alignment is off and I need to take it easy for a while. I was upset, but I have been taking medication for it and will be going to a chiropractor to get it stretched and popped. I have been eating a ton of vegetables, fruits, little portions of baked meat, and some wheat bread. I also do some of the workouts I learned for standing up instead of being on the floor. It helps because my back won't be in more pain then what it already is. I have been using a calorie counter and my doctor gave me a food chart as well and another diet calendar for healthy eating throughout the day. I already knew from the start that there would be some road blocks in the way, so I prepared myself for them. I am determined to work through this, get myself taken care of and continue my journey of healthy living! Absolutely nothing will bring me down to give up on myself, I refuse to let myself do that. Every time I get knocked down, I will get right back up and keep moving forward. :)

What A Sweat!

I have had a good few weeks. All of the work I have been doing is making my body very sore! I am learning each and everyday, and I love the results I'm getting. I've worked out for a total of 20 hours for the past two weeks. I am going to go to a boot camp class tonight at seven and be there for two hours. When we are at boot camp we go through a variety of routines, I'll tell you a few. We start off doing our body stretches then we do a warm up. We do suicides, jumping jacks, run for 5 minutes, and come back together. I have to work with weights, jump rope, army push ups, sit-ups/crunches, and a lot of running! After boot camp, I have a Zumba class to go to! :) I am actually considering going back to dancing other than Zumba. I always enjoyed doing it, and it'll help me tone my body. My diet plan is a helpful source because I'm staying healthy and getting all of my vitamins. I will be updating you on my sizes in clothes to show the differences. I can't wait to see how much I weight today and see how much I lost. :)
