Feeling a Tad Bit Better

What a dreary Tuesday! Well we just got back from lunch and I have to say that it was rather interesting. The Pumpkin Pear Waffles were good but the preparation was different to say the least. I added water to the mix which helped. Maybe it was my waffle maker. ha!

Anyways, I'm hoping to get some exercise in tonight. Not sure how much my body can take so I might walk for 30 minutes at a good pace. I still don't feel completely hydrated. And I'm not sure if I can eat anything else today after that waffle. Wow, am I full!

Recovering from a hard weekend

Well I rested my leg Friday night and decided to get up early Saturday and work out. So, Saturday was a pretty busy day. I got up, got Greg up, and we went to work out. I pushed myself a little farther on my run. I'm liking the eliptical more and more. It doesn't seem to have the strain on my muscles as running on a treadmill. I ran for 1.85 miles (my usual being 1 mi running) without feeling any pain. I felt great. I did a few weights and then had to hurry back to shower and get to my hair appointment. I love getting my hair done! :) Then we went out Saturday night for the Jeremy McComb concert. It was a lot of fun! He put on a very good concert. Greg loved his energy. I think he's an official Jeremy McComb fan....other than him hugging me. He wasn't a fan of that haha! However, we went to Longhorn Saturday night and apparently my food wasn't the greatest because I spent Sunday with a pillow and blanket on the bathroom floor. :( I felt bad because Greg wanted to workout Sunday and we were going to spend the rest of the day at the zoo. I felt HORRIBLE! So he took care of me. So my eating habits were sparse yesterday and will definitely be sparse yet again today. :(

Breakfast: Banana, 98 calories

Lunch: White Rice w/butter & sugar, 245 calories

Snack: Red Plum, 36 calories

I'm pretty sure that it isn't healthy to eat all of your calories in 1 meal but I desperately needed food! And quite honestly, it was the only thing that didn't make my stomach turn at the thought of eating it. I love Bob Evans :)

Saturday-An AWESOME Run

So I found my magic food! While most runners claim it's pasta, last night's IHOP pancakes was the perfect blend of protein, fats, and carbs to make my 15 mile run today almost effortless! The weather helped too, it was the perfect fall day!

Snack: Banana, orange, apple, tea with half and half: 235 calories

Dinner: Turkey burger, sweet potato veggies:

Friday-Sheri's Rest Day

Today was my rest day, and I went to bed at 9 and got up at 7:30 this morning! Oh it was nice, except for the having to come to work part! HA! Tomorrow is 15 miles, I am excited to see my mileage decrease! I am going to take advantage of this break!

I mowed the yard last night, I normally hate to mow, but it was nice to be outside! Then I ran some errands and by the time I got home, it was time to eat, then I looked over some reading I needed to do and then shortly after that, headed to bed!

Not sure what's on the agenda for this evening, but glad the weekend is here!

Disappointed but Glad it's FRIDAY!!

Well last night was good. Greg and I discussed getting a dog for about an hour during dinner. haha He bought food from Kroger and on the back of his receipt was a coupon for $50 off a dog at Safari Pets. He said it was a sign. haha So I told him I would go look with him if we could go workout afterwards. He agreed. :) We came home without a dog (thankfully) and worked out by ourselves in his facility. It was nice. My calf still would not loosen up after doing all of the stretches Sheri showed me so I used the eliptical. It was great! I'm beginning to think that it's my new best friend. I ran farther and felt better. It definitely works different muscles than running on a treadmill. I did a few weights afterward but I also used the step machine in hopes of warming up my calf. Didn't happen. :( Oh well! I had Greg use the tennis ball to rub it out. I was screaming and laughing at the same time. It was a good hurt....but I couldn't take it for very long. It feels a little better this morning. I'm just hoping it works itself out so I can run again tonight!

And by the way....I was completely disappointed with Grey's Anatomy. It broke my heart. My show sucked. :( I think that 2hrs for a tv show is entirely too long. It's longer than a movie! No more 2hr shows please. What a complete let down!
