Hi all; had a great time in US of A. New Orleans wasn't so great (part of that was work), but took OH over to northern Florida, Pensacola Beach, and it was superb. Didn't do much exercise, to be honest, other than a lot of swimming, and I definitely put a few pounds back on from eating stuff I never eat anymore, like bread, potatoes, waffles...all those terrible simple carbs! I think I needed the splurge, however. I still fit in my clothes, just a bit snug.
Have been back at the gym, not quite as intense as they have now started turning air off at night while closed, so it is like an oven in the morning when I go in. It's pretty difficult to work out at my normal fairly high intensity at those high temperatures without feeling sick. So I've had to ramp down intensity a bit, while complaining to management over and over. Knee is still a bit wonky, have a referral with another therapist in a couple of weeks.
I'm not updating here constantly any more...sorry, but too often feels like I"m talking to myself! But will stop in as I can. Do keep at it, everyone, I'm not worried about my few extra pounds as I know they are coming off, and working out is such a positive thing for you, mentally as much as physically.
