Since I have started my recent weight loss focus (June 1), I have lost 5.5 pounds. So far, it has been about controlling my eating habits; smaller portions, more frequent eating/grazing, staying away from high glycemic foods, not drinking calories, and consuming more water. I need to begin to add back in my activity plan, including exercise.
For the last two weeks, I have been able to be fulltime dad. So I have been active, but I have not exercised. I really want/need to enhance my weight management with exercise. Unfortunately, I cannot do my favorite activity, walking. I have a gimpy knee and it is really uncomfortable right now to walk. I race or speed walk. I am not the fastest, but I have done a half-marathon averaging 12:45 per mile.
Since walking is not an option, I will need to find something else to do. I will be looking for places to swim and bike for the forseeable future. I hope that works and my knee gets better. Regardless, when one modality of exercise is lost as a choice, we all need to continue to find away to stay active.
