    I got my 150 minutes in! I introduced a little bit of interval running this week, too, and surprised myself with how well I did and how much I enjoyed it! Feeling good about everything, to be honest. Proud of all y'all! =)

    I got in 9 miles of (some)running/(mostly)walking this morning. It was hot, humid, and windy. And I did terrible. Blah!

    Think I'll go shopping. Maybe that'll cheer me up. I don't normally like clothes shopping, but I received my JCP online order yesterday and all the medium size shirts and shorts are too big, so I need to return/exchange them. Yay!

    Oops, overslept this morning. I guess I'll have to do a little dancing to get my steps in later :smiley:

    5/26-walked my head off loading the camper. And rode with the kiddos on bikes.
    5/27- youngest came down with a bug, so I drug him around all day on the tandem bike (which is me hauling 100 extra pounds behind me as his pedaling doesn't do much.)
    5/28- more of yesterday
    5/29- Not much. I think I was fighting his cold. I took a nap when we got home. And went to bed early.

    I need to strength train today. Still feeling puny. Still no cold symptoms which is good. I do want to go back to bed though.

    Is it June yet? Ugh...I don't mean to be a debbie downer, but I have been so wishy washy lately with my eating/exercise. I do great during the week, and then make excuses for myself on the weekends. I lose weight and then gain it due to poor choices. Top it off, I got my IUD swapped out on Friday and I have felt bloated, crampy, and icky all weekend.

    I HAVE to get my head in the game. I'm gonna try journaling again to help get a proper mindset. I've made great progress from when I started in February...I refuse to see it go down the drain now.

    I did my Level One 30 Day Shred 11 times in May or about 3x a week which was my goal. Yay! I started out using 2 lb weights and will work my way up through 3 lb weights and finally get back to the 5 lb weights I was using last time I was up to speed. I figure I can add the weight gradually as I get back in shape because I intend to keep this up for the long haul.

    It is the last day of my Mini-Goals May challenge!
    I've logged on daily, tracking all my foods/water
    No dairy, wheat/grains, sugar, alcohol
    No 'cheats' whatsoever- which is amazing considering all the 'FOOD PARTIES' I've been around...lol

    I haven't been able to exercise much due to trying to heal- what I believe to be- plantar fasciitis. I had no idea what the heck was wrong with my right heel, until I did some research online. As usual, I discovered new information. Thankfully, after several months of pain my heel is healing (because I finally figured out I need to let it rest....not keep jumping on the treadmill). :smiley:

    @CrispyStars3 I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and heel spurs in February & had to stop my daily walks. I asked what I could do instead. The doc approved cycling, as it doesn't put stress on the heel or the plantar fascia since you usually pedal with the ball of the foot. So I switched to indoor cycling in February, and now that the weather is better I ride outdoors when I can, indoors when it's more convenient.

    Thank you for the info! Cycling would be perfect but, alas, no wheels available to pedal.
    Luckily, my foot is on the mend. I'll start out with exercise videos, see how things go.
