Very frustrated. Gym was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday due to weather; this sucks cause I wanted to get in a couple of good workouts before my the first of the month which the day I write my poundage on the calendar. So last night I was all set to get a really good one in. I get there and thought to myself that the treadmill gives me the best sweat so I'll jump on one of those after my warm up and core routine. I jumped on the bike for 20 min, did a quick core and proceded to runners stretch. I took my time strectching to really loosen up. I get on the treadmill and walk 4 mins at 3.5. Jack up the speed to 7 and start jogging. In a matter of 2 mins or less my right shin (I once said left, but it my right leg) was burning and stinging in pain. Pissed. I had to stop. This was a major mental motivation destroyer. I haven't ran in almost a week and my fricken shin is still messed up! WTF?!? Why is this? I'm still overwieght but dropped 10 so you'd think it'd be easier than when I first started. I looked up some internet sites looking for reasons this may be and one that freaks me out said it could be a hairline fracture in the bone. I seriously doubt this to be the case but wouldn't that suck? So I got my HR up a little but no where near what I was hoping to. Oh well shit happens.
So my official work scale wiegh in today, Feb fist is 215. Only 3 lbs less than Jan 2nd. Hmmmm. Kind of a bummer. Would have really liked to see a bigger loss. All I can do is not dwell and work harder. My goal still is 185 - someday. I think once the weather gets a bit nicer and the longer road rides start I should start shedding more body fat. Right now I'm putting on muscle, be it a very small amount, but I can tell. I'm almost ready to try on a pair of 34W Levi's. I'll wait til march for that. Daylight savings is on my birthday, March 9th, 2008.
