Time For Sunday Weigh In Turn Around

Well it was no surprise that the scale was still stuck today. Just the other day it was holding in place and there had been no big changes in anything to prompt it to give by this morning. Sighed and went on. Tomorrow I am going to try and go back to the gym work out, see if the foot cooperates with it. If it is only minorly bugged I am going to try and keep working through it. Decided on it this morning. Noticed fingers and feet having minor aches in the morning again and just never really feeling as good as before. The weight is still up but the waist is the same. Noticed the upper arms and thighs are where clothing snugginess is hitting, arrggghhh. The body just seems to need the vigorous cardio.
Was watching a program on our public television channel about Change Your Brain Change Your Life (Doctor D. Amen) and one of the points that KEPT coming up was physical exercise... for the brain (circulation and chemical benefits). They did not suggest vigorous exercise but in my case that does seem to be the case. Life before all these changes was physical and various dieting trials, but still health problems and major weight gain. It has been the very regular vigorous cardio and strength training addition that brought about excellent BP, cholesterol numbers and over all end of aches and pains. Just have to get back to it.
Going to try and get those numbers dropping again by next Sunday.

On a different note, I had told my son he would not be talked about but going to break that this time. He had his garage bands performance today (he was lead singer for two different ones, a beginners and an intermediate one). I was so nervous for him (with all the possible things going on for him). Tried very hard to hide it though. He did great, I am so proud of him! There was a great turn out for it. It was the first time he has performed solo singing. He is usually in a group. It was a big step for him and hopefully he keeps climbing. Loved hearing his voice (he hardly ever sings for me, though he did for a Mother's Day present and it was beautiful)!
