Today was my rest day, which came to me just in the nick of time. My youngest was up from 12:30-1 and then from about 3:30am-8am and Ive caught the kids’ cold. Im trying to fight it off with my bestfriend Airborne. That stuff saved me while training for my half marathon this past december! With one Petri Dish in Preschool bringing home every germ known to mankind (and many unknown Im sure!) I had to fight off the sniffles constantly. So today I havent dont any training. I need to work on my arms this evening though. This morning I was up a couple of pounds but thats normal for me after a long run. Tomorrow hopefully Im back to normal. I noticed this morning that my ribs/chest looked different. It looks smaller, very odd! (Im not complaining though!) I still have a week or two before I retake my measurements, the visual change has me curious though. Tomorrow Ill know if Ive lost any weight. I ate horribly today though, seriously bad. This morning at like 5am the kids said they were hungry so I warmed up the left over pancakes and ate a couple small ones while they polished off the rest. At lunch I swung through McDonalds and got the kids and my husband a double cheeseburger each and got myself a shamrock shake. I drank part of it and gave the rest to the kids, I had two bites of my youngests burger and almost immediately felt my stomach protesting. That was the first high fat food Ive eaten in a couple of weeks and my body did not appreciate it. Besides that I snagged a couple nibs and thats all Ive eaten today, this is definitely not the way to lose weight! Im not feeling really well so I guess that and not working out shot my appetite. Im not really hungry yet for dinner, I might grab a banana later or something.
Tomorrow I have 45 minutes at 4/1 intervals scheduled I believe. I did my 10 miles at 4 running 1 walking and that went well so Im considering running 5 walking 1 and seeing how that goes. Itll depend on what my heart rate monitor says and how Im feeling. If I still have a sore throat I wont be pushing myself at all, I hate that raw feeling in my throat and I will wuss through a work out to avoid it when Im sick. I have noticed that when Im exercising regularly and I do catch a cold I get better much quicker than I used to!
