@batgirl140 I hurt my hip late 2017 exercising, tried to increase my cardio, and twisted my hip over the course of 6-8 weeks of trying to run, which is crazy considering I weight train as hard as I do, had to get it realigned, but the thing that helps me now is stretching, something you may want to look into since you're probably doing something like I did, increasing your activity....
And as for your salt, it IS a mineral the body needs, and recently I read an article written by a doctor who suggested it's hard to consume too much sodium that your body won't use or flush with water consumption, so that's something to think about....
@AB0215 I do need to incorporate stretching. I enjoy it. I’m not going to increase my activity but try to continue what I’ve been doing. See how it goes. As far as salt I do have to watch, my legs and feet swell. Need to better my circulation then I won’t have to worry so much. 😊2 -

Track: no
Calories: over, I’m sure
Exercise: house cleaning and 20min walk
My husband is having his tonsils removed tomorrow and it’s a rough 2 week recovery for adults. I’ve been anxious about it and going crazy cleaning the house so I feel more prepared. I’ve found it hard to focus my energy on eating at a deficit. I hope I can get back to it shortly.3 -

Comments: Today was a very good day. Made low carb sesame chicken with cauliflower rice for dinner, and I was impressed with how that turned out. I improvised on the recipe, didn't fry the chicken in oil, not that the coconut oil would have been too bad, but I used my air fryer instead...and that worked reaaaallly well....so I'll take that.3 -

@batgirl140 That makes sense. I do know that one of the best ways to combat excess salt intake, is extra water, so it could help to drink more water if you over consume your salt....flush it out maybe...
And supposedly stretching (and yoga) and exercise, cardio and weight training can help to improve circulation, so I think you're doing great and you'll be improving your overall health in no time

@kathleenford04 That IS rough, hang in there. Remember that you do need to take care of yourself to take care of others! So don't forget you while you're helping your hubby recover!kathleenford04 wrote: »

Didn’t sleep well, and tiredness always makes me over eat, also had stressful conversation with energy provider. But thankfully my deficit from the day before balanced it all out. Hoping for a happier Wednesday.3 -

Great Monday got another Zumba in tonight. Feeling great to start the work week.
Do you do Zumba in a class or at home? If at home, what do you follow? I tried it for the first time a week ago and I really liked it! Just want to see if anyone recommends any workouts
I got to a class for it at the gym I go to. I have some DVDs but I kinda like the atmosphere and energy from going to the class. The instructor that I usually go to is extremely enthusiastic about Zumba and fitness in general.
Good teachers make all the difference!1 -
Daily Post: Tuesday
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes!
Exercise: Cardio and strength training at the gym.
Comments: Was at a deficit yesterday and today is going well too so far. Trying to keep my deficit streak. I've been working hard and don't want to waste anymore time or trash my hard work with one day. I haven't been weighing in every day and it kind of helps me because it drives me to work hard on the day I didn't weigh in to make sure to see a result the next day. Weighing in everyday used to help me as well so I guess it's just a matter of changing things up a bit.4 -

@SLIMn2016 On days that I don't feel good, I get up and drag myself through a workout, I may not lift as heavy or go has hard on cardio, but it usually helps me to feel better, and I realize that not everyone is like me, but you know your body, and rest isn't a bad idea either...
.... I dragged myself yesterday, bc I train with my son on Tuesdays---and I don't want to miss a session with him--- and it was grueling--- I felt good for about 20 minutes after while my endorphins were still running---then I crashed and burned hard. So today was a good day for a rest and tomorrow, back in the gym I go!
I see all of you working hard and it is so inspiring!
Keep up the awesome work
--- and PUSH AWAY THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS---
YOU GOT THIS--WE CAN DO IT!!
---NO MATTER WHAT THINGS HAPPEN--just HIT RESTART ASAP!!
HAPPY HUMP DAY ALL!!!

Track: yes
Calories: over
Exercise: no
I had cravings, it was too cold to go aqua aerobics and my knees are still sore, so I didn't even go for a walk
I was watching dr Now and people, who weight 600lbs. I relate so much with them and have fear to gain same amount: I also have cravings I often give into. I don't want to walk as my knees hurt... It's so easy to gain and so hard to lose pounds...
