Back On Track & Cattle Guards Suck

After a week of not being active and eating whatever was in front of me, I feel like I'm really getting back on track this week.

I've only walked and done jogging intervals for 7 miles so far because after a week of loving my couch, my shins are having a hard time getting back in the groove. It's amazing how taking that little bit of time off was such a step back. I've always had shin splint issues, so I'm trying to get back to my routine without hurting myself.

Speaking of hurting myself...

Last night was supposed to be a rest night, but the wind is forecasted to be crazy today, so I decided to go ahead and get my walking done last night.

After my 3 miles was finished, I crossed the cattle guard on our road and my foot got hung up on one of the metal edges that was sticking out. It pretty much threw me onto the bars on the ends, banging up my shin and knee.

Luckily, none of our neighbors were outside, but there were tons of cars passing by on the highway. Needless to say, I jumped up quick and high-tailed my butt to the house.

I'm so sad it tore a hole in my new sneakers I got for losing 30lbs. =(

 

Meals have definitely been more healthy this week too. I'm back to logging all my food on MapMyWalk and I haven't gone over my allowed calories this week.

I won't be at my goal weight at the end of the month as I had planned, but I'm back on track. That's all that matters in the long run.

On a positive note, I finally weigh less than the hubs and have for about a week now. Granted, he hasn't been trying all that hard this month, but I don't care. I've been chasing him in weight loss since the beginning of the year and I finally did it.  I never want to weigh more than him again!
