Feel the Burn!

So, I forgot to blog yesterday so I will do yesterday and today's, well, today............
November 16, 2011:
I added running in VERY short spurts to my routine. I did about 2 each lap but it was hard. Not the actual running part but I have crappy ankles. It felt like someone was shoving spikes up my ankles each step. I haven't shaved off any time yet. *sigh* I do about 13 minutes miles walking. I wondered what the problem was if I was adding running to it. I should at least shave off a few seconds.

Got a bit of a late start this morning. I am usually up and out the door by 5:15 am. This morning it was about 5:35 am. So, I only did the running in short spurts thing during the first lap. I wanted to do an experiment to see if I could figure out why no time was shaved yesterday. Second lap I did the same time. I think I know why. I am slowing down my walking after I do the run thing. Sooooooo, tomorrow morning, I am going to have to really pay attention to the whole walking after I run thing. I am hoping to at least build up to running one of the laps completely by New Year's.
My eating:
I was trying to eat 6 small meals a day. I do well with that but some days I just can't get to some of the meals and end up pigging out. It is healthy food, but I still feel like I am eating too much of it. I am going to see if I can make something up that is very low in fat and carbs but high in nutrition that I can carry around in my purse in case I do find myself not able to eat.
This morning I had egg whites with a slice of low fat sharp cheese. I seasoned with a little dill.(I looove me some sharp cheese) I also had half a ruby red grapefruit. For lunch at work (I usually have a small mid morning snack that I couldn't do this morning) I had a salad: spinach leaves. a couple of tbs. crushed Pecans, about 3 tbs. of crumbled low-fat feta, 2 tbs. of white oninon chopped, cherry tomatoes, and a couple of TBS. of raisins. Unfortunately I left my dressing at home. (Right now I am using a balsamic vinagerette. I had the spray kind, ran out and put some from another bottle into the spray bottle. I use much less.) I went to the little coffee/sandwich shop next door. They made me up some oil and vinegar. It was good, but I like my stuff at home better. Oh, and I added some fresh dill sprigs to the salad as well.
For my drinking: I had a bottle of water during and right after the workout. I then had my coffee. When I got to work, I had a bottle of water with lemonade mix and I am, as I type, drinking another one.
So, that is what is going on today. I am pretty tired right now. I am looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully CJ will sleep in on Saturday! Oh, wait, I added Saturday to the exercise regime. I was thinking about doing Sunday as well. I am still not sure. I guess Sunday will be my rest day. Alright, anywho, hopefully I can get to some crafting here this weekend. If not, then DEFINITELY during the Thanksgiving break.
EDIT, EDIT:
Can't believe I forgot this!!! I did the sock bun thing again on the night of the 15th. This time I put my hair up in the ponytail, put some mousse in it and then wet my hand and run it through the ponytail. When I was getting ready for work, took it down and it looked great. The curls were still there this morning when I woke up with my usual bed head (I think a bird nests in it when I sleep). I am going to try a bigger sock for maybe some bigger waves. :-)
