I’ve gotta get this knee fixed. It’s my main priority for the year, because that will make my quality of life so much better as well as afford me more movement opportunities to lose even more weight. It’s the age old “get a job, but to get a job, you need experience, to get experience, you need a job” dilemma. Move more, exercise more, but to do that I need to not hobble… to get my knee fixed, I need to lose weight. To lose weight, I need to exercise more. I’m doing what I can with a recumbent bike, swimming (when weather affords) and dumbells at my desk when work is slow.

Yesterday I decided to put a little bit of mild fasting into my schedule, only eating when my lunch break hit at around 11am. I then made a huge salad and ate that, and a little later had some fruit – grapes and cherry plums. A little later I had some garden crackers and was good until dinner, where I made a balanced dinner and then had a little more fruit/veggies and hummus as a snack while I raided. All in all I had a great food day, so I think I’m going to continue the trend of fasting until lunchtime and seeing if that helps me keep my caloric intake to a minimum.

I am drinking plenty in the morning. Water, an alani, a coffee or two or ten (just kidding but some mornings I need it!) and my medicine and vitamins/supplements until 11am. I’m using the dumbells until my arms are sore so we’re going to keep these good vibes going. Meal plan is almost done for the coming week, thanks to Pinterest. Just need one more meal to make it complete!
