Maintaining

I'm still hanging out in the 145s despite not being able to run, which is a very good thing. I went to Pilates yesterday, so I at least got some form of exercise, but not running is driving me crazy. I keep thinking to myself, "It doesn't hurt THAT bad", but I know that's the ticket to a serious, long-term injury so I'm doing everything within my power to resist. The plan is to try for 4-5 miles on Saturday, with nothing but Pilates and lifting in the interim. Sigh...

The good thing is that I've got until October 13 to get ready for my marathon--that's more than 16 weeks. So even if I need another week off, it won't be the end of the world, right? Right. So why do I feel so anxious?!?

Dinner last night was delicious, but over the top. I was really happy to see 145.8 on the scale--I just KNEW I'd be at 147 again. Hooray for the veggie eating plan! So far, I'm enjoying all the salads and fruit. It feels good to eat healthy food!

Wedding dress shopping is 8 weeks from Saturday, and my goal is to be under 140 by then. Five pounds in eight weeks--totally doable, right? I'm notorious for my deep and abiding HATRED of shopping. Seriously, I hate it. I put it off until the last minute, then cry--actually cry--when I have to go. Yuck. At least I'll have plenty of moral support with me!

Hope you all have a great day,
Jen

Good idea

I think you need to make sure you're healed before you start running again.  You know that you can make it worse by pushing too hard too early. 

Anyway, maybe you didn't do quite as bad as  you think you did last night. 

And your goal is definitely doable.  You'll make it!  :-)

Wedding Dress Shopping

I can't say I enjoyed shopping for my wedding dress either.  After awhile they all look the same.  I knew exactly what I wanted, so I probably should have just hired a seamstress.  Oh, well!

Good luck with the healing - I know how you feel!

Have a great day!
