The weight will be FALLNG off....soon!

That was a pretty corny title... I know. Isn't the picture pretty though? I took it a few days ago. (I've been in Yellowstone, for those who didn't know). It was a blast, but I didn't exercise as much as I was hoping too. We went on a hike to a waterfall one day, so that was good. We walked 328 stairs down, and back up. I was surprised by how NOT out of breath I was. I was passing people, stopping for breaks right and left, so that made me feel GREAT! Anyway, eating, like most people on vacation, was a joke. This blog is awesome though, because as I read the recent posts when I got home, I was IMMEDIATELY motivated again!!!

Guess what? On Wednesday, before I left, I ran the 5k in 32 minutes and 11 seconds! Impressive huh!? Well...maybe not, but I was still excited. My right shin has been really sore though for the past week. It almost feels bruised, but the pain goes away after about a mile once I start running. But, as soon as I'm done, it's back. I thought the break would help heal it, but it still hurts. I don't want to hurt myself, but I don't know what's wrong? Do you think I could be landing funny when I run to make it hurt? Any ideas? Oh, well.


This week. HMMM... Okay, I guess I'll write down everything I eat as well. Last time I did this, I typed up my own little Daily log paper. ( Not nearly as cute as Jill's but same idea.) I actually had James print it up for me at school and when I got it back, he had added his own little section. On the bottom it said, "A total daily score of 99% or better will result in some hot lovin' with James". I suppose he thought this would be GREAT motivation. Well....HOT LOVIN'....HERE I COME!!!


For food: I'll try only 3 treats again...until Next Sunday. Wish me luck! Also, I'll do better at drinking more water, and focus on eatng more vegetables this week. I usually do fine with fruits, but I need to find ways to get more vegies in my diet! That's what I'll focus on this week!


As for excercising: I'll keep it about the same too.
