Sick

I did myself some real damaged yesterday. I got so burnt that today I had low blood pressure that I almost fainted. I ended up having to spend the whole day in bed. Every time I stood up I felt dizzy.

Motivational Quotes

These are the quotes that I am considering for my motivational quote. I am going to let them percolate over the day and then decide.

Shin Splints Again

I am back with really sore shin splints. I've been taking it easy all week. Not done any high impact. Today I went for a ramble. And I mean ramble. I took my camera (pictures to follow tomorrow I think). I stopped. I didn't walk fast. Now my shins are killing me. This is so unfair. I need to be able to run this summer for exercise since I don't have the same access to a gym. This is killing me. How am I supposed to keep up my weight loss if I can't exercise. I don't want to stall. I want to keep going. I am really dreading weigh in this week. My calories have been in range but towards the higher end all week. It is really worrying me. *sigh* one step at a time.

Swimming

I went swimming for the first time today in absolutely ages. I managed to swim for 40 minutes and could probably have gone for longer but the pool was closing. Once I entered my time into the fitness tracker and saw how many calories I had burned I was floored. I will definitely be swimming in the fall. My legs are cramping a bit now but it is the good kinda cramping. I feel great!

Starting To Fit Into My Clothes Again

I've already said that I now fit into the dress to the wedding and today I was trying on some of my clothes that I wore before I became fat. They are slowly starting to fit. A pair of trousers that were comfy back when I worked but that didn't fit at all in October and loose around the thighs and moving towards comfy in the waist. This is a real confidence booster for me. I also tried on my real skinny jeans (I almost gave them to my sister last fall. I am in no where able to button them yet but they do fit around the thighs. Really moving in the right direction.

Didn't have a great food day today but staid in limits so...try again tomorrow.

Sleepy

Not had a great day today after a good day yesterday. Weather is depressing and my essay is starting to stress me out again. I was really tired and ended up taking a nap in the afternoon. I still have my video to do today. Just going to finish my herbal tea and then do them and then bed. *sigh* I have to do yoga tomorrow. I wanted to go swimming but without a car...I hate not having a car.

Shopping

I went out and bought a swimming suit today. It isn't terribly stylish but it will keep me going until I loose the rest of the weight. It is a rather boring blue colour. Speedo which I like. I also bought a bra to go under the blue dress and now I am freaking that it is to revealing. gahhhh.

I need to watch my calories the rest of the week. They have been creaping up the last few days to the middle to upper part of my range. I want to bring them back down to the lower part. Especially since I am not running right now.

Didn't get to go swimming today. Just got home to late. Will try tomorrow.
