Reprogramming in progress

I am finally starting to feel better today. May the last couple of days at work were rough with my hip and then my arms from the push-ups. Lesson learned. Everything within moderation. Even the push-up app thingy says to take a day off in between. So, I think I'm going to start going to curves three days a week and do push-ups on the alternate days. I absolutely cannot afford to get hurt. This weight loss isn't going to be at the expense of my health. Injury causes discouragement and it has held me back before. Except, in the past I just give up. This time, I’m going to figure it out and change up the routine. So next week it will look like this.
Sunday- Push-ups/bike

Monday- Curves

Tuesday- Push-ups/bike

Wednesday- Curves

Thursday- Push-ups/bike

Friday- Curves.

Saturday- off, except I will try to do something active with the family
I am also going back to menu planning. I’m going to be very diligent about planning all of my meals. Lunch will be a challenge for me on the days I go to Curves because I will have like three minutes to eat on my way back to work. My lunch may be cut by 15 minutes due to a change in schedule. I was struggling with slimfast and fruit because I just couldn’t swallow it after day three or four. But, it might work now that I am only going three days a week. It’s actually pretty sustaining. Then I can stay at work and do school work or read while on lunch a couple of day. It will make things feel less rushed.
My motivation is there. I’m ready to do this, I just need to figure out what works and learn from what doesn't. And I need to slow down. Because, trying to do everything all at once like superwoman just doesn’t work for me. Now ask me after I finally lose that 100th pound, and I might have a different take. But I’m gonna be patient and start off slow. It took me 31 years to pack on this weight; it’s not going to fall off in a month!
I’ll be back tomorrow to share my push-up madness and menu for the week. Until then, People magazine has a great article on what people across the country (including an inspiring school district in California) are doing to get healthy! You should pick it up!
