Confession: I had a double portion of french fries at 12:20am (yes after midnight). No excuses for that sort of behaviour. Could anyone kick me in the...... please

OK. . . so here's what I decided. Food journaling works really well for me, BUT when I start bingeing (which I struggle with) ...

So, Sunday night I played volleyball which is my favorite sport to play. I ended up injuring my knee. Sunday night was very painful and I was hoping that when I woke up Monday it would be better. It was much better than the night before but still not 100%. I took a rest day, once again hoping that when I woke up this morning that it would be better. It was a little better this morning, but I have 2 flights of stairs in my house and they are killing me. I thought I would get out to the pool this morning for a little low-impact workout. Although it didn't hurt all that much, it hurt enough for me to be concerned.

I am still trying to train myself to swim with my face in the water and still am not very successful at it. The stress of that plus my knee being injured was too much for me to take and I started crying. The thought of not being able to do my tri in June because of a stupid volleyball game makes me angry and sad all at the same time. I am trying to get a doctor's appointment for this week and hopefully it will be good news.

Ok, for the third straight month my goal is to get below 150. At least I have been making gradual progress towards that goal, but I really need this weight to drop faster.

If I could somehow get to 145 (perhaps unrealistic) I would be absolutely ecstatic. I'm going to make under 150 my official, and hopefully finally attainable goal.

This first week of March I am pretty pleased with myself. Haven't always made the best eating choices, but have been exercising fairly regularly.

I want Ohio's workout video:  Squat prom dress down...Rise with explosive power prom dress up....Squat prom dress down.... I crack me up!!

I believe journaling is good not only to keep you honest, but to see what you are actually doing instead of what you "think" you are doing.

You don't think it's your ACL do you? Can you still walk with moderate pain but without a limp? If so, it's probably just bruised or you may have hit the bone. But either way that's what bandaids are for. It will come, you have to realize that.

As to training about swimming with your head in the water. Can you hold your breath for very long? Even if you can't, try a few drills where your sitting under the water, totally emersed. You need to get used to feeling safe with water above your head. Then there is the idea of being out of breath (swimming). So, the next step I would think is a systematic desensitization technique used to allow moderate exercise in the pool with your head emersed. Slow your breathing down and work upward to full exertion. I'm guessing that your heart rate is also elevated when you swim, because your trying to get to the end too quickly. Take advantage of your training and use this time to TRAIN yourself to breath properly, the heart issue should fall in place.

I had a similar issue when I ran. I was going to quickly, I didn't realize the importance of pacing myself. What's the point of doing a 3-6 mi run if I'm dead after the first 400 yds.?

i146q - 2008-03-04 2:59 PM  Have a contigency plan. Mine is I'm actually shooting for 1-2 lbs below my ideal/goal weight, that way if I gain the extra (water weight or whatever), I'll be right where I want to be.
