Being a Slacker

I've been a slacker for the past two weeks. I was really down because I stepped on the scale and, even though I exercised 21 out of 31 days in January, I gained some pounds that I don't want to talk about. I decided to give up treats for the month of February. I've only slipped up a day or two.

I am excited about the Rabbits and Snails group and look forward to training. I thought it was interesting that the trainers mentioned how important weight lifting and core work are. I want to work on trying to incorporate this into an extra day.

So far this week:
Sunday: ran 6 miles
Monday: ran 3 miles
Tuesday: Weights, Pilates
Wednesday: Basketball game

Hopefully I can get a run in tonight and Saturday.

Last week:
Sunday: 2.5 miles
Monday: 3 miles
Tuesday: 3 miles
Wednesday: Basketball

In other news, I bought new basketball shoes. They have helped but I still have some shin splits. I am going to try to get new running shoes this weekend.

  1. Don't beat yourself up for a weight gain. We women you know can retain water at certain times of the month - sometimes I weigh 4 lbs more at that time! It sucks, but it's our lot in life. Also, are you sure you are eating enough? You are doing tons of running and stuff -- make sure you are getting enough food!!!
