Team Skinny - Back to School (Sept 08) (Page 3)

Welcome Katie.

Who is this Shermbelle person?  It can't be that young whippersnapper  can it?

Nice to meet everyone here, and good luck to all with their goals.

I tried to start the month off with a 3m run this evening.  I got some new running shoes last week...ran 1.5m in them twice, no problems.  Today during the 3m run though, one of my toes started getting sore.  Sure enough, a blister formed when I was done.  I hope this is just a "breaking in the shoe" kind of thing and not a re-occurring event. 

(Note:  I am new to running, and this is my first real fitted running shoe.  I have a swimming background.)

ding, ding, ding we have a winner

5% loss in body fat is awesome!!! Congratulations you're doing great! Good luck on the 5k tomorrow, and remember to ice the knee! I've also found bromelain to be pretty helpful. It's an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties.

I took benedryl last night...usually that puts me right out...but still had trouble sleeping...my brain was too worried over the stuff happening right now. 

Still eating healthy today...and my weight dropped way down...I know its just the scale demon playing mind games...but oh well.

Well after saying I was joining the club again I guess I sorta failed at actually doing so.  I don't like these big long threads....ya miss a week and it's way too hard to catch up!  And with the crazy last couple of months I've had, I've had many weeks that i've been gone completely.

So I'll just keep making random stop ins I guess.  I do have exciting news.  Somehow...for reasons I can't quite figure out....I'm a onesie again!  198.8.  I have been paying attention to what I eat (mostly...but I've been travelling a lot and it was my bday last weekend so it hasn't been great) and I haven't been working out at all.  I have been staying active though....I've been doing quite a bit of bike commuting around town which I haven't been logging but probably should since my log looks so empty.  I've also done a lot of test riding in hopes of buying a road bike (not gonna happen yet unfortunately but we're getting there).  Anyway I hadn't weighed myself in forever but figured I would give it a go just to see how bad it was.  Somehow I've lost 5 pounds since the last time I checked!  Woohoo! I'm thinking part of it is that my body was just exhausted and needed some downtime to rest and regroup without entirely stopping all activity.  In a couple of weeks i'm headed out to the woods of north carolina for a two month long outward bound class...so no training per se, but lots of hiking, climbing, rafting, etc. 

Just droppin by to share the news....hope you all are doin well.  Sorry I haven't been around more....once I'm back from outward bound I'll try to become a regular again...cus for some strange reason I miss ya'll!
