Blogs > Lighten Up with Barb 2011

52-year-old Barb Henderson, the winner of Lighten Up in 2010, is back for a second round determined to finish what she started last year. The Painesville resident will continue to use the eating program she followed last year, but has joined Fitworks to get active this year.

Monday May 9

You would think that blogging a little bit each week (actually twice per week is the requirement this year) would be fairly easy but you would be wrong.  And some days may drag during the week, but yet the week seems to just fly by --

The exercise is picking up but still having trouble with being consistent with the diet.  I do just fine all day with healthy eating, but undo it all at night! (and I know better!).  I can start out the day great and full of resolve, but by the evening, all that resolve has just fiddlefarted away.  UP, down, UP, down, UP, down, down, down!! 

A visit to the doctor for the four week check of the knee has allowed me to go back to my other job for one night per week - no stocking or lifting/carrying yet, but it does help to get back into a familiar routine. He also said it was okay to be done with physical therapy -- so I signed up for the six week exercise classes at Slim & Fit to hopefully get me more motivated to get in the exercise groove.  The knee is still physically limiting and lets me know when it's had enough but it's also frustrating to have that fear in the back of the mind about hurting it again because then you hold back and don't work as hard as you're capable of working. 

On the positive side, I haven't been late to play for church services since Easter!
Enjoy the sun and the smell of freshly mowed grass--
Barb
