Runs for Cookies: Wednesday Weigh-In: Week 182

I thought it would be better for you to do a weighing today, since three weeks have passed. Oh! Time has spent so fast and it is difficult to stay up. However, I’ve really been enjoying time away from my blog. It really has not been for any reason that my need for a mental rest from him, and has definitely helped.

I would like to be able to say that my weight has dropped a significant amount since my last weighing, but I definitely did not expect it. Nothing has changed when it comes to my diet (which is not good) and I want to create better habits. This month has been a little crazy and I need to do a better job to handle changes in the routine.

As for today, it was in 145.2, which is only a bit of the 146 that I think was three weeks ago. As my habits have not changed, I can’t expect my weight;)

The Eli baseball team boys asked if I would take photos in their games this year, and that made me feel good! Then, of course, I agreed. However, it is a surprisingly large commitment. Usually, I take about 250 photos during the game (I make many explosions to be able to have fun photos of action), and then I have to upload them to my computer to be able to delete those that did not come out or have multiple similar. (Usually, I limit it to approximately 100.) Then I try to make sure you have photos of each child. And then I upload them to a shared album so that children can download what they want. I really enjoy doing it for them, knowing that they are excited to have them.

Despite the changes in the routine, I have not been eating * too much * terribly. I have not had sweets/desserts (and since I do not yearn for sugar at this time, I will not have the opportunity for a cookie or something). Recently I bought a kitchen book called Vegan Asian by the blogger in The gastronomic takes the flight (Jeca Uy). [I’ve been buying cookbooks over the last year or so rather than using recipe sites–there are just SO MANY ads on sites that it takes way too long to simply check out the ingredients in a recipe to decide if I even want to make it.] I’m glad to have this book because it is absolutely incredible. My sure favorite cookbook. I have made several recipes and all have turned out delicious.

The only problem is that many ingredients are not exactly healthy. There is a lot of sodium (mainly soy sauce) and a lot of oil (to jump). In addition, I have been eating portions that are definitely bigger than they should be.

I would like to eat again after 7:00 pm (that is the greatest help when I want to lose weight, I discovered), but it is almost impossible with Eli baseball schedule. Their games are usually at 4:00 (sometimes up to 45 minutes away) and many of them are double headed. So we don’t get home until 8:30 or 9:00!

As for the exercise, I have not been doing my morning races and I would really like to start them again. The reason I stopped was that I hurt my knee in the most stupid way possible. I was cleaning the garage and was trying to remove a drawer from a small nightst table. I bought it in a garage sale years ago with the plan to refine it; But when I tried to sand the painting, I discovered that it must be a kind of magical painting because it did not detach. I gave up.

Anyway, the drawer was stuck and I could not, for my life, open it and leave. (I had an idea of ​​how to use the stand without the drawers and wanted to try it). I grabbed a hammer and started trying to hit the drawer out; I was studying a little. After several hard blows, he finally began to let go. I removed the hammer and turned very strong, thinking that the final blow would take the drawer.

Well, the hammer broke through the bottom of the drawer (which was only thin plywood) and landed right in my damn bruit. The pain was blinding and I couldn’t even move. I was really worried about destroying the bone, how could a direct blow to a hammer? But I ended with a very deep bruise and a very painful knee. It even hurt to move my foot for about a week, which is when I stopped my morning races.

I should have started again, but it had been so long and «one more day» would not make a difference (history of my life). And now it’s weeks later. Someone sent me a link to a challenge for a career streak in May, which is the month of awareness of mental health. You can register (something like you would with a career) and it is A virtual challenge Run (or walk) a mile a day for all May.

I really like that idea! As I am passionate about mental health and I would like to run again, it seems to be a good option for me. I haven’t made the commitment yet, but I’m quite sure I’m going to do it.

I met a friend at Metark on Sunday for a six -mile walk. She had chosen the last place where we walked, so it was my turn to choose from. I found myself felt nostalgic along the way where I used to do many of my long races with Jessica (and even alone). It turned out to be a bad day for that particular park (I was flooded in many areas because we have had a lot of rain), but seeing people running on the road gave me a little desire to do it too. I find it so inspiring, whether the person is very quickly or out of shape and slow, inspires me anyway.

I know that I said this several times now, but I will get to my goal so that the week is a couple of races, not around the block, but at least a couple of miles. If it is too difficult, I will take breaks to walk, but I think I can handle a couple of miles if I run slow enough;) In addition, I will publish photos of Friday night before my photos get out of control!
