Hello Ladies! Everyone must be so busy. I know I have been that is why I keep posting later and later in the week. However, I can not let our check-in die. You ladies are wonderful and very inspiring so please check in when you get a free moment and let us know how you all are doing.
DH is finally home for a while. He was in Alabama all last week and the kids were not feeling well which left me one exhausted mommy with little to no sleep. I was a walking zombie. DD has been having major problems with her ear infections. I know you all are not surprised with as much as I keep saying she has one. Yesterday was her ENT consultation. She is scheduled to get tubes a week from today or if there is a cancellation maybe this Friday. In either case, I am so relieved that they will be doing this. At least then DD won’t be on antibiotics anymore. The only antibiotic that cleared up her infections is now not working at all according to the ENT doctor yesterday.
Let’s see my workouts were not that great this week. I’ve been trying new running shoes because my right heel keeps bothering me but I now know it is not the shoes that are the problems. I’ve decided to back off the running for a couple of weeks to help heal it before I begin my official half-marathon training the beginning of June. This week I’ve lost another 2 pounds. I’m not sure how the weight loss will be with me not running so much and my cardio limited because even stepping is bothering my heel, but I shall wait and see. In the meantime I am up my weight training this week and plan to do a lot more stretching which I should have been doing to begin with.
Here are my workouts from this past week:
Monday – Ran 3 miles & Body Max Abs
Tuesday – Rest
Wednesday – Ran 2 miles
Thursday – Rest
Friday – Rest
Saturday – Rest
Sunday – Ran 1.5 miles (heel was hurting pretty bad)
SunnyD – How are you liking Cardio Coach? Which one do you have? It has been on my to-buy list for at least 1 ½ years now but I’m not sure how much I would use it since summer is approaching. How are the kiddos doing?
Julie L – How is your asthma doing this week? I really hope you are feeling better. Dealing with asthma has to be tough especially since you are an active woman.
Kristan – You will be up to 6 miles in no time. You are doing great with your running and mileage. I was surprised how quickly I was able to build up to 7 miles before my injury set in. It is a minor set-back. Keep up the great work! I’ve thought about buying some more CIAs lately. One of my all time favs is with Donna Read. Right off the top of my head I can’t remember the number. What are your favs?
Annette – These last 10 pounds have been so hard to lose. We will get there but not as quickly as we would like. As far as dieting, I’ve been zigzagging my calories to help with the weight loss and have had great success with it. Of course the running I think was helping out tremendously these past couple of months. You are so close to your goal weight, keep up the good work!
Heidi – Welcome! I’m glad to see you decided to join us. If you want to try running just start slow, maybe even running/walking to get your body used to the pounding. Remember to stretch after you run and listen to your body. Your schedule looks really good. You will be able to lose the 7 lbs in no time. Keep up the good work.
Melanie – So glad to see your post. How is DH doing? Was he discharged on Saturday like you had hoped? Keep up the good workouts and try to take care of yourself. Regarding the running with the kiddos, most days that I run I am running solo because it is during my work lunch hour. I don’t think my shoulders could handle pushing them 3 or more miles.
Well, I’ve gotta get back to work. I’ll try to check-in sooner in the week. Take care!
Best wishes,
