Day 66

Or...  Why getting healthy is killing me....


1. Exercise Induced Asthma
2. Tonsil Stones
3. Road rash from nose dives on the racquetball court.
4. Getting hit in the face by racquetballs.
5. Racquetballs knocking my glasses off my face.
6. Smashing my finger between a 25 pound weight and the rack.
7. Waking up the next morning to find out that I can't bend said finger and that it is twice it's normal size.
8. Doing SOMETHING UNKNOWN to my right knee that causes it to hurt beneath my knee cap every time I straighten it.
9. Going to bed thinking the pain will be gone in the morning only to find out that it WAS NOT.
10. Answering the question "what did you do to your finger?" 10 MILLION times today because I see 500 students a day.

I SERIOUSLY NEED A BUBBLE.

Day 52

Today has been a pretty good day.  My plan for dinner worked out well and it turns out everyone was jealous of my food!  I had one of my co-workers comment "you're eating that and you're still losing weight?"  But what they don't understand is that I work really hard to balance out my calorie intake and dinner is always my biggest meal of the day!  I had a full plate, but 2/3 of it was green!

Tonight, after conferences, I started going through some of my tops and weeding out the ones that are just too big and the ones I want to donate to goodwill.  I did that until we went to meet *J* to run.

Hubs has been having a hard time with his foot (I think he's got plantar fascia...) so he went back to week 5 tonight but he did the whole run!  *J* and I went on to week 7 day one.  Here's the run down!

5 minute warm-up

20 minute run

3 minute walk

5 minute run

5 minute cool down

Tonight's 20 minutes was NOT easy!  Normally my legs kinda go "numb" after about 3 minutes.  By numb I mean the muscles relax and aren't fighting the workout anymore, I don't actually lose feeling, don't worry.  Tonight they just wouldn't relax.  I had to fight the feeling that I needed to stop, especially in the last 5 minutes, and just keep running.  The second 5 minute run was worse.  Honestly I'd have been better off just running 25 minutes straight!  But we did it and our next run is 26 minutes!  Oh!  And I ran 1.86 miles tonight.  In total I went 2.61 miles.  I'm hoping the extra minute will get me up to 2 miles, and if it doesn't I'll be really damned close!

Day 51

I FINALLY GOT THAT STUPID BADGE!!!!!!!!!  I finally made to 10/14 greens 7 days in a row!  I got the badge, I got the badge, I got the badge!!

Hehem....

On another note, it was a good day.  I did well with my food and spent about an hour and 15 min on the racquetball court after climbing the rock wall (or attempting really) 3 times.

Tomorrow we have parent teacher conferences and a staff meeting so I'll be at school from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm.  Issa gonna be a long day.  I'm taking leftovers from last night to eat for dinner even though they are bringing in tortilla soup.  I'm just not a Mexican food fan.  Specifically I don't like chilli powder, which is a Mexican staple.  I'm trying to come up with veggies to take with me but we didn't have any left over tonight.  We do have raw carrots but that's really about it.  I might have to take Wednesday night's veggies and just go buy more.  Oh, the first world problems we have to deal with...  Lol, sheesh.
