Weigh In Wednesday

Guess what guess what guess what????

I saw a new second digit this week on the scale!!!

Today I was down to 218.2 lbs! That is a total of 36.4 pounds lost in total.

What a relief it was to see that "1" on the scale. I feel like I've been flirting with it for weeks now. I love getting the rush of accomplishment when the number pops up. It's also fun to see my projected weight on MFP when I plug in my food diary each day. Right now I'm usually around a projected weight of 206 in 5 weeks. Soon I will see 200...and then the number will begin with a 1. Holy cow. I can't wait.

In exercise news, last night's run was a bit hard. I was really hurting. My shin was very bothersome. I've been icing it on and off for the last couple of days and that does seem to relieve the pain when I do. Tonight I am going to possibly just do some swimming to keep off of the legs as much as I can. I'm going to do my 2 mile run tomorrow but then I am contemplating either skipping this week's Sunday run and just repeating this week's training schedule next week or just doing the 4 miles on the elliptical on Sunday. We shall see!

First signs of pain

I am feeling my first signs of possible strain or pain or injury. I'm not sure where to classify this as I'm not sitting on the couch sidelined nor am I about to head into the doctor for an x-ray or check-up. I'm also not mistaking it with the good sore pain. This is right knee pain and left shin pain. I'm really hoping that neither ache is the beginning of anything serious. 

Today I just did my water fitness class and that was it. Tomorrow is just going to be a rest day. Well, rest as in not actually going to the gym. Actual rest is probably unlikely as this will be our first weekend in three weeks that we either don't have guests or we're not out of town. We have a ton of cleaning and organizing to get done. Sigh. Sometimes being an adult is so overrated. Oh who am I kidding - *most* of the time being an adult is overrated.

I'm really, really hoping that my bones start feeling better. I have my longest run to date coming up on Sunday with my 3.5 miler. No lasting injuries please!!
