Getting Back in Shape

[RileyG]

I no longer get weight loss injections because my insurance denied it. Now I have to exercise more and watch what I eat, and cut down on drinking. Prayers appreciated.

I had to tussle with someone Sunday and it irritated my leg. I didn’t work out yesterday because of the pain but I am going to work out Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The leg is still hurting today but I’m going through with the workouts. I’m stuck at 50 pounds weight loss

 

[BPPLEE]

Today will be chest, biceps and the 400 rep mace routine. Tomorrow will be shoulders, triceps, battle rope and kettlebell, Saturday will be back and the 400 rep routine again

4/21 will be one year since I started working out again. I didn’t reach my goal but I’ve lost 55 pounds and made significant gains in strength and endurance. I have reset my goal to lose another 45 pounds by New Year’s Day. Diet is the most significant way to lose weight and when I stick to WW I lose weight. I think it did good to come off my diet for a few months and let my BMR adjust. My weight stayed around the same within 5 pounds even though I ate considerably more and didn’t eat clean.
With my goal reset and just a few days on WW I am down to 285 and motivated to get to 240 by New Year’s. Actually I hope to get there sooner. When I do I am going to post my before and after pictures on my website and publish a book.

Weight is down to 280, 40 more pounds to lose in 8 months. I can do it sooner if I really try. Leg pain was awful yesterday.

 

[RileyG]

I do not exercise much because I work full time and have very little time on my hands. My diet is still terrible. Yikes!

 

[BPPLEE]

Still having leg pain. I’m going to workout with bands and dumbbells and not use the maces and kettlebells. I’m going to try not to stress my lower back

 

[BPPLEE]

The leg pain became unbearable and I had an epidural yesterday. I got a top of the line inversion table and got it put together this morning and started taking Umary Hyaluronic Acid. People swear by it.
I would really like to get back to doing 30 minutes with the mace but I’m going to wait and see how the leg pain does.

 

[BPPLEE]

I did 15 minutes of inversion this morning and plan to do some more today. I’m debating whether or not to work out.
I don’t know if it’s the epidural, the inversion, the Umary or all three but something is working.
The leg pain is almost completely gone and I don’t want to risk irritating it.
I may do a light upper body workout today I haven’t decided yet.
I go back to work tomorrow and I won’t have to do as much walking I’m the interim supervisor now
I applied for the position permanently yesterday.

WELL!!!! Things are looking up! Glad for you. On my end, I've pulled in my wings a bit back to my home gym.

Your goal sheet where you put down the future dates and expectations I think is very good. Perhaps that's one reason I failed by not having such. I was at one time 310.....got my weight down to about 230....then gained 30 back . I'm now around 260. Perhaps the goal sheet kept in front of me will help me keep a focus. Maybe by not checking weight daily or weekly one loses a connection at just what is happening to them. Anyway I'm going to put a focus on it once again using this idea you've used.

Yeah I’ve been using WeightWatchers. I have the app on my phone and it’s really easy.
