Have been up since before 6am. Way too early!!
Catching up on posts here and thereJ:)
9:19am: ( 9529)
10:15am time for BF!!
Walking, walking, walkingJ Today will be a walking day. Best days to walk A LOT are when DH is on his 48h/shifts.
11:57 am (21787)
12:30pm lunch:
Trying to stay on my feet and active. I am afraid if I sit down for too long I will fall asleep.
3:05pm: (30095). Cool, I may even go for another PR today. Maybe:) I am ready for a break!!
Still have a few things on my to do list!
Change of plans! I think I am done. My legs are giving out on me & I think they need some serious couch potato timeJ
5:10pm appetizers galore!! Having a hard time fighting the urges, tried every trick in the book, but I still caved. I am not going to beat myself up over it. I KNOW this will not make me lose focus on what I am trying to accomplish. It will just throw me back a few ounces!
WOW, I just added all the junk into the food journal and I am still under 2000. Well, the way I feel though is a different story. It ain’t pretty to say the least.
6:30pm Went for a walk with the boys. First one on the leash two running around , then 2 on leashes (which are wrapped around my waist) and one running free. Then I put all three in the yard and walked by myself a bit. Jackson kinda blew it for me a little. He started barking non stop again, so I cut my walk short.
Feeling a bit better walking off some of the junk. I really didn’t want to do anymore after I hit 30k, but I guess a tiny bit of guilt started seeping through and not feeling too well gave me more reasons to walk some more.
To be honest I have more regrets because I ened up feeling so crappy and not so much because I ate it. I know one is the cause of the other, but not feeling well is worth than having to pay the piper and walk a few more miles. Making up by working out some extra gives me a sense of control when I am on “bad behavior”
8pm: I will walk for 1 more hour and that’s it!! After that I should have walked off all the remaining “guilty pleasures” from earlier! And maybe I’ll even break a new record! That would make me feel really good:)
8:30pm checking in & water break. Half hour of light jogging done another ½ to go and I am not sure if I will make it to reach a new PR .
9:15pm I am passed what I said I would do, but I couldn’t help myself. Just a few minutes after posting last I got the urge to cool off a little and decide to continue outside on the road in front of the house. Man that felt good. I had no idea that after only walking for so long jogging would be so easy again. It just felt good and I wanted to keep going. But also knowing I need to be careful because of my back I didn’t overdo it either.
Jackson kept me company off leash and he did very well running “heel” when I told him to. He is such a good boy!
Now I need to do some long and slow stretches! I know I have a couple of blisters on the bottom of the heel and toe., can feel a slight burning sensationJ
My day is over! I will sit down and watch “Monk” now:)
