It's Friday!

Good day blog world! It is finally Friday and it is supposed to be a fantastic day weather wise. I so love the spring/summer time, I was definitely born in the wrong country.

 

The week has been good, long but productive. Got tons done at work and got a few good workouts in. Not as many as I would have liked but at least I did some. Today is a new day and I started it out right. I came downtown very early this morning, left the house at 4:45 and was jogging with my friend along the river by 5:45. I have not walk/run outside since sometime in April. All my Learn to Run sessions have been on the treadmill. We started out with 3:1x5 this time because it has been so long since we ran but honestly, I could have done much longer. It’s good to start easy and know where you are than to push it too much and overdue it. We agreed to get together twice a week like this downtown here as the river path is so lovely at that time of the day and there are very few other people about. Down here at lunch time, there must be thousands of walkers/joggers/bikers/rollers doing their thing and it gets a bit crowded.  And the good news is that my little toe did not hurt after I got moving. I went to the chiropractor yesterday to talk about my new orthodics and I mentioned my broken little toe. Now I know it’s not broken but I refer to it as that rather than bruised, sore and dislocated. Anyway, he adjusted my toe (ouch) and worked the  ball of my foot and viola – it feels much better now. Guess I should have gone to see him last week… would have felt better sooner. Live and learn!

 

So the weekend is coming up which can be challenging for me. We are not going camping so that allows me to workout hard and I will. But food is what I have issues with. I plan and organize for the week and then the weekend, I tend to forget to eat, then eat too much at a meal because I am hungry and didn’t get my 5 snacks/meals in. I don’t have an issue with drinking the water, in fact I’m probably better at home with water than I have been lately at work. I noticed this week I kept forgetting to drink my water. I sit here with a one litre bottle of water at my desk and I normally fill it twice during the day – I’ve been luck to complete one whole bottle lately.

 

 Anyway, I will be working on my yard and then having a BBQ later in the evening – which will involve drinks. I’ve got to find  something that I like to drink other than water and that is low in calories. I drink beer because it isn’t sweet and the fruity drinks have too much sugar and after one – yuck. So I switch back to beer…. I know I shouldn’t drink at all but I do and that is why my weight loss is so slow and it’s my fault and no one else’s. I’m in this for life and I just can’t see myself not drinking at all so I just need to moderate, be responsible and still enjoy myself.

 

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
