So I bought some more of the resistance bands, the ones with the handles. The ones that kind of look like jump ropes. I've really enjoyed using these for my strength exercises for my arms. It feels like a better workout than dumb bells. I can really feel the muscles working as I do each movement. With the dumb bells, sometimes I'd have pains in my shoulders and it didn't feel like it worked the muscle groups as well as I had hoped. So I'm much happier with the resistance bands. Maybe once I get to a certain level of fitness, I'll need to switch to dumb bells, but for now, these bands are working great for me.
I'm walking a lot more and enjoying it. I've seen people out running and instead of feeling bad that I'm not doing that, I'm feeling optimistic that I'll be doing that soon. I definitely feel more positive about my athletic future instead of pitying myself for not doing more. I can't wait to get out and run again. I forgot how much I love running.
Eating is going ok. I keep craving unhealthy options and it's been a struggle to ignore those cravings. I'm not very creative coming up with alternative, healthy choices so I need to search out some ideas online. I'm sure others have come up with better options to a lot of the usual snacks, desserts and other treats, now I just need to go find them. :)
