Happy Healthy Monday
Well I know I am a bit late in the post. Holidays always throw me off a day. Well I have somehow managed to hurt my good leg/knee so I have been hobbling around all weekend. Icing the knee seems to have helped but no idea what I
did. It started Thursday and I am sure standing at a concert all night Friday didn’t help. Although Adam Lambert was so worth it. I didn’t know what to expect but he puts on a great show. Would go see him again.
So I am once again regrouping. I feel like such a broken record. I truly believe that if I lose some of this weight my legs would not hurt so much. Why this hasn’t motivated me to do this I haven’t a clue. I honestly feel like a big fat ball of lard sitting on the couch. Ugh… So regrouping and trying to figure out what I can do to keep me going and not give up every 2-3 weeks. I mean really. Ugh.
Hope you all have a great week.

Looks yummy! Thanks for posting.
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time of it. Losing weight can be frustrating when it doesn’t happen “right away”. One of the things that helps me is to track my measurements because I lose inches faster than weight. BUT, I didn’t know that until I started keeping track.
So for example, the first week I started on my protein shakes I lost 6 inches and 1 pound. Now, when I thought about how much I didn’t eat, and all the sacrifices, that 1 pound seemed like a slap on the face. But then I took my measurements and saw a drastic change and that motivated me to go on. Just a thought!
Hope you find your “gruve” this week! 🙂

Keep icing that knee and elevate it. Hopefully the pain will go down in the next days. Change needs to happen slowly with small steps and small goals. Maybe start by increasing your water intake everyday (a good goal to start with if you’re having knee/leg problems). Then take out a food or foods that are bad for you, then add in walking daily etc. Develop one habit at a time and tell yourself daily that you are committed and you are going to achieve your goals but it will take time and perseverance. You can do it Karla 🙂
You can do it! I’m so sorry to hear that you are feeling in the dumps, but I can totally relate to that ball of lard feeling. 🙁 You can totally do this, a step at a time. Steph’s advice above is awesome! I’m constantly regrouping, I just do it on Twitter so I don’t have to post about it on Mondays! LOL
Seriously, though, I love your recipes, you are such an inspiration! I hope you start feeling better soon, and I can’t wait until you are back up to full speed so we can kick butts together! 🙂
you are not a failure you just had a bad week thats all and i dont want to hear you getting down on yourself you can do it and keep going. hugs and get better soon
Thanks for this awesome recipe Karla! It looks amazing! I can’t wait to give it a try!
Take care of yourself, girl! Rest up if your body is telling you too. Miss you!
Karla, hang in there and stay positive. This meal looks really good. My son would like it so I’ll forward it onto my wife. Just remember take it one day at a time. Even one hour at a time if you have to.
All my best,
Mike
