Slowly but surely
So thanks to the good ole back, exercise has been non existent for the last couple of weeks. Tonight I attempted my first workout since running with my sister at the beach.
I wasn't planning to do a whole lot, but didn't expect to be put at a halt at 15 minutes. I walked 3, jogged 2, sprinted 1, repeat, repeat again only with the walking. I'm not trying to hurt myself so I figured I would call it quits at that. I came home did some crunches, reverse crunches (back didn't like), and a few chest flys.
Scott got me thinking a lot last night and I can't ever admit he's 100% right on the phone. He's not interested at all in running another half marathon, which makes sense. If you don't find running fun, why put your body thru that? He asked what my goal was by doing this. Making comments that he doesn't feel it is necessary if you only want the bragging rights that you did a half marathon. I don't think I'm articulating his argument well, but I completely understood what he meant and he had me stumped. I like the idea of having a goal and training for it. I like feeling like I am doing something with other people. As for getting the total body fitness and actually shedding pounds, he makes a good point that I need to train for something that is more challenging and a training schedule that works the whole body.
I never knew it possible to love someone so much and hate them that much at the same time, until I met Scott. Just Kidding! I gave him a fit for not being supportive. Threw in a few digs that I think Warrior Dashes are stupid (I don't really, just needed some ammo at the time and it backfired!). He told me he will be there to cheer me on and I'm 100% certain that if I said, "Come with me on my 9 mile run!", he would :) At least I hope ...
So Scott Seagull Henderson, if you are reading this, I apologize for giving you 'tude :) It's only because you irritate me so gosh darn much! Doesn't he look great in his Warrior Dash attire?

100 calorie pack of Kettle Chips (co-worker brought in from her vacation)
Tilapia (seasoned with no salt, just herbs)
Blueberries
M&Ms (small handful to help rid a headache)
Celery with Natural PB (such a pain to mix!)
Roasted pine nuts and almond slivers
1/2 can of Progresso Split Pea soup
Bite of Salmon (seasoned with rosemary, garlic, olive oil - made for tomorrow's lunch)

The Verdict
I sprained my back :(
This means 3 weeks of no exercise or unnecessary walking. So I will be reading a ton, laying on the couch equipped with my ICY HOT pack and pillow under my feet and back. To be honest, this just sucks.

If only
... the weigh-in was this morning the scale would have read 160.0. Oh well! At least I'm getting the number down.
I didn't sleep a wink last night because of my back pain. When I did close my eyes, I had a nightmare I was in a wheelchair and couldn't get into my apartment because there is no ramp! Then I started to think about how a ramp could get installed to the door of my apartment. Talk about an over-achieving worrier! That's how I feel.
I managed to score a doctor's appointment at 4:15. I don't have pain sitting or walking, just laying down or trying to switch sleeping positions. The pain was so bad I even made a heat pack out of a tube sock and uncooked rice. I microwaved it for 3 minutes like the instructions said but, HOLY HOT! I had to move so much to adjust the placement of the sock that I caused even more discomfort to myself! Luckily when I called Scott, crying naturally, he let me know the ice pack was also a hot pack. Since I had taken the ice pack out of the freezer to use the sleeve it was in for my sock heat pack, it had already thawed and into the microwave it went!
