I guess my permanent brows and eyeliner gave me the look of “too put together”. I must say it was a nice feeling. Then I got the nurse again when she told me I had to remove my toe nail polish. Once again I shook my head and informed her that my polish was on for the summer because it had been baked on! Its a new product that we just brought in and I love it. No chips or dents after a pedicure now. I had the nicest toes in the recovery room!

It’s given me time to really evaluate our whole exercise and nutrition program.

Rather than being bummed by my lack of mobility, I am taking this opportunity to read, study, and evaluate all the components of our business. I’m thankful that I spent the last 8 months building muscle and getting in shape because I think it’s going to speed my recovery. I am however having a hard time sitting still with my leg up so I  tend to swell a bit. Larry is doing a great job playing nurse and getting me to behave.

Some things I’ve decided:

1. The Body Rx Nutrition Plan is phenominal.  I now have the time to work on the website and develop the recipe pages and on-line support system.

2. We all need back up plans when exercise is not possible. Consuming high quality calories and sticking to eating 5-6 small meals a day is so important.

3. Planning your meals and snacks in advance will help to prevent over-eating.

4. Include a bit of protein at every meal to keep you satisfied for longer.

5. Read inspiring books and magazines. Some of my favourites are: Clean Eating, Oxygen magazine, Fitness Rx magazine, anything from the Biggest Loser series. This week I just read BelieveIt, Be It by Ali Vincent (the first female winner of the Biggest Loser). She tells a great story and adds some insight on the emotional issues behind over-eating…something I think most of us can relate to.

All for now,

Becky
