Yesterday, I did indulge in more food than usual to make sure I had plenty of carbs & proteins for a hike today, Monday. Unfortunately, storms blew in and we were unable to hike this evening but hopefully, we will get one in later in the week.
Monday - Stretching calves, legs; 4.5 mile hike JMF Silstone clockwise around Purple Trail, Silstone back to Welcome Center. Less than 2 hrs considered Level 2 in new Trails for Health group that I am apart of. TS helped keep me at a slow pace up hills and faster pace on flat sections. Afterwards though, I was fatigued and struggling. I definitely had to get home and get some food in the body.
Tuesday - Stretching calves, legs; PT session...8 mins on the bike, squats against bench and using trackx, lunges, stretches, one leg balancing and leg movements, and leg press.
Wednesday - Stretching and arms.
Thursday - PT at home exercises and stretches.
Friday - PT session...8 mins on the bike, lunges, squats w/trackx, one leg
balancing & leg movements, one leg standing w/one leg on the bench
squat, straight leg bend at the hips. I am sure there was more because
my legs were screaming at me Saturday.
Saturday - Extra sleep, stretches twice and half at home PT exercises. My glutes and hips were screaming.
Sunday - A couple hours of standing around hoping for the rain storms to pass but they did not. Lots of driving and a nap.

Año Uno: Towards Healthy Living
Año Uno: Monday, July 6, 2015 -- 213.2 lbs (-13.6 lbs)
Año Cero: Monday, July 7, 2014 -- 226.8 lbs
Wow, it has been a full year since I started this latest journey. Thanks for journeying with me this past year! May we have another great year to continue encouraging one another.
It has had its ups and downs, and though I have lost weight since the start, I am not at my lowest weight for the year. In a quick glance, I hit mid-209 on a couple occasions but then proceeded to increase a bit. Hopefully, I am back on track and will be able to continue this loss. A similar loss this coming year means hitting 200 lbs that would definitely be a great start. It would be great in a year from now to be under 200.
Monday - MV had me do a variety of exercises working my hips. My hips and rear are feeling the workout for sure. Stretching of the foot, calves, and regular stretching.
Tuesday - Stretching followed by PT. 8 mins on the bike, not sure the distance. Then work on my abductor, muscles in my rear end, and the hamstrings. Stretches of the hamstring, abductor, and calves. New at home assignments included these stretches.
Wednesday - Workout at work...12 min bike at various levels but had to do lower level workout due to pain in the inside left of the knee. Followed by arm workout and stretching focused on my PT stretches.
Thursday - PT 8 min on the stepper instead of the bike due to the pain. Put a bandage on the interior knee to see if it would elevate the pain. Tried the bike and didn't seem to have pain so we left the bandage on. Other exercises included squats with the ropes, one leg squat, straight leg ball hip raises. stretching of the abductor and hamstring. Those were the key items.
Friday - Holiday from work. PT leg stretches and exercises and some of the foot exercises from last PT.
Saturday - JMF Silstone/Purple Trail Counter Clockwise...bad leader (me) made a slight detour at the beginning missing a slight uphill and some downhills plus about .2 miles. We completed the trail though in about 2 hrs. I was definitely tired at the end and did not feel like I could go more.
Sunday - A true day of rest. I felt it was best not to do anything this day due to the previous workouts and looking to hike again on Monday.
