Running

I ran on Thursday to my growing capacity and thought I would try to get a run in today (Friday). My muscles would not have it. While I did a lap and a half, doing any sort of second lap was not going to happen. But I was glad to get out and I am glad to not have shin splints any more. The stretches seems to be helping. I did get a walk in the last two nights with Jamie.
Lots of water!!

not much better

I'm not really feeling much better. I guess it depends on the time of day -what my answer might be. I woke up this morning feeling a bet better. But I have been "going" all morning, now my throat is KILLING me, I feel like I have sore in my mouth and I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap soon.
Thursday - I did very well with everything (I think) - I am contnuing to eat health choices and trying to drink instead of eat when I "feel" like eating but yet I'm not necessarily hungry. I have avoided bread and stayed within limitations. I have two pieces on Monday night, Two pieces (as a sandwich) for lunch on Wednesday and then two pieces for my hamburger on Thursday. So I must be done with it for the week. that will be hard!

Keep me updated!

Updates

So I've been feeling pretty poopy (sick) - that is why I haven't been on. I have been going to bed early (9/9:30/10:00) and haven't been making it to boot camp. I usually at lesat make it to boot camp - but I just doing feel well enough. We have been outside a lot - so that helps!

1. Exercise at least five days (I figure I can do this easily since the weather is going to be nice)
Monday - walked / Krista and went for a bike ride
Tuesday - worked in the yard with Tyler in the urgo baby - it was fun
Wenesday - went for a very short walk with Tyler on my back

2. eat in a controlled manner - limit bread intake to three times - no more than two slices.
Monday - good
Tuesday - good
Wednesday - good

3. Drink 64 oz of water
Monday - good
Tuesday - good
Wednesday - good

I am going to work towards getting back to that high intensity working out once I start feeling better.

UGH

Please go to the edit section and read tonight's post. UGH!!

Tuesday

I don't know how it happened but I was so tired when I got home tonight I just couldn't do anything. My original plan was to take my longest mapped out walk-3.5 miles. Remember the time I called you b/c I was lost on my walk? That's the route I was going to go. My last attempt at some sort of weight loss since I didn't eat so well over the weekend. I couldn't do it. My feet were really sore today and the thought of more walking was just too much.



I decided to really limit my points today as a compromise.



Water: 64 oz.

Food: 22 of 28 points

Exercise: none



I do NOT want to weigh in tomorrow but I know that next week is going to have a whole new set of challenges.

Keeping it going

Weighed in this morning at 133. That's good considering I should be adding muscle with running. I have developed a terrible case of shin splints, so besides aspirin and ice, I am cutting back to two days a week. That is what I was running before the injury. I found some great shin muscle stretches and ice is my friend!!
Trying to watch portions, but I need to watch and make sure I am drinking enough.
