Entry for:
February 8th, 2007

I am not sure how to sum up the day. The rain surely did not help with motivation part. I ended up walking with my neighbor. We put on our rain jackets and off we went. I am glad she went with me, not much fun doing it by myself, especially in the rain. It was actually nice to slow down a bit, I am so used to walking this stretch in about an hour, with her it took us almost 20 minutes more. But I don’t mind, it gave my knees a break from the previous day’s jog.

February 9, 2007
Rain, rain, rain and more rain. I got lucky, it stopped for about an hour or so in the morning, so I took the chance and went out there. Jogged for about 2 miles and walked 2 miles back in an hour. I am happy about that. I really need to get myself new running shoes. Mine have seen much better days. They are fine for walking, but not for jogging. My knees are bugging me, not to mention my lower back. And I’ll be standing for most of the day tomorrow. Where is the Aleve??? I am pulling a 12-hour shift and depending on how busy it gets I could be on my feet all day long.
I prepared all of tomorrows food: big salad with chicken and a whole-wheat tortilla, fruits (apple banana, pear), veggies (raw cauliflower and asparagus) 2 Tbs Ranch (real stuff, don’t like fat free and it’s worth it for me to spend the calories on) and a yoghurt. Plus, of course enough water. That’s a total of 995 calories. I have some room for a little something in between and/or when I get home by 9:30pm.

What a bummer though, DH will get off an 48 hour shift, but I will be gone before he gets home. So, I might get an hour with him in the eveningLL. He will be leaving Sunday morning right after I leave for work and will not be back until Thursday nightLL. Getting a little bummed out about it now. That’s 8 days for us not being able to be togetherLL
Can you say “THIS BITES!!”
