MOUGHI's CalorieKing blog
Monday, Aug 9 2010 - take it easy girl
View MOUGHI's food & exercise for this day
I was being given my PT exercises today and was remind that some exercises were to be done twice a day and others just once. The stretches were just once a day because the shoulder were there tears took place are still subject to being re injured. Thus, taking it slow is safe. 
Unfortunately that means you cant speed up the recovery process no matter how much you want to. At church I am scheduled to start teaching a class in February. I was asked a while back if I thought I would be ready by September, well know I am glad I said no.
I'm still waiting waiting on my custom shoes to come in. They should be here any time now. I can't wait to see if the money and long wait are really worth it. It would be really nice to rehab in a pair of running shoes that fit.
Food wise I am running about 300 calories over my target. The remedy for that would be consistent exercise. I had consistent exercise going until the surgery. Yep, I know what I have to do now. I think this goes into that work it back into my routine slowly though for the reason the PT gave me. Thankfully, I am learning patience and realizing it takes time to put everything together.
I used to get really down on myself when I didn't get things put together. THen, I realized when I did this I set myself up for worse failure. After all, I'm not God. I am not perfect and to expect perfection from myself is unrealistic. I was setting unrealistic standards on myself from the start. How much weight I should lose, what standards that would determine my success , etc. All this time I set myself up for disappointment and failure. It's taken me three years of ironically disappointments and failures to realize that realistics goals and not going beserk when I have an off day is part of living life with food.

Hi Lory - thanks for the hello on my blog. I have definitey learned some of the same lessons as you over these years. When I started from my high weight it was so easy to set goals such as lose X lbs in a week. But over the long run, you have to redefine what success is and give yourself permission to be human while not sabatoging everything you worked hard to obtain.

Hi Lory, I haven't been around for about a year in the checking of the blogs - and yours is one of the first that I checked with. SO GLAD YOU ARE STILL AROUND and slogging it out. Sorry to hear that you are down, and had to have surgery. That puts anyone back. But you have a wonderful GET ON WITH IT attitude, and will do well. KEEP UP THE WORK THAT YOU CAN DO - and things will go well. Best Wishes to you.

Hey Lory! I firmly believe that weight loss would be easier if we didn't have anything else to ever deal with, don't you think? Pretty unrealistic, but I can keep wishing!
