4/11/18: Nutrition & Metabolism

I know. Me, too. Hard to keep your metabolism high & burnin’ when you can’t lift heavy weights or run intervals. I love what the folks at Precision Nutrition do for education & coaching, especially their infographics that pack solutions into one-page visuals. Their portion guide won’t solve all our issues around cravings and emotional eating, but see if their guidelines here can get you back on a better eating track.

4/8/18: 4 Months P.O.

I saw Dr. Price on 4/4 for my 4 month PO check-up. “I know you’re worried you’re not where you should be in the rehab protocol,” he said, “Especially comparing yourself to others on the Facebook page. But know that you’re doing great. You’re right where I want you to be.” Felt really good to hear that. Also got a new Rx for PT for my shoulder issue, and Price cleared me to go back to training clients at the gym. My first day will be Friday the 13th.

So with some renewed energy & positivity, I went to the high school track this morning to build some walking endurance. My PT exercises are progressing well, but I still get exhausted and achy after walking only a little. 2 laps took me 15 minutes. That’s 1/2 mile in a quarter of an hour, or a 30-minute mile. Oy vey. Baby steps. I’ll go back every day and try to walk a tiny bit further. I got this.
