^ouch. Heal up quick.
I have put on 7lbs this week down to the bloody painkillers I have been prescribed. Nothing in the leaflet about weight gain, but everything on google says 'rapid weight gain'. Plus Ive been injected with some sort of Steroids for the past four years. ( I've got one more steroid injection next week and that should be me last.) On top of the weight I still haven't lost from the beta blockers I was on quite a while back, I am now an extra cuddly Shoosh. (Or more of a Shooshana than a Shoosh).
I'm back on my exercise regime tomorrow regardless of pain. Aim is to keep the calorie intake at 1500-1800 per day (and 30g-50g fat) and the exercise output 1000 calories plus. (Cycling, gym, walking, aqua aerobics, Pilates). Tough, but I've got to do something before it gets any worse. I will have 5-7 days to recover from my injection then will add in Bikram yoga to my schedule for a month. My aim is to shift 10lbs in 5 weeks.
