It seemed like everything that could go wrong did go wrong today and by the end of it.....I was just glad it was over.

I'm STILL waiting on my bike to get fixed.

I started out on a bike ride today using DH's bike and got a flat tire 1 mile (literally) down the road.....went back home changed said tire and it refused to inflate...bike pump is not working....

I hurt my legs last night on the treadmill...it's the damn, freaking, stupid, shin splints that keep me from really pushing myself to what my potential could be. I'm scare to death I am REALLY gonna hurt myself if I don't stop running when they start hurting. I can not get past week 3 of the C25K plan I'm doing because they are so freaking painful. I really believe that once I drop more of this weight they won't be so bad. The aren't as bad as they have been. But they are bad enough that I want to cry at the end of my workout. Which is why since the bike ride didn't work out so well I couldn't fall back onto the treadmill.....

I could have worked out on the elliptical, but I did that last night and I really like a recovery day between the treadmill/elliptical and the bike rides. The bike rides are usually about 10-12 miles long.....

I could have done yoga on the Wii but my studio has been taken over by my son who is home on leave from the military and 1. I really hate working out at home and 2. I don't like working out in front of people. There IS always the gym but the two pieces of equipment I use there are being fixed.

My calorie intake was on target for the day......that's a good thing. I've been working really hard this week and I still have a few days until weigh day for the PAW challenge. I think I am going to see scale movement in a positive (downward trend) direction.

I got complemented on my weight loss today and I was thrilled about that. I don't want other people's opinions to influence my weight loss behavior though. I'm doing this for me....not for attention....however, I'm not going to pretend the attention is not appreciated. The nicest thing is my DH and how much he just always has something nice to say about the way I look. THAT means the world to me. I love his approval. I try to remember that his approval isn't my goal, but I love that he is pleased with the way I look.
