A good day

Today was good. I worked a split shift today and I tend to use that as an excuse (because im on my feet all day) to not work out but I decided that I am not making any more excuses and Im just gonna do it. My right ankle (my bad one is the left one) was hurting today and my right hip while I speed walked on the treadmill today for 3.5 miles and Im not sure why exactly but maybe I slept funny or something. I have another split shift tomorrow but plan to go to the gym before work and stick to my plan and work out more :)

Enjoying the holidays

I know I have slacked off on postings but I plan to get better about that. I reinjured my ankle recently so it has been very frustrating to me especially since my main focus right now is on doing lots of cardio and I need working limbs. Today I speed walked on the treadmill for an hour at 3.7 mph and it felt good. I didnt run, I wanted to, but Im not going to push it too much right now. I got a new pair of running shoes today (and hiking boots) and hopefully that will be helpful. I am really looking forward to being able to run again.
My diet today consisted of 4 tangelos for breakfast, lunch was 6inch turkey sandwhich for subway and dinner was chicken and rice with veggies. I drank lots of water and OJ and splurged a tiny bit and ate a couple tiny sugar wafers, oh and I had a yoplait smoothie :)
We got snow today, it was so beautiful :) and I went to go visit Sandi and her new baby Wynter and had a nice visit with them before going to work so it was a pretty good day :)

Good Workout

Today I hit the treadmill for an hour and I felt great, the first mile didnt hurt like having shin splints like so I think thats a good sign, I guess my body must be adjusting well to it. I made a berry smoothie with nonfat plain yogurt for breakfast and 2 scrambled eggs. I think today I will buy a steamer if they arent too much, its a much healthier way to cook food.
