You know, it's funny how things work out. A lot of folks have asked me about the weight loss and I tell them basically about eating less and upping the exercise. I never know who is really listening and is serious about trying it. This morning one of my friends told me she'd lost 9 pounds in the past two months doing just that...nothing fancy, not a lot of rules, but spiced up with discipline. (If someone asks me about how I did it who has a lot of weight to lose, I do tell them about the accompanying therapy including the hypnosis that I relied on to help me succeed in making the mental changes that I needed to make.)
After this recent "travel weight gain", I'm taking some of my own medicine - eating less and upping the exercise.
So out to the pool for my water workout. I already walked about 3 miles today so all is well. Have a great weekend.

168.4 Backing Off, Starting Over
This is turning into a blog about popcorn and leg cramps! Nothing about popcorn today, but I did see my PT today and she did have some thoughts about the leg cramp connection to water therapy. Why yes, they are connected, obviously, and for the time being she wants me to back off and start over with maybe 10 reps with each leg for each exercise. But I was so proud of doing 3 to 4 minutes (one song from Mamma Mia) for each exercise, and jogging in place in the water for up to ten minutes. No jogging at all for now is the way it stands. Yes, I'm a little disheartened, but I need to do what the doctor ordered so will follow her dictate. (Yes, she has earned her doctorate in PT.)
And without the flurry of so much exercise, my weight is staying pretty steady! Last night we went to Picasso's Pizza, a small Arizona chain that serves pizza made with organic, very healthy ingredients if you choose that route. The very thin, very delicious pizza crust that I had last night was made with quinoa, amaranth, wheat germ bulgur wheat, flax seed meal, psyllium husks, rolled oats, fennel seed, ginger powder, seaweed kelp and sea salt. No wonder I didn't gain any weight, and the spinach and mushroom topping with red sauce was delicious. Even doubting Jeff liked it!
