FAT during recovery. I weigh 135 right now and that may only be a 4 pound gain, but I know some of that is having lost muscle to fat.
I am about to go to the next level in my physical therapy (strength training), but I am really anxious to get moving. I did ride my bike twice this week and I began hula hooping again.
While I am trying to maintain the correct calorie count (Re: Kara), I am keeping the bread intake to 4X a week. (That bread machine bread is too good!) Water intake is high--8 glasses a day. Too much of that Valentine's chocolate is still around, though.
I think I should probably log all my eating because it is too easy to let things slide. I won't be counting points per se, but just the recording of my intake causes me to be more conscious of what I am eating.

Update on Goals
My clothes fit for the most part - my jeans fit ok but I like them a little loose, my small waisted black pants are tight on me. I feel like I don't have a lot of fat on me - I feel solid. I feel kind of skinny, but there are a few things I would like to get under control! I am going to see how things pan out over the next month or so and I am going to keep trying with this high level of exercise.

therapist's orders
So, I went to a therapist/clinic today to get some help getting active again. Of course, the therapist (like my physical trainer Kara) says I am not ready for heavy exercise. She says I am still healing, then I will rehab, then strength train--and only then can I get back to running...
My weight is staying at 131 or 132...but I really have to watch those cookies I made. No more of that!! Keeping my water intake up is my main goal. Not counting points right now. I continue to walk lightly almost every day.
I get my therapeutic exercise routine in the morning--stretches. I am slightly sore from her manipulations today, but feeling taller and stronger.
I do want to keep my calories up so as to avoid fatigue and to be able to do the exercises fully, but really have to watch the carbs since I am non aerobic.

Weighing myself
Ok so! I weighed myself this morning - after I worked out and after I got to work. I has already had some water and some coffee. I was feeling excited about my weigh in because I fee like I did well this past week and that I and kicking butt w/ exercise. So - I gained one lbs. I am not pleased!!!!! I don't know why I can't seem to stay more consistant. I probably have to start counting points again - but I don't know if I have the self control for that right now.
I am going to try to start weighing myself at the gym at 5:45 in the mornings. This will be before I work out AND have anything to drink. I will also be less dressed for that. Am I just tryin gto do tricks to feel like I'm being successful? Should I just start counting points again? I don't know if I have the energy for counting points. I'm just not happy.
130 lbs. - 7 lbs up from my lowest (I weighed in at 123 at one point) and 5 lbs up from my goal. I don't eat out, I don't eat chips, I don't eat sweets, I don't eat after 8:00 pm (except for one time) and I worked out 4 times this past week for 1 hour each time.
Goals for next week:
Eating: Count points - stay withing 20 to 25 points - using flex and exercise points as needed. I'm going to try!!
Exercise: Work out at least 4 times. Bootcamp 2-3 times and run at the gym at least once.
Water: Drink at least 64 oz a day and keep track!
