Status Report – Week # 9 May 9, 2010
Posted by Scott in Weekly Weigh In.trackback
Just a short sweet update for this Mother’s Day. I have had a pretty good week overall. Things continue to be very busy for me, and the week was not without a few challenges. The biggest challenge for me was my left hamstring. I am not sure what has happened to it, I can’t pin it down to a specific event, but it has been extremely tight for about 5 days now. I have tried stretching it on numerous occasions, but still the tightness continues. I haven’t done any of my c25k program this week because of this. I actually enjoyed week one of the program, and was looking forward to making progress in week two. Once I get the hamstring figured out, I will get back to the training that the program lays out.
I did pretty well with my eating choices this week. It was not without a few setbacks, but overall things went well. The results on the scale this morning show that I made some progress this week also. I weighed in at 251 this morning, which is down another 3 pounds from last Sunday. I had a feeling that things were going pretty well, but without the exercise, I wasn’t really sure what I would see this morning. Needless to say, I was quite happy to see the number 251. Surprised even, but I will definitely take it.
I want to wish everyone a Happy Mother’s Day today. I will be thinking of my Mom today, and trying to make it a great day for the Mother of my kids.
Congrats! You had a fabulous week! I am very happy for you. You are doing so great. Keep up the good work!
Good job so far on the weight loss. A 3 lb loss can really make you feel good. A more experienced runner than I suggested not stretching or overextending when I had a little hamstring tightness. After a few days of rest the problem went away. You might try that.
