Exercise: 60 min yoga & meditation 60 min aqua tone

Went to PT yesterday she said my neck and shoulder injuries that I sustained during the assault at work are my C1&2 and my 1st rib . She gave me new exercises and told me that could use the recumbent bike . So I am gonna try that today along with the walking in Water . She told me the aqua tone was too much right now and to just walk and move the noodle side to side for 20 min
This is a big change for me as I am going crazy not exercising
Yes, you might be going stir-crazy, but at least now you know the proper exercises to do as you heal. The quicker you heal, the quicker you can get back to your preferred workouts!2 -

I officially hit the “reset” button on all of my celebrating and snacking on Tuesday. I’m sick of yo-yo’ing! my goal is to stay on track over the weekend to gain back some of the momentum I had before. July and August were tough months for me eating-wise. My goal for September is to stay on track for more than just the Monday-Friday week.3 -
I am beyond frustrated with myself. I decided last night that I was giving up (like always) I ate whatever I felt like at the time and I woke up this morning feeling like an absolute failure, feeling 100% regret. None of it was worth it. I just wish that when I am about to eat the bad stuff that I can remember this regret and NOT do it. I am grateful that I can feel guilty and stop myself from eating crap all day today, however, this is a vicious cycle in my life. This is why I maintain, I don't lose cause I am living this battle every single day. How do you guys break the cycle? What keeps you motivated? How do you avoid temptation? Help!!3

@Iwilldothis4myself I was definitely there. It's like reading my own life back to me. It's really hard to break the cycle here are some things I did.
1. I didn't take out all my trigger foods at once, I always felt worse knowing I wasn't eating all the bad stuff and yet seeing no change so I would save some calories for that indulgent food (ie. 1 piece of chocolate, a handful of chips..whatever) then gradually took it out of my daily. You would be surprised that you don't miss it after a while....just be careful to stick to a strict portion, have it be your treat at the end of the day.
2. When feeling frustrated I would either work out my frustrations (remember exercise is everything and anything with movement, it doesn't have to feel like work ie. Dancing, walking, boxing.. find what is fun for you, not work) or if you are too down to work yourself out I would find something I enjoy doing, whether that is reading, drawing, playing an app game. W.e to relax your mind. When you exercise you tend to be less wanting of your trigger foods because u don't want to ruin your work...And if you do give in, well you worked out so it balances
3. Have food pre cut. I know it seems like work but having your veggies and fruit made so it is ready to grab is always helpful..also remember to eat them throughout the day, little by little so you don't feel like you are starving yourself. Also water. Drink water before and after your meals, it's literally the easiest way to feel full faster and helps with the feeling of hunger. Half the time we aren't even hungry, we are thirsty but we aren't registering it as thirst.
4. Be kinder to yourself. A group member once told me "feel greatful for what you can do, not regretful for what you cant" be more positive, give yourself a break. Don't get down on yourself because you don't see those results today...they will come. You mentally picking on yourself is causing these breakdowns in the first place, you need to cut yourself some slack. I know it's harder said then done but try turning whatever negative comments that float into your mind into positive ones..for example. Negative: I could have done an extra hour of cardio today. Positive: I am happy I felt healthy enough to work out today.2 -
I hope this helps @Iwilldothis4myself0

Think my body is detoxing from the bad stuff so I'm okay with gaining a pound plus the holiday at the beginning of the week didn't help. I'm focused on this weekend making better food choices and for the rest of September!1 -

Congratulations on your championship!! Boy, you sure do have lots of options when it comes to exercise in the next little while. And when you are playing a team sport and having fun, it hardly seems like work!!2 -
