    I need to get out of the driveway, lol.

    LOL Jen.........how'd that go?

    I'm going out for a run and I'm hoping to run a bit more than I did last time I was out there! I'm taking a different route with less hills so I think I should be able to.

    We got too feet of snow so it was slow walking out there!

    Physical therapy later.

    I did get out of the drive and more importantly back up it, (steep hill). Everybody and his brother was at the grocer.

    I finally have my Dr's appt with the ortho guy on my shoulder this morning so my goal is to stay strong and stick up for myself and my goals. My own doc just wanted to give me meds (she thinks I need to slow down), which I refused, as I'd rather get to the bottom of this and fix it.

    I hope he's as good as everyone says he is!

    Going to the gym this morning and hoping to get a solid workout in without feeling sorry for myself because I can't do bench press and some other lifting that I enjoy..............running is my new best friend! Uggghhhhh!!!

    Going to the gym to start a pure loser course for 6 weeks today. Feeling a little apprehensive.

    I'm trying to just be smart today...........I had my alarm set to go to the gym this morning and then thought better of it until I see how physical therapy goes first. I may run on PT days instead and then gym it on the other days.....that sounds a little bit wiser and I am trying to get better not worse.....LOL

    Be smart and patient lulu, no point in delaying healing by doing too much too soon. Patience is not my strong suit.
    Made it to the gym yesterday and didn't night time snack, hoping for the same today.

    Good job on your day yesterday..........that treadmill work was impressive!

    Yes, thanks for the advice, I'm not the most patient person either.......LOL. I'll let the therapist lead the way!

    Did a workout video, woke up hungry which is always a good sign! I ate a small dinner last night, with lots of veggies. Still basking in my 7 lb weight loss !

    Pure loser class was very interesting. It's a 6 week nutrition course. We were encouraged to Batch cook all our meals on a Sunday for the week ahead. Not sure I can manage that. The instructor also mentioned doing more Weight bearing exercises.

    Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks? That sounds busy.

    I decided to not batch cook all my meals in advance. I see what the nutritionist has to say this week. I've
    been to the gym & done spin & circuits

    That's huge farback!!!! Good work!

    Bee, I couldn't really do that either I don't think. I'd feel like I was eating leftovers all week. I eat leftover chicken and
    sometimes leftover veggies in my eggs but that's about it.

    My goal today is to get the dog out for a longish walk. Don't think I'll run today since I ran at the gym yesterday but a nice chilly walk sounds okay.

    The trail will be muddy so I'll take the bike path. Sometimes I wish we had sidewalks but most of the time I enjoy walking/running on
    the horse trails.

    Have a great week everyone!

    If I was cooking solo, I might be tempted to not bother batch cooking but since I'm feeding two others, batching is the way to go for me... although I'm still working on my variety.

    Day off work due to snow today. Plan is to stick to calorie limit even though I'm home where the food is :)

    that's exactly my thinking Luluinca. I want my meals to be made fresh everyday. I can see the logic behind it. hope you enjoyed your dog walking :)
