Week 6

And I'm down to

239.6!!

That's a total of 13.6 pounds GONE! in the last 6 weeks. *sigh* I'm in heaven. The only thing I'm actually upset about though is I didn't make my goal of running/walking a mile in under 14 mins. The lowest I was able to achieve was 14:08, yesterday. (Sunday 7/12). And mind you, this was while I was in some EXCRUCIATING pain. I ended up walking the second mile (as you can tell by the times) because the muscle that connects your calf to the muscle running down the rest of your leg was hurting soooooooooo bad. I could barely walk when I came through the door, and Michael actually told me to lay down and he rubbed and rubbed while I cried and cried. I honestly have a small bruise where it was hurting the worst. I have no idea what I did to it, but I never want to do it again. lol. And, I popped some ibuprofen before I went to bed, and woke up feeling like a champ...and went running/walking again. YES! Now, to make sure I exercise everyday this week is going to be my next challenge. Michael told me I need to rest my knees (they hurt, significantly), so he has offered to work me out tomorrow.....I'm actually scared. A lean, fit Marine is going to put me through hell. He even said, "you're going to hate me tomorrow." What the hell did I get myself into????
