View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Happy FRIDAY to all! As stated yesterday I scheduled all my tests; tomorrow are the spinal (Lumbar) x-ray and mammogram, Monday is the ultra sound, Wednesday is the bone density test and the following week is the consult with the Gastroenterologist to see about the colonoscopy. So its done! I feel a little relieved to have everything scheduled but Im most nervous about the spine x-ray, I do think something is wrong and Im a little worried about what it is. 
Luckily for me my Chiro (Dr. Ted) goes to my gym, last night Dr. Ted, Elle and I discussed my progress, limitations and allowed exercises. Elle was happy to have his input it makes it easier to make sure I dont get injured. We are all anxiously awaiting the x-ray results for right now, no twisting or bending forward (i.e. dead lifts, toe touches).
Trust me these limitations dont stop her from killing me; I burned 717 calories last night. I am noticing that although Im right handed and should be stronger on the right side, I am having a lot of shoulder pain (rotator cuff, collar bone, upper arm) on the right side; probably from when I dislocated my shoulder and separated the collar bone years ago. My right arm seems to be weaker than my left but my balance on the right is better.
Once again, Im inpatient; frustrated I want to go! This probably why\how I always end up hurting myself every time I start exercising again and why I have Elle to protect me from myself and guide me through the waters. We incorporated three new exercises yesterday that were very challenging. I just have to remember to be patient with myself. I guess patience will be just as much a part of my journey as weight loss will be.
The scale is up today 1lb 3oz but I ate back all my exercise calories last night as asked and my weight is up. I find if I eat back calories burned (as suggested) but only up to 1200 calories, I maintain or lose; otherwise, I gain. So going forward 1200 is the limit for replacing what was burned. Elle reduce my daily intake from 1479 to 1400 CK had me at 1500 could you imagine???
I guess thats it for now, not feeling to hot today, allergies have me in a fog and Im feeling a little dehydrated from the antihistamine so off to get some water.
My inspiration for today is very cliché
Patience is a virtue!
