Hmmm..

My foot is still bothering me - I went back to the podiatrist and she ordered a bone scan to be done on the 15th. She said that if I fractured my calcaneus, that it won't show in an xray. So I have to endure yet another test. I guess they inject it with a dye and then I have to go back 3 hours later to have it read. I seriously hope it's not a fracture.

I have been working out, just not running. I started the Power 90 program (not P90X) and began the week at 183.0, this morning I was 177.4, so not a bad first week! I was a little pissed at myself for getting back over 180 again, and our week up in Traverse certainly didn't help. We have been eating really well - even managing to cook dinners together after our workouts. Most of the time we want to kill each other in the kitchen - we definitely have different ideas about the way things should be cooked. We used recipes from Stephen's metabolism advantage book and one of my 30 min cookbooks this past week. Neither one of us is counting calories, just watching our portions and trying to cook healthier meals.

I certainly plan on continuing the Power 90 program all the way through - it's 3 days resistance, and 3 days cardio + abs with 1 rest day per week. The first few days were really hard - the 3rd resistance day was a little easier so I'm going to try to up my weights on some of the exercises and see what happens. The cardio and ab work is still tough though. At least this will help maintain my fitness level so when my foot is better I'll be in better shape to begin running again.

Our fence is finally up and ready to stain. We also got pre-approved for a mortgage so when it sells we are ready to be on the buyers end :)

  1. I renewed my membership to Delta's Fitness Center for another month. I took last week off cause I strained my back. I started up again this morning. If it weren't for working out and playing hockey I'd go insane. I want to run again soooooo bad! I'm going to try to run the Run by the Bay this weekend. If I don't do well, and my foot hurts too bad, than I'm just going to walk Bayshore with Tiffany.

    I saw your house on the real estate page. The fence looks great. Hope you sell. We got some furniture from my brother and got our living room rearranged, and it looks pretty good. We're wanting to start a garden first of June.
    My weight hasn't really changed much. If I could run again, I'd be great, but the weight training is definitely helping.

    Well, we'll see you in a couple of weeks.
