Weekend in Review...

Greetings!  I have not posted anything all weekend so you can just imagine how things went!  So let me do a quick recap for ya!  Friday, Saturday, Sunday: Bad, Bad, Bad!!

I did not workout at all for these 3 days.  My eating ranged from roast beef sandwiches, hot links, lemon pepper wings, double cheeseburger, cheetos, BBQ chips, pepsi, coke and the list goes on!  Sigh! I have 7 days to undo what I did in 3 days.  Monday Sept 20th is weigh in day.  I expect losses everytime I get on that scale!  Time to put my game face back on!  Let's do the durn thang!

Shin Splints: Oh the Pain

Every sinced I walked yesterday I have had really bad shin plint pain.  Normally shin plints don't concern me cause they go away after a day or two, but I am wondering why all of a sudden I have shin splints.  It has been a good 7 weeks or so since I started excercising so why am I getting shin splints now. 

Some causes of Shin Splints:

• Overuse
• Running on uneven surfaces or hard surfaces
• Shoes with poor shock absorption
• weak leg muscles
• Tight Muscles
• Flat Feet

So I read and research and based on my finds I have no idea what could have cause the shin splint flare up.  But know that it is rather painful.  Gonna take me some advil, my research suggested that, as well as icing my legs.

KFC is evil!

Started the morning off with another little walk.  I parked my car in one of the surrounding residential areas and walked to the office.  Depending on how I feel after work I will walk.  I started this day with no packed food hoping it will help me stay on my liquid diet.  I stocked up the office & the house with stuff to make protein shakes, I have my crystal light, propel and good ole fashion water, hoping I could make it through the day without eating.  Sad to report I didn't!  I tried I really did. But tomorrow is another day.  I will try to do better.

Meal of Tempation: The Story
Okay so here I am on my evening neighborhood walk after work.  I had already been walking for about 30 minutes, I am walking down Pico Blvd and I see a KFC!  That is all it took, I wanted some KFC.  So low and behold I walked my tail into KFC and ordered a hot wing combo!  Can you believe that?  In the middle of me trying to walk for excerise I take a detour to KFC!  Again....I amuse myself.
