I feel mostly great, but my arms are tight as drums. I'm running in the OR all day so my legs stay warm and fairly limber. My upper body, eh, not so much. The first 2 push ups were kind of painful. It eased up after that, but was rather uncomfortable. Took a bit more time while jumping rope and found I had a better rhythm and less missteps. Could go 30+ in a row! Very happy with that.
Diet continues to go well, though I do have some concerns about intake. I don't feel hungry, but I know for a fact that I have barely cleared 1000 calories today. Same thing yesterday. As long as it doesn't start slowing me down, I'm going to flow with it. I will, however, really crackdown on taking a multivitamin a day. It's a balanced diet, but I don't want to risk any deficiencies.
Don't worry, you'll be well nourished soon.
ReplyDeleteSpoken like a doctor! During the first 2 weeks, I had a bunch of days where I felt fine until the afternoon but then had a total energy crash and needed to lie down - hope this doesn't happen to you, but I mention it in case it does. Apparently it was just my body's way of adjusting to everything - and it passed pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be amazed at how soon you'll be rockin' those push-ups! Welcome to the program Susan.
I hear you, Susan... yesterday it was my arms and today it's my butt. I guess this means something is working!
ReplyDeleteToo true. I'm happy my butt isn't sore. The arms, however...
