Wednesday Check-in: 7/31/2013

Workout(s):
2.5 mile walk/run this morning.  I ran 6 minutes after warming up and it felt awful.  Legs hurt, had trouble breathing, just miserable.  Last time I ran last week it did not feel like this.  So I walked the rest of the lap and tried to run some more on the next lap. Ran about 3 minutes, felt the same and decided that was enough.  I was walking the rest of the way.  I felt like it was my body telling me something was wrong.  Whether it's the impending weather, the fact I didn't sleep well last night or just the go, go, go of the last few weeks adding up, the running wasn't meant to be this morning.  Sometimes you have to step back and make that decision for the better of your health.  Friday I will be back at the running though!  In good news, my hubby ran 0.75 miles straight!  I am so proud.  I wish I had had a better day to share it with him!

Distance: 2.45 miles 
Time: 39 minutes

Food notes:
Lunch: Lowe's Foods salad and I drank some of my apple cider vinegar drink before hand and my stomach did well
Supper: Beef kabobs (stew beef, squash, green pepper, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes), my Parmesan cheese g-free pasta (I make the dish, the pasta is Tinkyada) and a nice salad.
Breakfast: 2 slices of bacon and 2 eggs

How I feel:
Exhausted! I had to get up and take medicine because my legs and right arm were about to drive me crazy when I went to bed last night and then I still couldn't get to sleep when I went to bed 20 minutes later.  Some time though I fell asleep but it was a restless sleep.  I can't let this freak me out, I go through spells where I sleep like this and it gets better.  I'm a little achy and I'm wondering if it's the coming weather.  We'll see.

Personal notes:
I'm reading The Paleo Answer by Loren Cordain and the more I read the  more I am positive I am going to try Paleo, mainly by doing the Whole 30 for 30 days and going from there.  I know they say to jump right in but we are having one final celebration for my husband's birthday on Friday night at the local pub to see a band we like and I plan on having a cider or two while I'm there.  So I'm not sure when I'm starting but it will be soon.
 



That's it, I have sailing with our oldest tonight if the weather holds or if there is enough wind.  Then it's home to the concoction my hubby made in the crockpot, yum!
