I'm a liiiiiittle but frustrated with my running right now... :grumble:
I pushed myself and did all 8 runs in Week 1 of c25k, but I HURT!! The arch of my left foot feels like it's ripping when I take a step, my knees almost feel like they're grinding behind my knee caps, my shins hurt but that happens every time, and my hips hurt. I might soak in the tub for a few minutes while my muscles cool down. I'm sure it's lack of vitamins, and not enough/not the right kind of stretching.
So irritating though!!
Okay I"m done whining. I'm proud of myself for pushing through though!! Off to do a few push-ups before I make dinner.
I have similar pain in my arch with the tendonitis! I guess the Achilles go from the arch on the bottoms up the back of the ankle/foot. Make sure you are doing a really good warm up and stretch. My doc said today to stretch the bottoms of your feet and calves throughout the day to keep them loose. He said rolling a tennis ball on your arch while you are sitting can really help and feel really good. Like a self deep tissue massage. He gave me a paper of stretches, I'm going to try and figure out how to get it to you.
Good luck Girl, take care!0 -
I crossed over the 30lb lost mark! Just hoping I can hold onto it now and get into the 160's!! I'm not weighin again until Monday. 0

Great job Rach on the Wi!!!
I peek at the scale this morning and I'm holding strong at 177.5! Glad because my weekend eating was not to be desired. Woke up nice and early this morning to get my workout in because I won't be able to do it tonight due to school. In fact I liked being able to work out early and not have the distractions of kids and husband I might make this a habit! LOL0 -
~Congrats Rach!!!!
~Today I didnt work out :frown: I did want to, but i am unbelievably sore!! I was sore after the 1st day, but not like this!! It hurts so bad to walk. And sitting and standing are sooo painful!! Not trying to be a wuss lol, but i really dont think i would have been able to complete an effective work out feeling like this. I miss when i worked out all the time & would only get slightly sore once and a while. I cant wait to get back to that. Cause this is the worst!0 -
Thanks for all the advice guys! I am definitely going to wait before I make any decisions. Its funny though, I was dreading the thought that they would get smaller (I am a D) but now that they are not, and I am noticing a difference in other areas they just seem out of proportion with the rest of my body. but who knows what will happen when I lose more weight!
Rach - Yipee!!!
Karin - that's too bad, but at least you can still work out in some form or another. I think I would go crazy if I couldn't do anything...
Karen - What a week you have been having. I am glad things seemed to have leveled. You'll get back on track! you have been so good providing encouragement to all of us - its glad to see things are getting better for you!!!!0 -
Seems like we're all getting hit with some challenges! I love the support we have in this group!!!

I know how you feel. I have lost 18 lbs, and although I am no where close to my goal.. i haven't weighed this little in years...
but i have totally stopped trying... and i have no motivation to continue... i haven't worked out all week, i am eating junk... i can't seem to get myself back on track... and I don't even know where to begin!0 -
Hey pin-ups,
It was my first day back at uni today which means less time at work, so less temptation food-wise but also less time on my feet and moving about. Hopefully it'll all balance out.
I'm having a really good week so far, managed to keep going with the 30 day shred every day, and also getting some walks in. I've also managed to stay within my calorie limit every day this week, so I should be on track to meet my goal weight on time (133lb by Halloween).
The only thing to possibly trip me up this week is a big night out on saturday. I'm not going to count my alcohol calories as I think that'd be taking this too far... I want to be able to relax and have a good night without stressing about going over. I'm just going to stick to low calorie drinks (malibu or vodka and diet coke) and hope that it doesn't trip me up this week.
Good luck with the rest of the week everyone! :bigsmile:0 -

Anywa I lack motivation to stay on track...I am eating dorritos, cookies, candy...I need a good slap to get back on track!0 -

I'm on this bandwagon right now too! I've been in training at work all week, so I've been eating all the cookies and candy and junk provided, as well as trying to drink more caffeine during the boring parts. And I haven't been able to run as much, with the changing weather: too cold in the mornings/evenings, and I've only got about an hour of daylight when I get home but I'm usually too hungry to run right away. I tried eating a handful of cereal and then running yesterday, but I ended up walking most of the way back because I was getting hunger cramps.
Okay pin-ups! Let's jump off this bandwagon and start running!! .....Or whatever other form of exercise you enjoy! 0 -
Yea, you all need to hop on MY bandwagon!!! Get that motivation back!! We all need to be sexiest, curviest pin-up girls ever!! :laugh:
When I hit my goal weight, I'm toooootally doing a pro pin-up girl photoshoot....with my car in it of course.

Oh wow! Now *that's* some good motivation! That will be so much fun :happy:
And I am certainly on the good bandwagon right now. I'm loving the logging and the running. I look forward to my cardio workouts! How crazy is that? I sure don't sound like myself lately. Which is a good thing. "Myself" was fat! lol.0 -
Thanks for the motivation Rach!! Its just what I needed!!0

I just got a good kick in the butt tonight...
I went to target to try on pants and see what size I'm in. Well I thought I'm a 14 so surely a 12 or 13 should fit now right? WRONG!
Turns out the pants I'm wearing right now are actually a 17!!! 17!?!?! Ugh.
I did NOT think I was that size.
Sizes must've change drastically since I was at 200lbs because I've never bought anything bigger than what I'm wearing right now. I was in 14's I believe. Though the stretch pants were all that was around then. Now it's back to just normal denim and 'skinny' jeans. I dunno but it crushed my spirits a bit. I thought I was further along than I actually am.0 -

I know how you feel... I went to Target not too long ago, POSITIVE that I was ready for a smaller size of jeans- and it made me so happy, because the scale wasn't being so nice- but nope... Not quite the same as your dilemma, but I understand the letdown. But don't worry! You'll get to those 14s!
Also, I'd like to join. Hi! My name is Abby! nice to meet you all (:0 -
Not sure how, but apparently eating more and working out less the past couple weeks is working for me... down to 124.8 yesterday.. thought it was a fluke so i got on the scale three different times and again this morning.. all said the same!! YAHOO!!!!0

Yay! Sometimes your body just needs a little recovery time and a little more energy. :flowerforyou:0 -
Hi lovely pins ups and happy Friday!
Hope you're all doing well and those lacking motivation are feeling better.
Rach have you tried looking in different shops. When I went shopping the other day I fit into clothes in 3 different sizes. It seems there is no continuity with sizes. Frustrating yes but look on the positive with how well you are doing with your running so just focus on that and the rest will follow.
So ladies I have my black tie ball tonight and am feeling really quite nervous. I'm wearing a dress out in public for the first time in forever and am going to see A LOT of people that I haven't seen since my weight loss. In fact describing my emotions as 'quite nervous' is a massive understatement. Haven't been able to concentrate in work all day. This is so not normally like me I've trained extra hard this week to try and tone up so my arms don't show me up. Well I guess I'll have to see how it all goes but may need to have a few glasses of wine to ease it!
Am out tomorrow as well and it has been TOM so have a feeling the scales are not going to be my friend on Monday :noway:
Hope you all have a great day! Nam x0 -
