We had children's day at church and a big picnic potluck afterwards. Luckily there were some healthy things (unusual...) like watermelon, tomatoes, broccoli salad and deviled eggs. I had a small plate and am feeling pretty energetic although my knee is still hurting.
Of course I'm over reacting - thinking that I am much too out of shape to do this program... I used to be pretty healthy and then had a rough patch in my life when I became kind of a recluse and ate a lot and fell into a big mudpit of sadness. That landed me in a not so good place. But I faced the music, decided to choose life and lost about 35-40 pounds in the past two years. I started exercising and have kept it pretty consistently 2-3 times a week. I'm proud of the progress I've made, considering where I've come from! Still... insecurity.
I will rest my knee.
I will take my time and do my best.
I am doing the best I can.
My little mantra - I'm doing the best I can.
Okay team. Thanks for being so very encouraging! I'll catch up...one step at a time.

Insecurity is a tough demon to shake...but, keep on going, Deb! We are behind you 100%. Even if you don't do all sets of everything, what you do is progress. Push yourself but be kind to yourself, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe knee will get better. A sore knee in the first few weeks is the most common PCP complaint.

Ice the knee and elevate!
ReplyDeleteI believe in you! The successes you'll get from this will far outweigh any pain, i'm positive...and I haven't finished it myself. Push through, we have your back.

I had a rough patch when I broke up with my boyfriend last year. I used to do a lot of exercises and I had private work out class once a week but because of difficult relationship with people at my sports club (my boy friend is an instructor at the club) I quit everything. I knew it was not good for me at all but I just lost all my motivation that time. I lost confidence, muscles, friends and I gained weight.
ReplyDeleteBut I am happy now that I met PCP and do my work out and share my blog with people all over the places! This is great!
Thanks everyone. I'm soaking up the encouragement!
