I didn't weigh myself this morning. This weekend was really stressful with the exam and although I don't feel that I blew my diet, I definitely wasn't as strict as I wanted to be. I also missed my long run over the weekend, so I will have to double up on workouts this week.
I ran 5 miles today (my long run this week) and felt oddly dizzy during the entire run. Not sure what's going on with that ?! I went to the podiatrist this morning and she fixed up a couple of my toenails. I had another one fall off (gross). My poor little toes have had some major trauma the past 6 months! I plan on buying a new pair of running shoes after I start my job. I'm still wearing my Asics, which are ok - but I never got black toenails until this pair of shoes. I also found out today via xray that I have a bone spur on my left big toe - just the news I wanted to hear when I've started my marathon training again... The doc gave me a silicone sleeve to put over my toe during runs. I used it today and it felt fine - so hopefully it will do the trick to prevent the spur from hurting me any further.
I'm glad that the exam is over, but am having severe anxiety about the results. Everyone is reassuring me that I must have passed - but I'm still not so sure myself. I'll keep praying. In the meantime I hope that my weight continues to drop little by little - I feel and look like crap right now. I'm very uncomfortable in my clothes and I hate it. I'd like to be under 180 by the end of the week. With the training on my schedule and good food in the house, shouldn't be a problem.
Sorry to hear about your toe problem Julie. That is yucky!

Are you nuts. Julie, we are not small people. Have you looked at Mom and Dad lately. I look like I could birth a baby sometimes. All you can do is try not to eat at night and maintain an elevated fitness regiment.
ReplyDeleteAnd the toes...have Stephen buy you some right now before you get fungus like I had. I am sure you don't want yellow fungi feet.
About the exam....let it go. If you passed you passed, if you didn't, well... you'll just have to study harder next time. Nothing you can do about it now. You should try to enjoy your time off because it won't last very long.
I love you. You look nice in all of your outfits. You are very smart and have worked hard to get where you are. Feel good for a few minutes and then look to the future as a positive thing.
Your brother, Rob
