Motivation Monday

My Week
My Dr. put an end to my Walk to Run program... however, I will just be replacing "run" with "walk as fast as I can". She said as long as I keep it low impact, ie walking or elliptical, it is safe for me to do. She is concerned about my joints, especially my knees. She said if I don't need to run, I shouldn't. Since I am not a soldier... then I don't need to. I did go swimming on Saturday though. It was blistering hot and I was fairly disgusted with my weigh in. I felt better afterward. I am a little sore today, but swimming doesn't usually leave me too sore anyways so that is good. This week I plan on walking everyday. I am also hoping my workout DVDs arrive soon so I can get started on them.My Progress
I am pretty depressed about my numbers. They are all in the red this week. I have gained 5lbs since my surgery. Like I said, I knew I'd gain... but I didn't think it would be 5lbs. Oi! It's alright though... I swam for 30 mins, walked for 15 mins, then walked for another 30mins today and of course I've been carrying my 21lb Little Bit around everywhere this week. I am hoping to see a change for the better. I can't lie... I have been weighing myself daily (several times a day) since Saturday. *very sad face* I have evened out at about 216 today so that is good... but still several pounds over my lowest so far. I'll get there. I know I will. You know... I was just entering my numbers and really... they are only in the red by less than 1 (lb, %). That isn't really that bad I guess.
In case you haven't heard yet, as soon as I get under 200 lbs I'll be throwing a party in celebration! I'm even rounding up some giveaways to make a huge bash out of it. Here is the button in case you want to help spread the word. You can see the whole post here.
