Laura - That is frustrating to have pain and not know where it's coming from! I hope you figure it out! Unfortunately, I have no idea what would cause it and no suggestion on how to make it better.
Yesterday went well. I got up and did my bike ride. It took me a while to get my HR up to the correct zone, but now I know what level to put the bike at in order to get my HR up. So next week I should hopefully get it up faster. I also went swimming as well. Overall, a great day...and even though I had extra calories at the end of the day I didn't eat more. I didn't feel hungry so I didn't see a need to eat. So that was pretty awesome. Hoping I can keep that up!
This morning I was going to head to the Y to do some running reps on the treadmill at an incline. But I woke up feeling completely done in. So I slept in an extra hour and a half and it made a massive difference! I can still get it in. I just leave my bible study right away and head straight to the Y. I normally sit around and chat, so I'll have to skip that. But it was worth it to make sure my body got enough rest! Tonight I also do my upper body weight lifting.
Tomorrow my brother in law flies in. He and my hubby will be hanging out...so it shouldn't affect my workouts. We may go out to eat a couple times. I'm not too worried, as I've been under my calories for the past week...so a few days of indulgence should be okay. Besides, I have gotten pretty good at planning out what I'm going to get ahead of time to help keep my choices healthier.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!0 -
Hello all. House went on market yesterday and within one hour had two appts one today and one thursday and wednesday is open house for realtors, so its on!
Last night my sinus was worse so i decided not to take bendryl that was helping me sleep. I didnt sleep until 5 and woke up with loud rain gutter noise like a hammer outside the window at my friends house at 7. I almost stayed home last night thinking fans wouldnt be on but they turned on early at 11:30 so we came over.
I am getting freaked about this move, inventory of homes in area we want to move to is low right now.
If i could just sleep and have some free time i could exercise my stress off.

Val it sounds like you had an awesome day yesterday! I've been reading a lot of studies lately about the importance of getting enough rest (especially as it pertains to your workouts) so it was also really smart to listen to your body this morning and get the sleep you needed.
Marla moving is so stressful! My former co-worker's house was on the market for quite a long time -- long enough that she got lazy about making sure it was picked up every morning -- and one day she had a message from her realtor that they were showing the house in an hour. The drapes were closed, there were dirty dishes in the sink, there were baskets of laundry in the living room, etc. That person ended up buying the house.
I thought we were having Pilates tonight but instead it's body sculpting (which I don't do), so unless my trainer objects I might try to take a bonus rest day. Jason showed me a different stretch last night that targets my sore spot on my IT band, and he also wants me to start icing it.0 -
Marla, wow! That's great about the house. It can be stressful selling and stressful buying, but if just one of those tasks will go a little better than hoped for, it sure can take a load off your mind.
val, it sounds like you are getting into the right groove. Glad you got the rest, it's so important.
Today I did 5mi while kids were at the tutor and that's it. The beach was nice--windy with patches of dark clouds that make the sea look very turquoise. It was nice. I'm always amazed that people swim and hang out on the beach year around. I'll be running in short sleeves, pass a woman in a knit cap, scarf, coat, and boots like she's freezing, and a few minutes later I'm seeing a woman on the beach in a bikini! Lol! The wide range of temperature tolerance, haha!
Have a good one!0 -
