I'm Back

Monday was a good day. My knee is feeling better. I still can't put any weight on it such as kneeling to say prayers or to pull weeds from my yard but it is not having a constant pain. I was able to speed walk Monday for about 1/2 mile. I know it isn't much but it is a start. I will be content with starting there. On the eating part I did good. Not completely clean but much better than I have for the past few weeks.
Today I plan on doing more walking. Hubby is home so I might get him to go with me.

Great Blog

I know I have been out of the loop for a long while. I can't seem to shake the sicknesses or injuries. I keep praying that my knee will totally recover and then I start doing a little more and it gets hurt again. So enough for my pitty party I am done with that!
I wanted to let you know about a great blog I found called Low-Fat Life . The lady that is the host of the blog is named Carolyn. She is a beauty and has some wonderful recipes that are LOW FAT!! Loving it!~ I am always looking for good recipes. So go check her out and tell her I sent you by.
I will be back in the exercising circuit soon. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

It Has Been A While

I haven't been working out due to my knee injury, then I got sick then on Monday I woke up feeling a little bit better I had planned on walking on the treadmill for my workout. I get out of bed and it felt like underneath my toes on my left foot was cut open. I tried to walk and it hurt so bad. As the minutes went on my foot swelled and hurt. Tuesday it was a little better but still hurt. Today Wednesday it was doing better, less swelling but my foot is not back to normal. I am thinking that my body is playing a nasty joke on me. I am looking forward to working out and feeling the wonderful high from it. So I will keep you up to speed of my crazy body. Praying nightly that I recover and am back to normal quickly. Hope you all are doing good. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Checking In After 7 Days-Day 55

I thought it was time I checked in. It has been 7 days since my last post. I have been on inner and outer ear infection antibiotics and today for the first time I can hear again out of my right ear and I feel a little better. I am still very tired but will be back on my feet in no time. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

I'v Fallen And I Can't Get Up

I have fallen off the take care of myself fitness wagon. I have hit a state of depression. Feeling sick, hurting knees and just feeling sorry for myself. I am really trying to pull myself out of this slump any suggestions? I hate this feeling of just wanting to eat my way through this depression. Life is so stressful right now and I know this is a large part of the feelings I am having.


I had last blogged on Friday it was Day 48. Now it is day 52. I am not eating as clean as I know I need to or exercising as much as I truly need to. I am feeling it in my body and my spirit is suffering.
Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Daily Progress Day- 45-48

I have been missing in blog land lately. I have been feeling a little down. Between still feeling under the weather with infections and re injuring my left knee I have been having a week of pity parties for myself.
So I am starting off new tomorrow. Why not today because I know the way my mind works and this will work for me and my quirky ways. My eating has been horrible and you can tell by the way my skin is dry and not a good color. I know the biggest part is not being able to workout like I want to makes me become an emotional eater. Along with the major PMS and stress from life I have not handled things well. So today I make my plan and stick to it.
I decided not to do a weigh in due to if I had gained a lot it probably would have sent me over the edge, I am just in that state of mind lately.
Has anyone else hit a wall like this? How did you handle it? I am trying not to beat myself up and keep a positive outlook on things. I have done good so far and I know what I need to do. I will take suggestions if you all want to share.
Check in tomorrow. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Answer to Risa

The reason I am feeling that I am not eating enough is the cravings that I am having and getting beyond the point of being hungry to were my stomach is getting cramps from waiting too long to eat or not eating enough proteins.
I do eat the foods from my other blog. I am learning the key is portion control, less salt and fat in these foods that I make. They are still good but healthier for me and my family.
I was going to do the calorie intake count, but I get a little freaky and go way over board. I am going to keep doing what I am doing and as soon as my knee can handle it I will up the exercise more and add some different routines to my workouts.
I messed up the knee I fell on the other week again doing yard work yesterday. ARG! I can't wait till it is all better this is really getting old.
Hope you all have a great day! Hugs, Bobbi Jo
