A few things from the past:
The quilt - it sucks. You can see in the picture that nothing lines up. It is in its final stage where it has to be quilted, but I have no idea how to do that. I want to get it done by the end of the summer, but some help will have to be brought in for that!
The nutritionist:
I think she was a liar. Or calculated something wrong. Well, I haven't been following the whole thing where you circle what food group you are eating at all, but I've tried to be more aware of what I am eating and making sure I'm getting the recommended servings (70% of the time, I guess). One big change I've made is eating more cereal in the morning. It does keep me full longer. But I feel like I'm gaining weight and I feel puffy, so I don't know.
Change the way you think about things:
I've been better about that, at least trying to. I think the week in Maine was just HARD overall!
For headphones, I did get the Nike Vapor ones. For me, they are ok for now. They stay in my ear. I'm just not a BUD person though.
Yesterday's knee issue is still here today. I didn't even try to run today, instead I did the elliptical, some lifting and a pilates class (which I think helped). Hopefully I will wake up tomorrow and it will be fine. Also, my new shoes are expected to arrive today, so this should help. I think the random knee issue is my body's way of saying "You were even thinking about doing a marathon right now? We'll show you!! " Because I was definitely pondering it all week long. Good luck marathoners this weekend!! I'm envious of you!
thank you!!!!!
ReplyDeletenutrionist wasnt a liar - just takes time! plus - you know what plus :)
wish you were in sf too :) maybe next year!!! thanks for all the support!
Oooohhh I wondered about the Nike Vapors. Mine fall out from time to time and it gets annoying.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the kicks and I hope your knee starts to feel better!
I've looked at those Nike earphones and wondered if they work.
ReplyDeleteGook luck with your knee, I know how that is, had to wear a brace for my first half marathon, hope it gets better soon.
I hate bud earphones, but I also hate the big ones. I got some that are bud-like but have the regular "headband" thing at the Apple store. They are made by Nike, but I am not sure what they are called. I love them! I crunched my numbers with the formula you posted from the nutritionist, and to lose weight I should be only eating 1230 calories a day. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the knee, you're smart to rest it. I hope it's better soon.
ReplyDeleteI deeply admire you for attempting the quilt, it looks good to me! I have saved all my race shirts but who am I kidding, I don't even know where to begin. Good luck with it!
The fact that you can make a quilt is amazing in itself!! It's your first one, right? You should be proud! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy knees have also been iffy lately...and it happened about the same time I started considering training for a marathon.
ReplyDeleteInteresting...
Hope yours shape up soon.
LMAO at the odds and ends calling the nutritionist a liar and the quilt sucks which i am sure it does not!!!
ReplyDeleteHope the knee starts feeling better and the shoes will be the remedy.
Good idea to rest the knee. I hope it feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to find buds that stay put for an entire run. The shifting in my ears is so distracting and annoying. Those Vapors sound promising.
I hate bud headphones, they never fit right.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt may not be perfect, but at least you tried. I wish I could make them, but wouldn't even know how to start.
Hope the knee is feeling better.
