[Kätzchen]

I’ve struggled this past year with weight gain when I literally limit what I eat and stick to a vegetarian type diet. What I discovered is that my exercise routine was causing me to gain weight because my muscle mass was increasing due to my exercise routine. Walking tons of steps doesn’t really help me because my right hip and pelvis area is consistently out of alignment and my knees being ‘bone on bone’ doesn’t help with my gait challenges.

So my weight trainer / exercise coach at my local gym is having me try out a yoga routine, and implementing the yoga routine with my water aerobics class.

It’s been so incredibly hot here (we have massive fires all over our state) so I’ve been upping my water intake and journaling my food intake (limits and time periods etc) for my coach and doctor.

Maybe by next spring I will have developed new habits that will keep me lean and strong and finally master my yo-yo weight issues.

Be safe and keep fighting the good fight,
