I kept thinking that I should be doing some activity, or use the Shake Weight, even though my body wasn't into it.
Another thing is, that I think I may have started using the Shake Weight too soon. Although I've been careful not to do the over and behind the head exercises-for fear of aggravating my back, I have noticed my sciatica getting worse:( I think it could be the shaking of the weight.
Another thing I've noticed is that I don't ever feel sore, even on the first few days with the Shake Weight, which makes me wonder if I'm wasting my time?
So, I've made the decision of switching from the Shake Weight to regular light weights for now.
I researched whether it's safe to workout with weights everyday, and the consensus seem to be, that it's okay if they are light weights and it's a good idea to mix the exercises around, use a different group of muscles, so I plan to do them Monday through Friday. Short workouts to start, 10-15 min.
I still plan to post before and after pictures of my arms when I see some progress:)
Other than that, I did get some rest, but I'm looking forward to doing some activity tomorrow.
Total for the day, 1,247 calories. Wow! Seven weeks down! Woo-Hoo!
