Sunday, Week 32 (with Progress Update)

So, here's my first progress update in a while. Like I said, I did have some back-sliding, but mostly I'm still within my maintenance ranges.

Stats:
Weight: 116.2lbs (goal weight 110-115)
Waist: 26.75 inches (goal 24 - 27)
Below Waist: 28.75 inches (goal 26 - 29)

Today my muscles are a tad sore - the first time in a while. So, that's a good thing. I need to start re-conditioning my body if I'm going to re-join the trapeze class. Perhaps that will really motivate me to get back into things.

I suppose there have been a few stumbling blocks for fitness lately. Obviously, the surgery is one. Exercise had been my main hobby and stress-relief. Cutting that out has been difficult mentally. Couple that with physical pain from surgery recovery, and it was a huge hit.

A second one is that work has become pretty crazy lately. I feel like I'm behind. I have 2 major projects, one of which is truly starting up this week. But, even the one that hasn't really started yet is behind in a sense. So, I've been putting in lots of extra hours. Also, with impending layoffs by the end of March at my company, I need to do everything possible to ensure that I can keep my job.

And, a third one is that I keep falling victim to comfort food for stress-relief. Now that I can start exercising a little again, though, perhaps this will be easier for me.

Today will be a decently active day. I have to go to PetSmart to buy food for my dogs. Also, I have to go to the grocery store to buy food for myself. So, that will be some walking around. I'll also get some other exercising in, too.

Exercise:
Stretching - comprehensive, also did splits
Treadmill: 2.5 miles, 28:45 (.5 mi warm-up, 1.5 mi running at 6mph, .5 mi cooldown)
