Wednesday Weigh In (8)... I give up!

I give up!

On walking as my exercise goal that is. I enjoy walking but it leaves me in soooo much pain. It has for years. I've tried many types of shoes and arches, absolutely nothing helps. Between the foot pain, a ganglion cyst that has decided to begin reappearing and sciatic pain I am calling it quits.

And I'm very frustrated.

So, it's time to make a new goal, one that does not leave me disappointed in myself every single week. I don't like to complain so I try to tough it out but I'm absolutely miserable. This much pain cannot be ok. (I've had an x-ray in the past, possibly had stress fracture at some time and a bone island that is not supposedly not painful). So rant over and new goal being formulated. I see some type of weight training and stretching or yoga in my future. I actually LOVE lifting weights and would much rather do that anyway. Maybe I can actually rejoin a gym in the future :)

So here's a rundown of my week:

I only walked one time. I ate fast food 3 times AND had birthday cake with ice cream! It was all worth it, maybe not in taste but in occasions, but I'll admit I was a little concerned about weighing in.  I did manage to stay within my calorie goal all week though so not a total loss. I looked at the week as preparation for back to school and becoming a soccer mom again.

So time for the weigh in... I was pretty much shocked! Two more pounds gone! This brings my total to 19 pounds since June 1. Maybe not walking is the key  ;)

Hopefully by next week I will have formulated a new workout plan. 

Any advice or suggestions about workouts are always appreciated!
