Well, yesterday was my 26th birthday, I'm officially on the other side of 25 creeping towards 30, but I feel great! Not only that, I was given a pleasant surprise that morning when I stepped on the scale. I was 170.7lbs; if you've been following that's 0.7lbs away from my first goal!! (Which means I will soo get a much needed haircut!)
I didn't get up to anything very special due to my foot; and my daughter's been ill -- but I did manage to go out for dinner with the hubs at The Keg ;) -- I had every intention of having a wicked cheat meal, but being so close to my goal I just couldn't do it, besides the salmon I ordered with steamed asparagus was friggen tasty! But no worries, I DID indulge in dessert, we split a Cherry Cheesecake, God I love Cheesecake. I ate about 1/3 of it, it was sweet I couldn't handle anymore!
Oh and some even better news!? -- Today I was able to go to the gym, change out of my air cast boot into my runners (I really think my Shoes made a huge difference, I have the Reebok Reflex, which weigh nohting and form to your foot, any other style I probably couldn't have gotten into) Anywho, I've been able to put some pressure on my foot so I thought I'd give the recumbent bike a shot, as there's not strain on any joints etc.
Verdict? I did an hour! Mind you, I was only on level 4, and pedalled at a 60-65 the whole time (which I consider a warm up) but it felt fantastic to get my leg moving again, and I just feel awesome! I love a feeling of accomplishment!
Hopefully I won't regret it later with pain, but we shall see!
I've also been testing and tasting some really awesome healthy recipes as of late, so I'll update later with the scoop on those, and some yummy pictures too!
