Getting back on track.
I went back to the gym yesterday for some cardio and actually went OVER an hour because I was feeling so good. Today I was feeling really sick (again!), because of my irritable bowel syndrome. I did not go to the gym because the symptoms could have caused... well, best not to go into deal. I did however get some exercise in here at the apartment, which is better than nothing :)
I am going to go back to weighing myself starting March 1. Both this time and the other time I thought I should stop weighing myself, my motivation to go to the gym slipped. I don't know if this is "healthy" and I need to get to a place where I want to work out every day for fun and for my own good. Seems like I'm not quite there yet.
I am really looking forward to Spring and exercising outside! I am going to CA for my Mom's birthday which is exciting. Also, there is a walking trail there that I was not able to complete last time because of my physical pain. I am hoping to try it this time, so I am going to warm up with some uphill walking on the treadmill this week.
Love,
Elizabeth
I have no idea why it would be unhealthy to weigh yourself everyday. Perhaps it is unhealthy to obsess over a certain number on a scale, but it seems completely reasonable to me that one of the motivations for exercise is weight management. I know many, many people, some who have been thin their whole lives, that weigh themselves daily, like brushing their teeth. It's just part of the routine.
