Since I've isolated the workout and diet info into updates posts, I figured I'd dedicate newer posts to whatever else i observe. My weight has made it down to 183 lbs, slow and steady but yes, it is dropping. Im enjoying a diet rich in veggies, some fruit, whole wheat sandwiches packed with tuna, turkey, or chicken (and sometimes spinach or avocado), delicious Greek yogurt combos and healthy choice steamers when i need a quick low calorie option. I make my own milkshakes and bake treats. It took a while to get used to but i use food prep and baking time to test some of the moves i know.
I can hold my leg straight in an extended leg toe bind now! Even though my pushup strength is mediocre, my arms are toning up and i am able to plank strongly. My wrists are most of the challenge here and I take Tony Horton's words to heart when he says it counts as long as you're bending the elbow. I'm a little better off than that since i can close the gap about halfway, but i listen to my body, push myself, but understand where to stop. Havent injured myself since I've really started gauging what my muscles are up to. In fact, i have had one rest day in the past six weeks and mostly due a bad day in chronic pain rather than overdoing exercise. Mostly, i am able to work through the pain, but every once in a while,the rest day is mandatory if I want to get the most out of future workouts.
Anyways, progress is phenomenal and I look forward to every day I get to wake up and fight for better health.
