Saddle Sore

I definitely woke up feeling the effects of riding 5 miles on my bike yesterday. Ouch! This morning I had to go to the hospital to do a "barium swallow" which required me to start fasting at midnight. This test went well, and the doctor told me that he didn't see anything abnormal as he was taking the x-rays but he still had to read the films. After I got home and fed Mariah, I finally got something to eat. I was able to get a run in, but not my pilates again. ugh! I just want one perfect day. lol That's probably not going to happen anytime soon, so I just try to focus on the positive, and make good choices. I went to my parents' house for dinner, and later Jon and I went for a walk and got ice cream. I figured I could afford it since I didn't get breakfast, and my lunch was really low calorie. :-) I'm feeling pretty good about this week so far. I hope I can see some real progress when I weigh in on Sunday.
I've decided to run the Seaway Run at the end of June. I asked my dad if he might be interested in training for the 5k too. I think he might. That would be fun! So, anyway, the Seaway run 5k is my short term goal.

Here is my info for the day:

Food:

Breakfast: None because I had to fast for my test.

Lunch: Spring green salad with 4oz or maybe even less of baked chicken breast, a little bit of slivered almonds, and some craisins with Italian dressing.

Dinner: Hamburger with cheese, carrots, strawberries, Mexican corn and bean salad.

Snacks: String cheese, medium chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Yikes!

Exercise: 2 mile run, hill sprints, half mile walk, and 1.25 mile walk. About 55 minutes.

I'm getting pretty tired, so I think it's time for bed. :-) More tomorrow!
