Well, my last run was Monday and I don't plan on running again until Sunday. My left calf muscle has been sore. I felt it in my last run, and since then I feel it every day just walking. My chiropractor worked some magic on it and taped it up for me. It has gotten better. What stinks for me, I don't do a desk job, so I'm on my feet and walking around a lot...needless to say, my muscle has really only gotten rest at night when I get home from work.
Sunday will be my first 30 minute run, which concerns me a little, because I haven't run all week, but I'm sure it will be fine.
This week has been very encouraging. Last week I tightened my belt a notch. This week, I tightened my belt another notch and I'm even wearing a belt with my jeans (which I didn't have to do at all, previously). This is very encouraging. I can't wait to weigh in in Monday this week.
On Sunday I also start tracking my foods in more detail to help my aunt (my mother's sister) out. She went back to school to become a dietician and she needed a case study. Having high cholesterol, I offered to help in anyway I could. There are many dietary issues on my mother's side of the family (as well as my father's - hence the high cholesterol) - including diabetes & Crohn's disease, so she had many choices of family members for her case study. I'm just glad to help and can't wait for her evaluation.
So proud of you! Don't get discouraged if the weight doesn't go down a ton...just keep focused on the fact that the clothes are getting looser. :) Writing down what you eat is probably going to make a huge difference, too. I go through times where I don't do a good job of journaling my food and think I'm eating pretty well. Then, when I go to start journaling it again, I realize how much extra I had been eating. Writing it down is good accountability (and especially if someone else is seeing it...haha!). Great job, my friend! :)
