Today is my rest day this week so I decided to take off the wrist and ankle braces and just do some light stretches, staying off of them as much as possible but still testing them. It will still be some time before I can use my wrists properly but I'd like to try to go back into week 1 PiYo starting Monday. No weight loss, now weight gain, but again, really progress in muscle tone and flexibility, posture and balance, even with the injuries forcing modification. I'm not sure why I haven't been able to lose weight yet, but that may be a thing I'll have to take to a doctor eventually. I'm eating healthy and moderately (not starving or binging) and I'm getting a lot of great exercise so it's quite possible that not being able to be a normal weight is tied in with my chronic illness. I won't give up on it-- I wanted this lifestyle change whether it meant having a bikini body or not. I still believe that I can overcome obstacles and reach my goals, but I've become more realistic about it, given my age and health problems. Being able to wake up and actually jump out of bed (not just roll or creak about) is huge. Having more focus and energy is huge. I'm thick, but I'm not huge. Lol. I at least take comfort is that my weight is not in obesity. There's comfort in simply being overweight, but I know I can go further and feel better.
I really look forward to seeing where things go into the next few months. I'm learning more about myself than I ever thought possible.
