Wednesday-I hurt all over from last nights Burn Baby Burn class and could not make the a.m. water aerobics class

Thursday-60 min. Burn Baby Burn Water Aerobics class

Fri/Sat/Sun-Off

Dang it...my work scheduled changed and I can't make a class on Friday. Nothing on Sat/Sun or I would go...I love water aerobics and I hate to miss it.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Today : 10k run 60 mins

Yesterday weight lifiting and spin class

[Ceradad 10]

Check in time. I've been on vacation since Monday, so I haven't been on here. Too busy.

Saturday-Ran my 4th 5k. Very hilly course. Finally managed to run the whole way and came in @ 29:10. 40 seconds slower than my last 2, but with the hills, I was happy.

Sunday-Took day off from exercising.

Monday-As I was off from work, I rode my bike to the gym. Took my now medium course there and long way back. Medium course is 3.75 miles, long way is 5.75 miles. Did my upper body 11 rep workout and 90 minutes of cardio.

Sidenote-woke up with very painful nerve on bottom of my foot. Been having problems with it from time to time, but it was constant.

Tuesday-foot still sore, but still made it in to the gym. Rode bike long way round trip to gym. Lower body 11 rep circuit workout. 65 minutes of cardio.

Wed-Foot still sore. Rode bike long way roundtrip to gym. 100 minutes of cardio only.

Thursday-Ditto on foot. Did not ride bike as I had my appt with the PA for my lb. Did my 11 rep circuits for upper body and 65 minutes of cardio.

Friday-Foot-pain. Working a double today so I had to get both lower body and cardio in this morning. Only got 45 minutes of cardio in.:thumbs_up:

Talked with DW last night about foot pain. She said she had something similiar when she was 17. Forget what she called it, but said it is a bunch of nerves that get bunched up. Only treatment is surgery to cut them out. May have to put the whole sprint tri thing on hold for this summer. I have dr appt for it, but not until July 7.

[Ceradad 10]

Oh yeah, funny story from PA appt yesterday. I was talking with her about my goal weight. Said I was looking to get to 240 and maintain btwn 235 and 250. She said they had a program on computer to show ideal and goal weights.

She couldn't get it going, so she got an older lady to come in and help her out. New lady, Barb, brought up the program. Said they like to get people to about 75% of excess body weight from initial appt. For me, that would be about 220. Ideal for my height is 172. Said maybe somewhere btwn there for around 195. I looked at them both and :thumbs_up:. They both said it wasn't going to happen for me as I obviously work out with weights.

Barb then looked at me and said "May I?" and proceeded to grab my biceps, my pecs and my thighs. Then said that I really do workout. I realized I had just been "felt up" at my surgeons office. And for the right reasons.:thumbs_up:

Needless to say, it made my day.

[whosyadaddy 0]

You got felt up! Thats awesome!!!!!

I selpt through my alarm this morning DANG IT! I got to get a better way to wake me up. I have been watching my cals really close the last 2 days as my weight has been stuck for 4 weeks or so.

Well it has helped. GOt between 1200-1500 and the scale looks like its moving again. 269.5 this morning and thats on my high bathroom scale. My YMCA scale normally reads lower. SO nothing for today (Thats SO FRUSTRATING for me) tomorrow i will be at the 7.15am spin class and after i should be able to take a run and swim i hope.
