Goals are going well so far today! I got back in touch with my running coach from last year and he and I are going to meet tomorrow! Yes! He is going to do a one-hour "runner's massage" and we'll talk strategy about how to heal my IT band during the massage. (It isn't the "relaxation" type of massage so we can easily chat.) Phew. I am super glad he could fit me in right away.
JO! 2 more pounds down! Look at you go! What is your total lost so far? You must be getting close to the 10 pound mark, yes? Have you thought about rewards? (non-food, of course) Like, for every 10 pounds you lose, you should get some sort of reward. Ideas: manicure or pedicure (or both!), new shoes--not necessarily running shoes, just if you happen to be a "shoe person" and love shoes, massage, a new iPod since you are running/walking so much, etc. You definitely need to reward yourself at each milestone!
EE--breathe, babe. Vacation is 3 weeks away.![]()
IT band goes from deep inside the butt to below the outside of the knee. Lots of opportunity to irritate when running.

Can I ask a dump question?? waht is an IT Band?![]()
Did a thirty minute run today. I don't know why but it was a bit of a struggle, my muscles just felt tired. I was tempted to throw in the towel but I didn't.
I'm doing some Valentines Day stuff for people at work then heading off to hockey. I'll respond to a bunch here when I get home.
Oh yeah and.... it's almost Friday!!!
Paula - How did I deal with it? I felt shame and pressure and I ate. Yep. Bad dealing. I had a skinny body, toned, but still felt fat. I swear I obsessed more about how clothes fit me at 162-157 than I do now. Total crazy head. I'm SURE Erika and Kat saw it. Although they did put a picture of my hot pink *** on the internet, so maybe you don't want to use them as a crutch. Kidding! Not about the picture.
Seriously, call me. After work today? You can call me on the way home from the gym at night. Anytime.
Good Morning!
Jobs prospects - Ive sent off around 11 applications, registered with some employment agencies and now Im just playing the waiting game. The closing dates for the jobs are in the next week or two so hopefully I'll get some interviews!
Finding it hard at the minute to stay positive - the reason being that the office is still open until Feb 20th, so its business as usual until then, but obviously all the staff are finding it hard, and it just seems that day after day we are having the same conversations and all scrambling for jobs. Hard at the minute.
A NAP!! Erika, I don't think Ive ever seen you type these words! Naps are good!
Im glad Kelly's ear is doing ok, sounds like such a pain! I loved how Cammie helped
PAULA - I can't say the words any better that Erika, Nancy, Liz and everyone so I will just say you inspire me. Every day. And you rock.
LIZ - Awesome on the loss
MEG - You deserve so much better than a loser
LISA - Your posts make me smile, every single day
KAT - Glee - its getting so awesome! Also on Tuesday night they are showing the first part of CSI Trilogy?! Have you seen this, is it awesome? I love the idea of everyone together!
EVERYONE - Hi
I know there is a ton I've missed and I do apologise! Its just weird here at the minute but I am checking in every single day
Hope everyone has a great day![]()
I have to admit, I did shy away from posting for a few days because I didn't want to bring everyone down.
!
And Jo - way to go on the loss.![]()
